2016 rushing yards season stats:
Chiefs: 1,748 yards Opponents: 1,938
1. Chiefs leading tackler Derrick Johnson out
2. Leveon and that offensive line have been unstoppable since week 11
The only way chiefs win this game is if;
1. Ben gets hurt and/or throws 3 picks
2. Tyreek Hill goes bonkers and runs back 2 punts.
I got a fat futures bet on Steelers SB so I'm a bit biased, but I can't believe that a lot of good cappers here like the Chiefs.
Keep hearing about how hard it is to play in Arrowhead. Why? The chiefs barely squeak out wins against shitty teams at home, year in and year out. They lost to the Bucs and Titans (in a big end-of-season game) at home.
Alex Smith is incapable of winning on a game on his own, when did people start trusting him to win big games?
Steelers ML feels pretty damn close to free money. I'll take the hall of fame, 2 time SB champion quarterback, with arguably the best RB and WR in the game, and an improving defense over a regular-season-built team led by Alex Smith everyday.
What am i really missing?
"Dominating the run game" man you really lost me with that one
The way you write really remind me of someone I know here..... Anyways ...
First off, I dont really get into stats and trends hardcore, most of my thoughts are from the eye ball test, then ill go back and catch a lot of films and then I will go into past game stats or what not.
I do think PIT is a superior team in this matchup with KC, they have question marks all over their D, and while they have Bell, AB, and Big Ben who I notice make way too many errant throws, they are missing a WR2 that can take the top off a D, while Jesse James is serviceable, he isn't a game changing TE, Im not sure how you shut down AB or BELL, but it can be done where KC put their Focus on D with those 2 guys and force PIT to beat them with their other players. On the flip side of this game, KC can run on the speedy PIT D, and when they bring the blitz, Alex Smith and KC will do what they do, quick short passes to Kelece or Hill, Yes PIT have the home run ability at any play, but KC now also have this ability, factor this in with KC playing at home, I like KC's chances, and imho if you think PIT is going into KC and just going to whoop that A$$, I think you going to be one disappointed dude after the game. With that said, I still haven't place my bet but am leaning KC or no play.
