I would like an arrowhead rematch to show the Chiefs there was no fluke and Mahomes has trouble in the future.

It's very simple on Steelers to me. I WANT STEELERS TO LOSE. Why would I want Steelers who Bengals beat twice to have a chance to go deeper in play-offs than Bengals. I hope Chiefs clobber them. Bengals would go to Tennessee and not Buffalo. Buffalo would go to Kansas City. Steelers would be One and Done. Good, I Hate The Steelers.

Are the Refs really not fulltime?

Yeah, don't see how Pittsburgh has a chance. Unless the football gods want to give Big Ben one more miracle game.

You think that many Bengals fans would sell their tickets?? Wouldn't happen.

I'm really surprised by that, even here in Australia in the NRL our refs are fulltime. To put it in to comparison the NRL operates under a salary cap of A$10m for 30 players, which is about $7.5M US.

In years past it could have happened, but it appears the attitude about the team may be changing. And it's been 33 years since we last hosted an AFCCG, so I'd hope fans would hang onto their seats for that reason alone.

Titans if Chiefs win.
Bills if Steelers win.

The number of Steelers fans in the stadium is always drastically exaggerated by reports. They put a lot of fans in road games, but they don’t fill half the stadium.

Plan on Tennessee because the steelers are going to get their butts handed to them tonight.
Just scared of what veteran QB they sign in offseason. Because don't think the guy they will want will be available at spot they will be slotted to draft.
But enough of that, its time to watch their thrashing.

Don’t count the Steelers out so fast. The team playing with nothing to lose is often the scariest team to face. Odds favor a Kansas City win of course — but one never knows how this thing will end. Pittsburgh still has a credible pass rush and their secondary can be opportunistic.

Nah. Steelers lose by at least 2 scores. Book it.
