My pick CHIEFS 27-17.
CHIEFS are 2-6 in the last 8 games against Pittsburgh. That being said 5 of the losses were under a TD score. Although a huge Alex Smith fan and still believing Mahomes has a long way to getting to Alex's level I think the CHIEFS benefit with his big arm here. The Steelers play zone defense about 70% of the time. Their secondary is middle of the pack and they rely heavy on the pass rush. Mahomes big arm can help fit the ball through the gaps in the defensive backfield. Another huge help, no Bell. That dude has averaged 136 scrimmage yards against us. More than any other team he has faced. Our biggest problem, Andy Reid!! He sits on a lead with no desire to dominate..If Andy actually plays to win and keeps attacking instead of getting the lead and just trying to hold onto it I think the CHIEFS pull out the V. Would be a huge win for the CHIEFS and a huge stepping stone for Mahomes.. GO CHIEFS!
