Kansas City Chiefs vs Baltimore Ravens
A matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens on Sunday evening in the AFC Championship game will determine who books their ticket to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
The Chiefs will be on the road for the first time in the Mahomes and Andy Reid Era where they do not have home field advantage. The Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills last week in a nail biting 27-24 contest. Mahomes will look to lead the Chiefs to yet another Super Bowl appearance, the offense played their best football last week against the Bills. The Chiefs were able to run the ball very effectively last week and that opened up the passing game when they needed it and caught the Bills by surprise. The Chiefs defense didn’t have an answer for Josh Allen as he ran for two rushing Touchdowns and a passing touchdown. The Chiefs defense has a tough task at hand by having to matchup against Lamar Jackson. The Chiefs key to success will be to cause turnovers and turn those into points.
The Baltimore Ravens came off a victory against the Houston Texans which resulted in a 34-10 final score. The Ravens in the first half were a little rusty coming off a bye week due to having the first seed in the playoffs. The Ravens really flipped the script in the second half of the Texans game as they out scored the Texans 24-0 in the second half. Lamar Jackson will look to lead the offense to a Super Bowl as he’s been one of the most effective quarterbacks this season, the key for the offense will not to turn the ball over. As for the Defense they will have to worry about Mahomes using his legs rather than his arm as last week Mahomes used his legs more than he usually does.
The winner of this matchup between the Chiefs and Ravens will be the Conference champions of the AFC and will also punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.
Score Prediction: (28-24) Chiefs Win
