NFL Odds: Steelers Visit Undefeated Chiefs

You know things are going wrong for the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS) when their own fans start booing them. But after a humbling loss to Jacksonville, the Steelers will be on the road this Sunday to face the Kansas City Chiefs (5-0 SU and ATS), kicking off at 4:25 PM ET on CBS. The Chiefs are 5-point favorites on the NFL odds board at press time after opening at –4.5.


The Steelers are still one of the better teams in the NFL on paper, despite a rare bad performance by QB Ben Roethlisberger; he threw five interceptions in last week’s 30-9 loss to the Jaguars (+8 away). However, Roethlisberger will be hoping for the return of RT Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) to the offensive line. Gilbert’s status for Sunday remains unclear after missing the past three games.

Kansas City has some issues up front with both center Mitch Morse (foot) and RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (knee) on the sidelines, and Pro Bowl TE Travis Kelce has been diagnosed with a concussion from last week’s 42-34 win over the Houston Texans (+3 at home). Otherwise, the Chiefs have been the correct NFL pick every week thus far.

NFL Odds: Chiefs Put Streak on the Line Versus Steelers

The Kansas City Chiefs (5-0 SU and ATS) have been flawless as an NFL pick thus far. Their chances of remaining undefeated in Week 6 look good; after opening at –4.5, Kansas City is a 5-point home chalk for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS), beginning at 4:25 PM ET on CBS.


The Steelers are coming off an embarrassing 30-9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars as 8-point home favorites, but they might catch a break this week: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce has been diagnosed with a concussion and might not be cleared for Sunday.
