The Kansas City Chiefs are the league\u2019s top power-rated team and Super Bowl favorites mostly due to Mahomes, who\u2019s this year\u2019s MVP and seems destined to become the greatest quarterback to ever play the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If he\u2019s not sidelined by illness or injury, the only thing that can stop Mahomes is an elite defense.<\/p>\n<p>So this is where the Pittsburgh Steelers enter the picture. The 10-0 Steelers, whose scheduled Thanksgiving night game against the COVID-compromised Baltimore Ravens was postponed until Sunday, fit the profile of a team capable of taking down the reigning champs. They have an experienced quarterback who can trade shots with Mahomes and a defense that can make him <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear human and vulnerable. Pittsburgh ranks No. 1 in scoring defense at 17.4 ppg, and Ben Roethlisberger is putting up numbers \u2014 24 touchdown passes and just five interceptions \u2014 that make him more than a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Ben looks fantastic, and he should be in the MVP conversation,\u201d South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews said. \u201cI do have the Steelers as the second-best team in the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a slim margin between the league\u2019s top two teams. Andrews\u2019 power ratings show the Chiefs as 1.5 points better than the Steelers. To earn the top seed and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, Pittsburgh might need to stay perfect or at least go 15-1.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16471675\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-16471675 lazyload\" alt=\"Ben Roethlisberger\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Eagles_Steelers_Football-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Eagles_Steelers_Football-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Eagles_Steelers_Football-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Eagles_Steelers_Football-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Eagles_Steelers_Football-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>Ben Roethlisberger<\/span><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kansas City (9-1) is a 3.5-point favorite Sunday at Tampa Bay and still must play at New Orleans in Week 15. As of today, the Saints look like the strongest team in the NFC.<\/p>\n<p>Andrews has not posted a prop bet on the Steelers to finish 16-0 and scoffed at the idea, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s almost impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The DraftKings price on the 16-0 prop is \u201cNo\u201d -770 and \u201cYes\u201d +520. At BetMGM, \u201cYes\u201d is offered at +525.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turkey_Day_Tidbits\"><\/span>Turkey Day Tidbits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Washington Football Team at Dallas Cowboys<\/strong>: No player in the NFL has made a better comeback than Alex Smith, who threw for 166 yards and a touchdown in Washington\u2019s 20-9 victory over Cincinnati. Smith gives the Football Team some hope in a hopeless division. Suddenly, first place in the NFC East is on the line. The winner in this clash of clumsy 3-7 teams will pass Philadelphia (3-6-1) in the win column.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe public will bet on Dallas for sure,\u201d said John Murray, race and sports director at the Westgate SuperBook. \u201cObviously, the Washington offense is much better with Smith in there instead of Dwayne Haskins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While I bet on the Cowboys last week as 7-point underdogs in their 31-28 win at Minnesota, it\u2019s tough to trust them to do it again, this time in the favorite\u2019s role.<\/p>\n<p>For those into Thanksgiving trends, Dallas is 1-8 ATS in its last nine games on Turkey Day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Houston Texans at Detroit Lions<\/strong>: The first game of the day will draw the weakest wagering handle, partly due to the early kickoff but mostly because it\u2019s a weak game.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans are 2-0 against Jacksonville and 1-7 against all others, but they just upset New England and that should be enough to stir the betting public. It\u2019s also easier to back Deshaun Watson as the better quarterback. Matthew Stafford, playing with a bum right thumb, was sacked five times in the Lions\u2019 20-0 loss at Carolina in Week 11. Detroit was without top receiver Kenny Golladay and rookie running back D\u2019Andre Swift. Golladay has a chance to play in this one, but Swift is doubtful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can guarantee you Thursday morning we\u2019ll be loaded on Houston, which is playing a Lions team that just got shut out,\u201d Murray said. \u201cThe public wanted nothing to do with the Texans last week, but the public spins like a top and goes from team to team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Detroit has won three of its last 16 Thanksgiving games. My tip: Sleep in and tune in for the fourth quarter.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
