Everyone is looking for action on Wild Card Weekend, and lucky for you, we at BetSided got you cvoered.

In this article we have the Kansas City Chiefs as historic betting favorites at WynnBET Sportsbook, (we broke down how big favorites do in the Wild Card game) as they are set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon.

Here are the nuts and bolts for this Sunday night matchup in what could be Ben Roethlisberger's final game and possibly the start of a third straight Chiefs AFC Championship.

Check out our game preview for this matchup here

Steelers vs. Chiefs Info for Spread Bettors

  • The Chiefs are 12.5-point favorites at WynnBET
  • Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is 47-25-3 as an underdog in his career
  • The Steelers are 6-4 as underdogs this season
  • The Chiefs are 3-7 against the spread (ATS) over their last 10 games
  • The Chiefs are 5-3 ATS with Patrick Mahomes as quarterback in the postseason

Steelers vs. Chiefs Info for Moneyline Bettors

  • The Chiefs are -700 on the moneyline (Risk $700 to win $100)
  • The Steelers are +500 on the moneyline (Risk $100 to win $500)
  • The Chiefs are 7-2 straight up (SU) at home this season
  • The Steelers are 3-5 SU on the road this season

Steelers vs. Chiefs Info for Over/Under Bettors

  • The total is set at 46 points (Over -110/Under -110)
  • The Chiefs are 10-7 to the OVER this season
  • The Steelers are 6-10-1 to the OVER this season
  • Kansas City has gone OVER in 5 straight games
  • Pittsburgh has gone UNDER in 3 of their last 4 games

Verdict

It's tough to get excited to back the Steelers despite the success of Tomlin in this spot. Pittsburgh travelled to Kansas City three weeks ago and got stomped by the AFC West Champions, 36-10.

While this number may appear inflated from the last matchup that closed Chiefs -10, double digit favorites on Wildcard Weekend are 8-2 ATS, per @ClevTA.

I don't believe Roethlisberger and the Steelers are worthy of making the postseason and are lucky to be here and get blasted again. I'll lay it with the Chiefs.

PICK: Chiefs -12.5
