Week 11 in the National Football League kicks off for the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers with a trip to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Steelers find themselves in unfamiliar territory in the AFC North after last week's loss to the Bengals. They are looking up at Cincinnati. At 6-3, Pittsburgh looks to bounce back against the Chiefs in a game that they should win.

NFL odds makers are calling the Steelers heavy road favorites in this one. The spread in Vegas is sitting at, Pittsburgh -11 with the total in the game set at 40.

For the Steelers, 2009 has been all about balance. They have won games on the arm of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, on the legs of running back Rashard Mendenhall and on the back of their defense.

However, last
week against the Bengals, they failed to score a touchdown in the 18-12 home loss to Cincinnati.

"There was just something missing all day, I don't know what it was," said Roethlisberger, who was 20 of 40 for 174 yards and an interception. "We weren't good in the red zone, we weren't good in the run, we weren't good in the pass. It hurts."

Taking a trip to Kansas City may be just the place to get back on track.

The Chiefs have allowed averages of 443.3 yards and 30.0 points in losing their last three at Arrowhead, and they are 0-4 at home for the first time since opening 0-6 in 1976.

I just don't see the Chiefs being able to handle the Steelers in this one. They will be playing with something to prove and I feel sorry for Kansas City. This is going to be a bad week to run into Pittsburgh.

Take the Steelers and give the points.
