Last Game
The Chiefs had a tough showing in Week 2, nearly falling to the Los Angeles Chargers and rookie quarterback Justin Herbert. It took a fourth-quarter touchdown and last-second field goal to force overtime, followed by a game-winning field goal by Harrison Butker in the extra period.
Rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire struggled to get much going here (10 rushes for 38 yards), but quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ strong second half and two touchdowns fueled the comeback and eventual 23-20 win.

Trends
There’s no question that Mahomes will be key in this game, especially when factoring in that the Ravens have allowed just 94.5 rushing yards per game on the ground this season. Edwards-Helaire had a superb first week, but the Chiefs may look to get him going in Week 2 to open up the passing game even more.

Last Game
The Baltimore Ravens are off and running to start the 2020 NFL season, and it’s been a mixture of both their offense and defense getting the job done. Baltimore stifled Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson in Week 2, as he threw for 275 yards, but just one touchdown and one interception.
Texans running back David Johnson also had just 34 yards on 11 carries during Baltimore’s 33-16 win.

Trends
Lamar Jackson lit the NFL on fire last season, but in Week 2, he wasn’t needed quite as much, throwing for just 204 yards while rushing for 54 and scoring one touchdown.
The Ravens had four players rush for 48 or more yards against the Texans, including J.K. Dobbins (48 yards), Jackson (54), Mark Ingram (55), and Gus Edwards (73).

Betting on the Game
Point Spread
It’s a rare occurrence to see the Chiefs and Mahomes as underdogs, but that’s the case here against a high-powered Ravens offense. Kansas City’s near slip-up against the Chargers also likely played a part in this line favoring the Ravens by 3.5. One big factor in this game will be whether the Chiefs can slow down Jackson and the Ravens rushing attack.
Moneyline
The Chiefs enter here at +165, which could be a popular bet. As strong as the Ravens are, the Chiefs are still among the favorites to win the Super Bowl again this year behind the play of Mahomes, and these odds could move quite a bit prior to kickoff.
Over/Under
Although the Chiefs and Ravens have combined to go just 1-3 in over/under this season, there’s expected to be plenty of points in this game, as the two teams can light up the scoreboard. The Chiefs average 28.5 points per game, while the Ravens come in at an astounding 35.5.
