Pittsburgh has revenge on its mind after getting blown out, 36-10, by Kansas City on Dec. 26 when Pat Mahomes was near perfect in completing 23 of 30 for 258 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. The Steelers' defense has clamped down since then, allowing a total of only 27 points in its last two games against Cleveland and Baltimore while keeping the Ravens out of the end zone for the most part, even with Baltimore racking up 249 rushing yards last week. The Chiefs had to come from behind to beat Denver and needed an 86-yard fumble return by linebacker Nick Bolton to help their cause. The week before, the Chiefs lost at Cincinnati, and they haven't covered their last two games. Pittsburgh is 16-6-3 ATS in its past 25 January games and 35-14-2 ATS as an underdog. And giving Ben Roethlisberger this many points in a big game seems like a gift. Kansas City is 5-12 ATS following an ATS loss and 1-4 ATS in its last five January games. The UNDER is 38-15-1 in the Steelers' past 54 road games, and they are 9-4-1 UNDER after a win. The Chiefs have also stayed UNDER in four of their last five Wild Card games. Play the Steelers for a Max Play, and also back the UNDER for a Max Play.
