Top Cappers News
Over the years, one lesson has stood out: never count out Mike Tomlin when he’s a home underdog. Regardless of the opponent’s strength, Tomlin’s Steelers have a knack for keeping games close and occasionally pulling off the upset. With Pittsburgh getting a full 3.0 points in this matchup, I’m taking the value and rolling with them.
To start, the Steelers received encouraging news on Monday’s injury report. Both wide receiver George Pickens and linebacker T.J. Watt are expected to play. This is a game-changer, as both players are arguably the most critical on their respective sides of the ball, making a significant impact on Pittsburgh’s chances.
Pittsburgh also shines in key statistical areas that could swing this game. They rank second in the NFL in turnover margin (+1.1 per game), significantly outpacing Kansas City, which ranks 12th (+0.3). Defensively, the Steelers are elite on third downs, ranking fifth (35.4%), and are respectable in red-zone defense, sitting at 13th (53.8%). Add in the ever-reliable Chris Boswell (39-42 FG, 32-32 PAT) in the kicking game, and Pittsburgh has the tools to stay competitive in what could be a tightly contested matchup against the reigning champs.
With their strong defensive metrics, clutch special teams, and the boost of playing at home, I’m backing Pittsburgh to cover—and maybe even pull off a surprise win. Take Pittsburgh ATS
