NFL Divisional Round Odds & Picks Against the Spread

Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs


Line: Chiefs (-1)


Pick Against the Spread: Chiefs (-1)


The Steelers bulldozed the Chiefs by 29 points back in Week 4, but that one was at Heinz Field. On the road this year, Ben Roethlisberger threw for just 238.0 yards per game and an ugly 9:8 TD:INT ratio, while the Steelers averaged just 21.62 points per contest (compared to 28.25 at home). The Chiefs, meanwhile, allowed just 15.75 points per game at Arrowhead and have the defensive personnel to at least slow down Pittsburgh's dangerous attack. This is going to be a close one, as the spread suggests, but the stark home/road splits for each team compels me to side with the Chiefs. (Getty)
