Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers: The Chiefs are coming off of an impressive defensive performance that saw them cause eight turnovers against the New York Jets, while the Steelers may still be licking wounds from the 34-3 thrashing handed to them last week by the Philadelphia Eagles.  

Given that, this game should be a no brainer – Kansas City goes to Pittsburgh and easily beats the Steelers.  Not so fast – the Chiefs forced eight turnovers but only scored 24 points, six of which were by the defense on an interception returned for a touchdown.  Something tells me the offense struggled or the Jets defense is absolutely stellar.  

In the NFL teams have no choice but to get over losses easily and I am sure the Steelers have done that; what better way to redeem yourself than play at home on Sunday night?!  I am looking forward to this game because I think we will see different teams than we saw last week – the Chiefs may be involved in eight turnovers again but it may be their offense turning it over and the Steelers may once again be involved in a blowout – this time on the right side of it!

Prediction:  Kansas City 10, Pittsburgh 38 (Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le’Veon Bell light it up in the Steel City)

Go Broncos – beat the Buccaneers!
