Look at who K.C. played this season.

And then you know why they have the #1 rushing attack.

Now look at who Baltimore played, all those tough teams, and then remember that they are #5 in the league AGAINST THE RUN.

KC's somewhat fraudulent rushing stats are MORE THAN compensated for by Baltimore's rushing defense.

I seriously can't think of one aspect of KC's game that is superior to Baltimore. And anything KC does well, Baltimore more than neutralizes.

Based on strength of schedule and playoff experience alone, Baltimore wins this game.

This is were K.C.'s ride ends. If the Chargers would step up this game would be in San Diego. ( Which means a whale's vagina) Ron Burgany. Baltimore will roll K.C.. No real contest here, just an ass kicking. Ravens by 10, at least.

BALTIMORE RAVENS ARE A 100% LOCK. JUST AS THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS WERE!!

THE BALTIMORE RAVENS RUN DEFENSE IN 5TH IN NFL!

CHIEFS ARE 1ST, BUTTTT THEY PLAYED SHITTY TEAMS!

AND THEY WILL MAKE CASSEL THROW PICK AFTER PICK AFTER PICK.

CHIEFS WILL WANT TO THROW IN THE TOWEL COME HALFTIME!

RAVENS MONEYLINE, RAVENSTEASE, RAVENS EVERYTHING I WILL BET MY HOUSE ON RAVENS TOMORROW!

your offensive coordinator turns into a little box in the second half of games instead of going for the knockout punch.

he is the worst.

keep throwing those check downs to ray rice, Cam....see where that gets you.

their defense isn't great anymore men...you have to score points in this league if you wanna win. Chiefs 19-16

anger issue man?

This type of analysis got me in trouble on my New Orleans bet, but heres what I see:

KC Won all thier home games except Oakland, and that game was meaningless.

However, they didn't beat a single playoff team this year, except Seattle. Some pretty bad losses, including getting destroyed by Denver and San Diego.

Baltimore ended the season well, although the looked horrible last week. They had many quality wins, Jets, Pitt @ Pitt, New Orleans, and only bad loss was Cincy. Other losses, Pitt, NE, and Atlanta.

So, given that analysis I guess you gotta go KC. Right? Going Seattle on paper made as much sense as going KC but I got my ass handed to me on that game. Maybe it's an all dog weekend.

If the spread stays at 3, books think Chiefs have a shot

Exactly. Vegas is on fire. beware!!!

Already shaping up like last years playoffs.

Saints losing today takes the cake.

Ravens losing doesn't seem out of the realm now does it?

Just hard to go against them for the obvious reasons.

Hell, who in their right mind would take the Chiefs, the line is only 3? Way too easy...

Tuff game to call plain and simple...vegas isnt trying to pull any tricks here just giving the edge to Baltimore because of defense, otherwise offensively these teams are about the same. Home field advantage is huge however in arrowhead. I feel like KC has the ability to step up in big games, wouldnt be surprised if BALT gets the win and moves on but I feel comfortable with KC plus the points. Most likely I think this game might end up in a push. Plus the books are refusing to back off which means they think they are right. NOT FEELING 100% ON THIS ONE, but rolling with KC'S Dynamic backfield, special teams, homefield advt, and underated defense

KC +3 (small)

i would prob tease this with GB...? kc +10 gb +9.5

good luck to all aloha

Kansas City +3

Chiefs laying points at Arrowhead in the playoffs? I'll take it. I am not at all impressed with what the Ravens have done this season relative to other years. They've shown defensive vulnerability late in games (Atlanta, Houston) and have a knack for letting teams hang in there. Way too over hyped in my opinion.

I hope the favs to better today. KC will need to get their run game going in this one but that's a tuff task to do against a very solid Ravens defense. I'm hoping the Ravens start off strong on this one...

Ravens at the half -2

Aloha and good luck to all
