Najee Harris Over 3.5 Receptions Made (-122 Caesars)

Coming into the game as huge underdogs suggest that the Steelers should be in catch-up mode. This could lead to a lot of dump off’s going to Harris. The Chief’s defense has given up the fourth-most receptions to running backs this season at over 6.4 per game. For the season Harris is averaging 4.4 receptions per contest. He has covered this line nine times this season and had five in the team’s previous meeting this season.

Ben Roethlisberger Over 225.5 Passing Yards (-125 DraftKings)

Ben Roethlisberger comes into the playoffs averaging 233.8 passing yards per game and covering this line 11 times this season for a 69% hit rate. With the Steelers presumably in come-back mode as big underdogs, the passing volume should once again be there. He has averaged 37.8 pass attempts per game and has thrown 40 or more in three of his last five games. The Kansas City defense has given up 251.4 passing yards per game this season, so look for an over from Roethlisberger in this game.

Patrick Mahomes Over 19.5 Rushing Yards (-110 DraftKings)

Patrick Mahomes comes into the playoffs averaging 22.4 rushing yards per game this season but has picked it up over his last five games. He has gone over this line in four of his last five. The Steelers defense has given up the 5th most rushing yards to quarterbacks this season at over 23 yards per game. With the Steelers ranking pretty good against wide receivers and tight ends, look for Mahomes to have to tuck and run on a few occasions to get over this rushing prop.

Darrel Williams Over 21.5 Receiving Yards (-110 PointsBet)

With Clyde Edwards-Helaire ruled out for this matchup Williams will take over as the lead back once again. Williams has hit this line eight times this season despite having to split work with Edwards-Helaire in half of the games. The Steelers have given up over 38 yards per game through the air to opposing running backs this season. Over the last five games without Edwards-Helaire he has averaged 43.6 receiving yards per contest. The big spread is a little concerning, but the Chiefs will still look to throw the ball and as mentioned earlier have been above league average against receivers and tight ends this season, paving the way for some Darrel Williams check downs.
