It writes: “We don’t see anyone stopping Mahomes & Co., especially at Arrowhead. The two-time MVP is 36-11 at home in his career. He’s also 15-4 in September and 5-2 on Thursdays. After beating the Ravens by a touchdown on the road in their most recent matchup, we like the Chiefs to win by at least a field goal here and cover the spread. Kansas City is mostly healthy and a well-oiled machine at this point, whereas Baltimore may struggle with its new-look offensive line and defensively without Macdonald. Mahomes is 4-1 against the Ravens (including the postseason), so look for him and the defending Super Bowl champs to kick off the season with a win.”

Bill Speros writes: “The Chiefs celebrate their second-straight Super Bowl title. Expect Taylor Swift to be in attendance along with a full house in Kansas City for this AFC Championship Game rematch. The Chiefs opened the NFL season at home last year and lost to the Lions. The Ravens have seen multiple departures in free agency and on their coaching staff. But John Harbaugh has four months to prepare for this game. He’s 12-4 in Week 1 and is getting points. Lamar Jackson pocketed a 5-year, $260 million contract this offseason. He’ll be fully healthy, something that’s always an issue in the postseason. And he’s 11-2 ATS as a starter as an underdog.”
