The Kansas City Chiefs are favored for a fifth consecutive game in this afternoon’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Laying points hasn’t bothered them thus far, as the Chiefs are the only undefeated team against the spread in the NFL. They’ll need to exact some revenge and beat the Steelers by at least 3.5 points to extend the streak.
The Chiefs were also favored in their final five games last season, including an 18-16 loss to the Steelers in the divisional round of the playoffs. Pittsburgh is just 2-4 against the spread since, starting with a 36-17 loss to New England as 5.5-point underdogs in last year’s AFC Championship and extending through last week’s 30-9 loss to the Jaguars as 7.5-point favorites.
This week’s tilt between potential AFC powers is the game of the week in the Sun’s handicapping contest, meaning it’s a required pick for the Sun’s sports staff. In total, they must make six plays off of the South Point betting board.
