NFL O/U Game of the Week
November 18th 2009 - Special K            

Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs (Under 40.5 points)

The good news for the Chiefs is that Troy Polamalu will likely be sidelined. The bad news for the Chiefs is that their most productive wide receiver has been suspended for violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Not only that the Steelers come into this game angry from their loss to the Bengals. 

The Chiefs high school offense will not be able to move the football against the Steelers D. Matt Cassel is going to have flashbacks from last year when he got sacked 5 times and turned it over 4 times against this same Steelers defense. This was with the Patriots offensive line protecting him! There's no telling how the Chiefs offensive line is going to handle the Steelers defensive pressure.

Lately, the only way teams have been able to score on the Steelers is with either punt or kick returns for touchdowns. The Chiefs don't have that explosive returner so I can't see them scoring that way.

Some Trivia for you: When was the last time the Chiefs were shutout at Arrowhead?
This question is for when the game gets into the 4th quarter and the announcers start wondering when was the last time the Chiefs were blanked at home. You can proudly answer - 1994 against St. Louis.

If the Chiefs defense can hold the Steelers to under 40 points in this game then we are all set on the under.
