The Steelers rely on things which can generally be relied upon: a franchise QB and an elite running game.
The Chiefs rely on things which are incredibly unreliable -- special teams, turnovers. If these things happen once again, Chiefs can win the game. But since I'd never predict a team to win based on forcing turnovers vs a first-ballot Hall of Fame franchise QB, I'll go with:
Steelers 27
Chiefs 17
...and seriously hope I'm wrong and we can create those turnovers and huge plays we'd need.
As for weather, I don't know. If it forces the Steelers to run more, that could be a bad thing. Although Big Ben can carve us up, he COULD also make mistakes. Game-changers. If we don't stop Bell -- and we've shown ZERO signs all year we could do that -- how are we ever gonna get off the field?
