The Chiefs won the AFC West this season, but they head into this playoff game
with the Ravens as 2.5-point underdogs. The Chiefs have to get over their last
loss, which was their first one at home, where they were killed by the Oakland
Raiders 31-10. In that game they gave up 209 rushing yards and QB Matt Cassel
was horrid going 11/33 for 115 yards with 0 TD and 2 INT. Kansas City will have
to get back to running the ball with their top-ranked rushing offense and play
good D for them to win this game.

Baltimore heads into the playoffs hot winning their last 4 games including beating
the Cincinnati Bengals 13-7 in their season finale. Their defense is their strength
and in the last 2 games they only gave up 17 points.

The Ravens played a much tougher schedule this season going 3-3 against
teams that are in the post-season while the Chiefs were only 1-1 and that one
win was over the 7-9 Seahawks.

This season the Chiefs were 9-7 ATS and the Ravens were 8-7-1 ATS.

The Chiefs feature a great backfield with the RB duo of Jamaal Charles (1,467
yards 5 TD) and Thomas Jones (896 yards 6 TD) and these 2 will have to play
well in this game for KC to win. Charles is the key and this season he averaged
6.4 yards per carry. This game is a good defensive match up for the Ravens, as
their 5th ranked run defense has been great in the 2nd half of the season, but their
pass D only ranks 21st in the league.

Matt Cassel is the 8th rated QB in the league, but the Chiefs only have the
league’s 30th ranked passing offense. If the Chiefs cannot run the ball Cassel will
have to carry the offense and if that happens Baltimore will be in good shape.
While the Ravens’ D, led by LB Ray Lewis, is an imposing bunch their pass rush
only ranks 27th with 27 sacks on the season.

The Ravens have a well balanced offense ranking 14th in rushing yards per game
and 21st in passing yards per game. RB Ray Rice had a good season, but in the
last 2 games he did not average 4 yards per carry. He will be going up against a
KC run defense that ranks 14th in the league, but was torched by the Raiders in
their last game.

Joe Flacco took advantage of his receiving weapons this season with the WR
duo Anquan Boldin (64 rec 837 yards 7 TD) and Derrick Mason (61 rec 802
yards 7 TD). The Chiefs’ defense has come up with 14 INT and 38 sacks this

season and some big plays on D will be vital for them in this game, especially if
the Ravens stuff the run.

The Chiefs have failed to cover the spread in their last 4 games against teams
with a winning road record and the Ravens are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 road
games.
