Another week, another incredibly lopsided matchup for the Baltimore Ravens.
The injured team, already out of the playoff hunts, hosts the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in a matchup that still has a good amount of postseason implications. After all, the Chiefs, riding a seven-game win streak of their own, are looking to hold onto their Wild Card spot and, maybe, even make a run at the AFC West.
Despite playing on the road, the Chiefs come into the 1 p.m. kickoff as 7-point favorites according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark. It’s the second straight week Baltimore has been lopsided underdogs.
Kansas City is coming off a slim 10-3 victory over the San Diego Chargers in Week 14, while the Ravens were held to just six points in their loss to the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday.
Of course, if the season ended today, the Ravens would likely agree to the terms. After all, Baltimore is 3-8-2 ATS in its last 13 games and 4-10 SU in its last 14 games. The Ravens are also 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games at home, a place where, just last year, they were dominant.
On the flip side, Kansas City is 5-0 SU in its last five games and 6-1 ATS in its last seven. However, the Chiefs are just 1-4 SU in their last five games against Baltimore.
The total for Sunday afternoon’s matchup between Kansas City and Baltimore is set at 43 points according to the sportsbooks. The total has gone UNDER in four of the Chiefs last games against Baltimore. It has also gone UNDER in four of the Ravens last five games.
The OddsShark computer is predicting a 24 – 19 Kansas City victory.
