Spread: Baltimore -2.5
Moneyline: Baltimore (-145)
Total: 48.5
Baltimore Ravens: Scoring Big, Stopping Nobody
The Ravens have been an offensive juggernaut, averaging an NFL-best 37 points per game. Lamar Jackson is in elite form, tossing nine touchdowns without a pick in 75 attempts. The problem? Their defense has been a turnstile, giving up 32 points per contest and ranking dead last in yards allowed. Monday night’s loss to Detroit exposed the soft run defense, surrendering 224 rushing yards.
Still, this team is dangerous. Derrick Henry is pounding the ground game with 242 rushing yards and three scores, though his fumble issues have become a storyline. If Baltimore’s defense can even be average, their offense can cover.
Ravens Prop to Watch: Lamar Jackson Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns – He’s locked in and faces a Kansas City defense struggling with coverage breakdowns.
Kansas City Chiefs: Searching for Rhythm
The Chiefs snapped their early skid with a 22-9 win over the Giants, but Patrick Mahomes isn’t exactly leading a fireworks show. Kansas City is only averaging 20 points per game, with red-zone stalls turning drives into field goals. Mahomes himself leads the team in rushing with 125 yards, never a good sign for balance.
Help could be on the way with Xavier Worthy returning from injury, giving Mahomes a much-needed weapon outside. Still, this offense has to start faster against a Ravens team that can pile up points in bunches.
Chiefs Prop to Watch: Travis Kelce Anytime Touchdown – With red-zone efficiency lacking, Mahomes leans on his most trusted option near the goal line.
NFL Prediction & Betting Angle
This game feels like a battle of Baltimore’s scoring machine versus Kansas City’s slow-starting offense. If the Ravens clean up turnovers, they should be able to grind out a win.
Final Score: Ravens 27, Chiefs 23
Lean: Baltimore -2.5
Total: Over 48.5
