It could be one of those games where Vegas gets either REALLY hammered, or makes huge profit. They're not gonna move the line to the point that KC is like a 4-5-6 point home dog, even if the money keeps pounding in on PIT. So either bettors will get it right and the Steelers come in and win as expected, causing Vegas to suffer, OR KC shows up and spoils the party.

Here's hoping it's the latter! As a Chiefs fan it's tempting to bet on PIT. But as a generally sharp bettor, I could actually see some value in a 12-win home playoff underdog if it gets to 3+. So in other words not betting would be best ... which is almost always the case. Heh.

I never edited my original post because if you click my link you will see KC opened on Scores and Odds as a 1 point dog thus the reason my thread title said as much.

If we're going to win, we have to make multiple big plays and hope the flags don't fly for mysterious holding calls when we do.

I'm 45 and NEVER seen my Chiefs in the Superbowl. My dad has stage 4 cancer and his time on this Earth isn't guaranteed next season. We're overdue as fans, and time is running out to celebrate a win with my dad. If there's ever a time for this squad to overachieve, THIS is the time.

No I wouldn't bet money on it at all. Chiefs are unpredictable, pre game analyst are always saying statements like " It depends which Alex shows up today" before a game.

If pre game analysts factor into your wagers, stay away from betting.

What do you think about the game tonight? I thought Clemson looked better than Bama last year, they just gave up a special teams and trick play TD, plus a weird TE long TD.
