Does Patrick Mahomes finally have the defense to win despite the lack of offensive firepower? Do the Ravens continue their double-digit win streak against the league’s best teams?
Patrick Mahomes vs. Lamar Jackson – Heavy Weight Battle
Patrick Mahomes will play in his 6th consecutive AFC Championship, as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Stadium. Mahomes will have to play the league’s best defense who lead the league in points allowed (16.5 per game), sacks (60), and takeaways (31). In my opinion, this defense will be too much for Mahomes and the Chiefs will fall short of victory due to their lack of skill players ability to make the big plays that will be needed to win.
Lamar Jackson has an opportunity to lead his team to a Super Bowl for the first time in his career. He is the MVP favorite, and a former MVP, but has yet to put together a play off run. I believe today is the today, he dominates the game and will be the best player on the field. I think this is Lamar’s year to win the Bowl and it starts with a win today.
