Baltimore Ravens vs Kansas City Chiefs Preview

For the first time in their 28-year franchise history, the Ravens are hosting the AFC Championship and this will be the first conference/league title game in the city of Baltimore since the Colts hosted the Giants in December 1959.

Quite a lot has changed for Baltimore since their last appearance in this game 11 years ago but the coach and “take no prisoners” attitude remains a hallmark of this team.

They will need to be at their best to knock off the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs who are coming off a dramatic win in Buffalo last week.

Any time you want to back against Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs it is a massive risk given his ability to create magic out of nothing but Baltimore and their MVP quarterback combined with the top ranked defence is enough of a reason to have some faith in the home team.

The one thing the Ravens cannot afford is a slow start like they had to endure against Houston last week as playing with a lead (or at least within one score) allows them to stay balanced.

Chances are this game is going down to the wire and at home with that defence, I’ll take the Ravens to hold on and advance to the Super Bowl.

As for the player markets, in a game loaded with superstar talent there is no shortage of players to back.

Lamar Jackson is as much of an x-factor as anyone in the league and his ability to switch between dangerous rusher and big play passer makes him a nightmare to handle even for the best defences.

To stay in this game he needs to do it all and I’ll be backing him to have a big day doing it all as he shoulders the load for the Ravens offence once again.

On the Chiefs side, as tempting as it is to back some Mahomes, I’m going to ride with Isiah Pacheco as the Ravens have been slightly more vulnerable on the ground and their main goal will be slowing down Mahomes.

With an inconsistent passing game all season, Mahomes and coach Andy Reid might opt to run the ball a bit more just to keep them honest.

But for the final play I’m going to land on the touchdown combination market, pairing up the tight ends and Gus Edwards to have at least two scores.

At this time of year a tight end is a quarterback’s best friend in the red zone and we know Baltimore have no problems pounding it in from short range.
