Game Thread: AFC Championship Game: Chiefs (11-6) @ Ravens (13-4)

[PDay8810]

And we all know which team the NFL wants in the Super Bowl.

sadly...this is the worst part of Goodall's NFL.

NOBODY is laughing now.

It's getting closer.

The Ravens are the better team. They should win.

But.....Mahomes has shown up in the playoffs over and over and Lamar has been shaky.

Also, the NFL brought in Shawn Smith to ref this one and this dude's crew apparently heavily favors the road team in recent years.

And we all know which team the NFL wants in the Super Bowl.

The Ravens won the last time they squared off but the Chiefs are 3-1 head to head against them.

To be clear.....Mahomes vs Jackson.

I’m goin to my brothers house for my nephew’s party while this game is on. I said let’s make sure the game is on not kid shows

 

[Stlducks]

My final prediction is Ravens 37 KC 28

Mahomes will do everything he can but Ravens D will be too much. Jackson will run all game when needed and pull away in the second half.

The guy who is supposed to plug up the middle was hurt against Buffalo and the Bills ran at that spot all game. Still hurt against the Ravens so thats still an issue. Outside of that I dont think any of the Chiefs injuries are dire but almost all of their units will be one injury away from being in trouble.

Its hard for me to see Mahomes' worst team beating Lamar's best team but I guess we'll find out.

These are the four best teams. All year they're a notch above. No one wanted to see overrated nfc east or afc east teams. These are the matchups that the whole year was played for.

Lots of good coaches on both sides of the ball in this one. Can the Chiefs really contain Lamar on the ground? I don't think so. And that's going to open up the rest. Chiefs D is in for it today.

On the other side Mahomes is going to get battered and make a few great plays. Won't be enough.

Ravens 34
Chiefs 24

Did you just subtly try to reverse jinx your team without reverse jinxing it? I saw right through that Clayton... shame on you.

Im really not superstitious but I will say that I generally slightly underestimate the Chiefs.

There are two types of Mahomes games. One type of game where his accuracy is a bit shaky, he still makes plays, he is still amazing but he wont beat a team like the Ravens playing like that. Then there is Mahomes where he plays almost perfectly. He beats everyone. Thats probably the way to handicap this game.

Don't blame him. Would you wanna set next to those two as they yelled all game long? I wouldn't.

It's getting closer.

What a bathroom break?

Got any game day grub going on?

I got some slow cooker carnitas tacos, stuffed mushrooms & jalapeno poppers. Everything will be done in about 45 minutes.

Ravens are the better and more talented team, but damn do they choke on the big stage time and time again.

The Bills couldn't put a fork in these Chiefs.

Almost everybody outside of Kansas City is rooting for the Ravens today.

Maybe it is the year of the Harbaughs?

The poll i saw was that the Chiefs were actually the 2nd most popular team remaining. Lions way ahead of the other three, though.

Chiefs could be both the 2nd most popular and most hated at the same time, though.

Like the Yankees, Cowboys, and Lakers. Adored by many, but hated by most.

I'll be rooting for the Chiefs.
