FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd

"I like the Chiefs here. If you look at Ben Roethlisberger, he's had like five or six games where he has been good and then the following week he struggles. He just doesn't have a lot left. If you look at how Pittsburgh attacks, it's a lot of underneath stuff. That is not what we saw during Big Ben's career, but that is just what he can do right now."

FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre

"This feels like the Chiefs big. The Steelers can't keep up."

PICK: Chiefs (-12.5 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 12.5 points

Other Things To Know

The Chiefs beat the Steelers 36-10 in Kansas City. Mo., on Dec. 26. Pittsburgh leads the all-time series 23-13, but Kansas City has won the previous two contests.

The Steelers won three of their final four games to make the playoffs for the second time in four seasons (with help from the Jacksonville Jaguars beating the Indianapolis Colts and the Los Angeles Chargers-Las Vegas Raiders game not ending in a tie).

The playoffs seemed unlikely after the Steelers started the season 1-3 but coach Mike Tomlin has yet to have a losing season in his 15 years in Pittsburgh. The Steelers have made the playoffs 10 times under Tomlin.

A big reason for the Steelers making the postseason is linebacker T.J. Watt, a Defensive Player of the Year candidate who leads the NFL with 22.5 sacks. Watt tied New York Giants Hall of Famer Michael Strahan for most sacks in a season.

Pittsburgh ranks 23rd in total offense (315.4 yards per game), 24th in defense (361.1 yards per game) and 20th in scoring (23.4 points per game).

The Chiefs, after a span of four losses in six games, won nine of their final 10 games of the regular season and are in the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season.

The Chiefs, seeking their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance, are third in the NFL in total offense (396.8 yards per game) and fourth in scoring (28.2 points per game),

Wide receiver Tyreek Hill has 111 catches for 1,239 yards (seventh in the NFL) with nine touchdowns (tied for ninth in the NFL) but was bothered by an ankle injury last week.
