Kansas City Chiefs vs. Baltimore Ravens Prediction
I’d say there’s about a 0% chance we see that many points in this contest. This is the playoffs, not a high-scoring regular season game, and these two defenses have been carrying Mahomes and Lamar of late. A lot has changed since that 36-35 game back in 2021…
As a Commanders fan, I’d give Mike Macdonald whatever he wants to become our next head coach. He has brought this Ravens defense back to life, and they have played their best football down the stretch. Coach Macdonald’s defense is going to control this AFC Championship…
Let’s be honest, this hasn’t been the prettiest season for Mahomes and this Chiefs offense. This is the best defense I’ve seen in KC with Mahomes under center, though. We all know the Ravens history of folding in the playoffs, and Lamar has been known to lose a touch of accuracy in the big games. He will be the MVP this season, but that doesn’t mean Kansas City won’t find a way to slow him down defensively.
The over in this game is the most public, square bet of the weekend. If you bet the over in this game, just know you’re with nearly 80% of the public. The craziest part is, the total has actually dropped a point even with the public hammering the over in this game. This week on ESPN and NFL Network, I didn’t see a single analyst predict this game to have less than 50 points. You know what you have to do...
It might not be the fun play, but isn’t it more fun when your bet actually hits than just taking what you want to root for? It is for me at least. If you want to join me on this rare 5u play, I’ll meet you at the cash counter when this under smacks.
