Trend bettors note that Action Network reports Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is 26-9-1 against the spread (ATS) as either an underdog or a favorite of 3 points or less. The Steelers are 21-6-3 ATS as a home underdog under 18th year head coach Mike Tomlin, including 2-0 ATS this year. Both teams are playing their third game in 11 days, and some NFL superstars including on the Chiefs are not fans of the league putting them in this position.
"You never want to play this many games in this short of time. It's just not great for your body," Mahomes told ESPN. Kelce said on his "New Heights" podcast (21:30 mark) he is "excited" about the Christmas game, and "I'll play whenever and whereever, and I cherish every time I get to play." But he added his "body is not as excited," and it feels like a "challenge" from the NFL to play this many games so quickly.
Still, the Chiefs have been so fortunate, despite being very good, with their record 11th one-score win last week in defeating the Houston Texans. The Chiefs are 2-0 heading into this third game in 11-days while the Steelers are 0-2. Despite the Chiefs recent win with QB Mahomes shaking off an ankle injury, Kansas City players are dealing with more bumps, bruises and injuries. Now star DT Chris Jones and OT Jawaan Taylor are questionable to play against the Steelers and LT D.J. Humphries (hamstring) out. Support for the home underdog taking a field goal in a projected lower-scoring game.
