It is literally five minutes until game time, so this preview post won't be long.
As it is the line went from -3 for the Ravens earlier in the week to -5, so it seems the people with skin in this one don't have much confidence in the Chiefs.
A major key is the injuries. We've lost left guard Joe Thuney, and this is majorly critical. We will also be without Willie Gay and Derrick Nnadi, extremely critical to stop a fine Ravens running game highlighted by Lamar Jackson's insane scrambling ability. The Ravens, meanwhile, are relatively healthy, with only nagging injuries to a D-back and their excellent tight end Mark Andrews who's playing after being out for several games.
So yeah, this game is definitely a "In Mahomes -- and our decent defense -- we trust" game.
Being the team who is considered not-as-good as the other team, maybe we'll get a break in this one and steal a win as we'd been victims of being the better team and still losing so many times. 71, 90, 94, 95, 97, 03, 13, 16, 17, and 21 were all years we were better than the other team in the playoff match-up we lost that season.
Game-time!
