After rolling over the Texans to open the season, the Chiefs were pushed to their very limit on the road by rookie quarterback Justin Herbert and the Chargers. They’ll be looking to bounce back this week against their biggest AFC rival and the most likely team standing in the way of them earning a first-round bye. Patrick Mahomes has had plenty of success against the Ravens defense in his two career starts against them. He’s completed 69% of his passes for 751 yards with a 5:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio against Baltimore.
The Ravens, a lot like last year, are simply rolling over opponents right now. They’ve won their first two games by a combined 49 points but face by far their toughest test against Kansas City. Lamar Jackson hasn’t been super notable in his first two games against the Chiefs, completing only 52% of his passes and being sacked five times, but we’re still working with a small sample size.
This is about as even a game as there is in Week 3, so I’m leaning toward the team with more trustworthy secondary pieces. Right now, that’s Baltimore. Aside from the stars at tight end and the speedsters at WR1, I trust the Miles Boykins and Willie Sneads of the world more than Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson. I also think the Ravens will be able to effectively run on a Chiefs defense allowing the fifth-most rushing yards per game to this point,
