NFL Playoff Odds: Steelers, Chiefs road favorites for AFC wild-card round

The Steelers are 10-2 against the spread in their last 12 games on the road against the Bengals.

Cincinnati won the division with backup A.J. McCarron after Andy Dalton broke his right thumb in a home loss to Pittsburgh last month. Most also realize Marvin Lewis has never won a playoff game as a head coach. DeAngelo Williams leads the Steelers ground attack with 907 yards and 11 touchdowns and Antonio Brown is the top receiver with 136 receptions and 10 touchdowns.

The teams are set and we know who will be matched up against who – but when will the games be played and what part of your weekend should you block off and devote to football? The Steelers are already without star Le’Veon Bell, lost for the year after injuring his knee against Cincinnati in November.

The teams split in the regular season, with each winning on the road. If the Green Bay Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings, the Packers will be the No. 3 seed, the Seattle Seahawks will be the No. 5 seed, and the Vikings will be the No. 5 seed. My stronger play is on who will win against the spread and I will post that in the Premium Area. On the ground, Jeremy Hill had 96 yards and one touchdown in 16 attempts while Giovani Bernard added 36 yards in six attempts. The Steelers have been up and down all season and after splitting with the Bengals this season they want nothing more than another win in Cincinnati.

Washington are 1.5-point favorites over the Packers.

Both teams could be without key offensive players entering the playoffs. Kirk Cousins has had quite the breakthrough, with 12 touchdown passes and only one interception while averaging close to 300 yards during the streak.
