Kansas City Chiefs Form

Kansas City enter this matchup having already secured a place in the playoffs, and knowing that a 15th win of the season will ensure home field advantage for the postseason.

It may not have always been convincing, but the Chiefs did start their quest for a record-setting third Super Bowl success with a nine-game win streak.

That run was halted by a 30-21 defeat in Buffalo, but they rebounded immediately with another winning run that secured postseason football.

Kansas City got back to winning ways with a 30-27 victory in Carolina, and followed that up with home wins over Las Vegas, 19-17, and the Los Angeles Chargers, 19-17.

The Chiefs then beat Cleveland 21-7 on the road, before returning home to down Houston, 29-17, last weekend.

Pittsburgh Steelers Form

Pittsburgh are locked in a two-way fight with Baltimore to win the AFC North, having lost to the Ravens last weekend to fall to 10-5.

The Steelers opened with a three-game win streak, only to then cool off with back-to-back defeats, losing 27-24 in Indianapolis and 20-17 at home to Dallas.

They responded strongly to that early setback though, reeling off five consecutive wins starting with the 32-13 victory in Las Vegas.

Pittsburgh’s run was halted by a surprise 24-19 defeat to division rivals Cleveland, but they bounced back with two big AFC North successes, beating Cincinnati 44-38 and Cleveland 27-14.

The Steelers failed to make it three-in-a-row, losing 27-13 in Philadelphia, and that became back-to-back defeats last weekend as they lost a huge showdown with division rivals, Baltimore, 34-17.

Verdict

Kansas City are on the brink of making the AFC road to the Super Bowl go through Arrowhead.

One more win will do it, and considering the form they are in we are backing the Chiefs to get that win on Christmas Day.
