Jeremy Cluff writes: "We would not be surprised if the Chiefs upset the Ravens, but Baltimore feels destined for the Super Bowl this season. The offense is firing on all cylinders and the defense is clicking. The Ravens will slow down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs just enough to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2013."

Bill Bender writes: "The Chiefs are 9-3-1 ATS as an underdog during this six-year run. The Ravens are 6-0 ATS and 6-0 S/U when favored by four points or less this season. Mahomes just continues to find ways to get it done in the postseason. That said, the Ravens were our pick when the playoffs started. We'll stick with it knowing the Chiefs can blow that plan up."

Cody Benjamin writes: "Plenty of fans will be pulling for Baltimore just for the sake of watching someone other than the Chiefs fight for the Lombardi Trophy, and certainly the Ravens defense has the tools to keep things tight. But even with Lamar Jackson, Baltimore was uneven with the ball to open its game against Houston, and K.C.'s "D" under Steve Spagnuolo has been far stingier. Jackson's play-making rivals that of Mahomes, but like Tom Brady in his prime, No. 15 can't be written off."

Bill Speros writes: "Weather is always a concern in January in Maryland. Rain and winds are in the forecast. The Chiefs will be able to contain Lamar Jackson and force him to stay in the pocket. This one has "Instant Classic" in the storyline. But it's hard to go against Mahomes with a strong defense in this spot, especially when points are available. So we won't."
