First off in terms of competition. AFC is wide open. I don't trust Bengals during January and the Patriots are all battered up. With that being said I don't think the kid running Broncos will get it done either. You have two situations that contradicts each other. The Chiefs at +900 is ridiculously good value considering how good they're playing on defense and even offense (shocker?!?). They're able to score and move the ball but the only thing that concerns me is that the conservative play calling of Andy Reid will eventually be the end of this miracle turn around season. Their defense is legit though, top of the league legit, and that usually holds true come playoff time. The Steelers are actually lesser value but because of their dominate offense I think they can beat anyone. Their defense has stepped up in the last couple weeks (noted vs mediocre/bad teams and second string 40 y/o QBs) I can see this a magical run if they can sneak into playoffs.
I'm not a believer of Bills or Jets or Texans this year making the wildcard so I think both of these teams will manage to get in.
Thoughts? If Steelers beat Bengals I expect that +500 to drop another 100 or so and for Chiefs to be taken seriously and to be at +400-500 as well when playoff starts.

I will wait one week. As of this moment Steelers are still out of the playoff week (seriously?!?!?). But if they beat Bengals, while the value should go down I can easily see them remaining out of the wildcard if the current 5 and 6 teams win. Thanks for talking me out of the Chiefs though. As fun as it would be to watch Alex Smith go home and beat Team XYZ at Levis, that's more of a fan fiction than it is a possibility.
