Opening Line: Chiefs – 3

The Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs meet this week in Kansas City with both teams trying to improve their postseason chances. Baltimore is in a much better position than Kansas City but a loss this week would have the Chiefs only a game back of the Ravens. The Ravens are in good position though and they have a very good chance at their division title and a good seed in the playoffs. Head coach Brian Billick said. "Fortunately, we are in a position where we can control our own destiny and we move forward. We don't have to rely on anyone else. Nothing else has to happen except for us to play good football, and we are capable of that." SBG Global reports that the betting public believes the Chiefs will play better, taking Kansas City laying the points.

The Chiefs are in a much more delicate position as they are in a five-way tie with the Jets, Bengals, Broncos and Jacksonville for the two wild-card spots in the conference. The Chiefs have made the playoffs just once in the last eight seasons.

The Ravens offense had been rolling but hit a roadblock last week against Cincinnati in which they did nothing until the final minute. The defense, which ranks first in the league in yards allowed and second in points allowed, played well but not well enough. The Ravens also lost return specialist B.J. Sams for the season last week with a broken fibula.

Kansas City is a 3 point favorite with a total of 36 at SBG Global.

The Chiefs are in recover mode after allowing the rotten Cleveland Browns to come back from 14 points down last week and win in overtime. Kansas City's offense looked good against the Browns but the defense went back to being horrible.

Kansas City has won each of its three meetings against the Ravens, all in Baltimore. The Chiefs have won 18 straight home games in December. The Raves are 22-9-1 ATS in their last 32 games following a loss. The Ravens are a poor underdog going 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. The Ravens are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Chiefs are 6-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and they are a sparkling 10-2 ATS in their last 12 home games. The Chiefs are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite. The Under is 7-2-2 in the Ravens last 11 vs. the AFC. The Under is 36-16-1 in the Ravens last 53 games as a road underdog. The Under is 6-2 in the Chiefs last 8 games as a home favorite.
