For this weekend’s game Pittsburgh heads to Kansas City in a game that is sure to be tightly contested and certainly has no room for errors.

Our friends over at App Trigger simulated the Wild Card Playoff round last week and correctly predicted a Steelers victory. The simulation shows a turnover-ridden game for Alex Smith of the Chiefs, with him throwing three picks in a dominating 34-21 victory for Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger didn’t have an impressive outing in the simulation, going 14-23 for 206 yards and two passing touchdowns.
 
Naturally the simulation shows what is considered the most expected outcome of this weekend’s matchups; a New England Patriots victory over the Houston Texans. That would mean Pittsburgh will be traveling to Foxboro next weekend to face the Patriots for a trip to Super Bowl LI on the line. With the crowd noise at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs’ secondary and special teams to worry about Pittsburgh can use all the help they can get this weekend to keep their season alive.
