Steelers are Suddenly Struggling

The Steelers are suddenly struggling and there have to be some major concerns inside the locker room of this team. The Steelers have lost two games in a row and the last two games haven’t been close. Two games ago against the Philadelphia Eagles, they lost 27-13 and in the last game against the Ravens, they lost 34-17. The defense had no answer for Derrick Henry or Lamar Jackson and the offense just wasn’t good enough. Russell Wilson completed 22 of his 33 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Jaylen Warran was the top rusher but only had 48 yards. 

The Steelers are averaging 23.5 points while their defense is giving up 19.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 12th in the league while the defense is ranked 6th. The defense needs to get back to their ways. 

Chiefs Just Keep Winning

They haven’t been exactly pretty at times, but the Chiefs just keep winning games. In the last game against the Houston Texans, the Chiefs scored 27 points, and that was enough for the eight-point victory. The defense made life tough on CJ Stroud and the two interceptions were a difference. Patrick Mahomes had a strong game completing 28 of his 41 passes for 260 yards, one touchdown, and zero interception. Kareem Hunt had a strong game on the ground rushing 11 times for 55 yards and a touchdown. Xavier Worthy finished with seven carries for 65 yards and a touchdown. 

The Chiefs are averaging 23.7 points while their defense is giving up 18.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league while the defense is ranked 3rd. In this game, they are going to need a strong game from Mahomes 

Kansas City Chiefs vs Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction

Even on the road, the Chiefs are going to find success here. The stats look pretty similar, except for the win and loss. The Chiefs offense has been impressive heading into this game, and Mahomes is going to have a huge game here.  Wilson is going to have a bad game here again, and the Steelers just aren’t going to be keeping up here. The Chiefs can win this game by at least seven points. Back the Chiefs against the spread here.
