The NFL gave fans two games to watch on Christmas Day. In the first game, back-to-back Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs (14-1) travel to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5).
Last week started with questions about Patrick Mahomes’ health and ended with the quarterback coming off an uncharacteristic performance against the Houston Texans with no issues at all. This puts the defending champions one win away from clinching the AFC’s No. 1 seed and allowing them to advance into the final week of the regular season.
Pittsburgh has lost two straight games against two tough opponents, most recently against the rival Baltimore Ravens. Their comfortable lead in the AFC North is no longer there and the Steelers must get back on track if they want to stay in the division.

Lorenzo Reyes: Chiefs 25, Steelers 17
This is an intriguing matchup as the Chiefs are looking to grab the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Steelers are looking to end a two-game drought, and the Ravens are chasing the AFC North. Dew. Pittsburgh currently doesn’t have enough points to confidently maintain this spot.
Tyler Dragon: Chiefs 25, Steelers 20
With the win, the Chiefs officially earned the No. 1 seed. They’re not going to take any chances. With Hollywood Brown in the lineup, Kansas City’s passing attack looks improved.
Richard Morin: Chiefs 25, Steelers 23
I’m hoping the Steelers get a run here, but it’s hard to pick on the NFL’s beloved team in the league’s first Netflix game. Equipped!
Jordan Mendoza: Chiefs 20, Steelers 17
Pittsburgh hasn’t been very good against quality opponents. With the home crowd excited, Kansas City will win and clinch the top seed in the AFC.
