The Chiefs are better than when we played them and Arrowhead is a tough place to play, but I really don't think they've improved enough to beat us. It may be close, but this is a game we should still win.

 

[PensPlz]

Pretty sure losing to Kansas City will be more humane than what New England will do to us haha

Oh well. Can't wait.

 

[Ogrezilla]

so mad the schedule got changed.

Playoff games should always be at night.

Playoff games should always be at night.

I disagree.

 

[Bruru71]

I usually hate all early NFL and NHL games so I love that this game got moved to 820. If ratings are good this will likely be the norm.

Yeah, they are already talking about adding more Sunday night games going forward and keeping it similar to the Saturday schedule if this goes well

 

[Ogrezilla]

yuck. Best part of football is that the games are in the afternoon.

That commercial is timeless.

I sleep and lay around on weekend afternoons. Out late at night. Football schedules don't work for me.

This will only be for postseason. Just likely the end of 1 oclock games on Sunday for the wildcard and Divisional rounds.

I don't understand. You just described why afternoon games are better I'm lying around doing nothing this afternoon, and will be out tonight. That's the problem.

I know. I just don't like it. I'm going to miss most of the game tonight, and what I do catch will be on the radio.

 

[mpp9]

I like to be active watching football. Especially playoff football.

Should win? You certainly can make the argument. But, I see this one as a pick em myself.

I suspect the Steelers will show more fight as a road playoff dog at NE than they've shown in the playoffs at home versus NE. They may not win (likely won't win), but it seems when the Steelers are true, bigger road dogs, they tend to play better than expected.

 

[Bruru71]

Last 11 NFL playoff games have been won by the home team. Hopefully Steelers can get it done today.

 

[Al Smith]

Since the current format began in 1990, not once have home teams won all eight games on the first two weekends. In fact, since 2002, home teams have won seven games on the first two weekends only once. That occurred in 2011, when the only road winner the first two weekends was the New York Giants at Green Bay in a second-round game.

Now that two home teams won yesterday, if K.C. and Dallas win, it will be the first time home teams won all games in the first two rounds.

I don't mind that so much as the fact that the games haven't been close.

Both road teams win today

 

[KIRK]

Both road teams win today

You parlay that?

 

[Al Smith]

You parlay that?

Looks like a $100 bet on both road teams will net about $530 if they both win. (Steelers +110 and Packers +200). Not a bad days work if you add a zero to your bet.

 

[Shrimper]

I'm expecting a loss but go Steelers!

That's the yinzer spirit!

 

[djt153]

need mvp caliber ben from here on out and not idiot hero ben

 

[ColePens]

Definitely agree. Need Ben to be Ben today in a big way. No turnovers and the 3 B's and we should be good. If we want to be real contenders, we need to be smart for 3 straight games.

 

[ChrisKuuuunitz]

field position will be huge, if we're starting inside our ten against that crowd all game it might get ugly. but I'm expecting a lot of no huddle today, and quick passes.
