History will be made this Christmas day with the first game ever to be streamed on Netflix. The first of two games will see the Kansas City Chiefs challenge the Steelers in the steel city. Two of the strongest teams in the AFC clash in a battle between playoff teams.
The Steelers are currently on a two-game losing streak, largely in thanks to a dip in offense. Pittsburgh has struggled with wide receiver George Pickens out with a hamstring injury, but he is set to rejoin the team for this game. Currently atop the AFC North, but only via tiebreaker, the Steelers will be looking to win in order to keep that lead over the Baltimore Ravens. If the Steelers can get the offense back to what it was, they have proven to be a legitimate threat. The lack of depth in offensive weapons, however, is a big concern big picture when considering Super Bowl contenders.
Kansas City comes into this game in a much more comfortable position, having already clinched the AFC West and eyeing down a first-round bye. Their defense has certainly been the star of the show this season, coming in third for points against, at 18.5 ppg (first over the last three at 14.3 ppg). The offense has also been steady and reliable at 23.7 ppg this season. They may not be the Chiefs that blow everyone out, but they are still as dominant in the most important statistic of them all, the win column.
Bodog has the Chiefs as -2.5 favorites at this time of writing this article. Both teams have looked great this season, but Kansas City had a small edge over Pittsburgh in most categories. The teams are only separated by 0.2 scored and 1.4 ppg against this season, so this should be a great holiday matchup.
