Pundit Picks: Not Many Believe Ravens Will Knock Off Chiefs

Can the Ravens upset the Chiefs?

The Baltimore Ravens are a 10-point underdog against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round. Not many pundits believe the Ravens will be able to pull off the upset.

The Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champions and have one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL. The Ravens, on the other hand, have struggled to score points this season and have a below-average defense.

However, the Ravens do have a few things going for them. They have a strong running game, led by running back J.K. Dobbins. They also have a good pass rush, led by outside linebacker Justin Houston.

If the Ravens can control the clock and keep the Chiefs' offense off the field, they have a chance to win the game. But it will be a tough task, and not many people believe they will be able to do it.

Keys to the game

Here are the keys to the game for the Ravens:

• Control the clock: The Ravens need to keep the Chiefs' offense off the field as much as possible. They can do this by running the ball and converting on third downs.
• Get pressure on Mahomes: The Ravens need to get pressure on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. If they can do this, they can force him into making mistakes.
• Make big plays: The Ravens need to make some big plays in order to win this game. They need to hit some deep passes and get some turnovers.

If the Ravens can do these things, they have a chance to upset the Chiefs. But it will be a tough task, and not many people believe they will be able to do it.

Prediction

I predict that the Chiefs will win the game, 27-17. The Chiefs are the better team and they have too much firepower for the Ravens to handle.
