Chiefs vs. Ravens Prediction
I’m on the Chiefs here. Mainly because we’re getting Patrick Mahomes in dangerous territory, and that’s as an underdog here. The Ravens have been rock solid this season, especially at home, but getting a field goal and a hook right now is too good to pass on given Mahomes’ pedigree in the postseason. Should be a fantastic matchup, but I’m backing the Chiefs with the points here.
