Patrick Mahomes against Lamar Jackson is always a fun game to watch. The Ravens are coming off an emotional loss against the Las Vegas Raiders Monday Night. The Chiefs are coming off a win in a very close game against the Cleveland Browns. Let's look into who has the advantage.
When the Ravens pass: This is a wash here. The Ravens often struggle in passing yards because they are a run first team. The Ravens are 23rd in passing and the Chiefs are 23rd in passing yards given up.
When the Ravens rush: The Ravens have a massive advantage here. They are 2nd in rush yards while the Chiefs are 28th in stopping the run. A very few teams have limited this Baltimore team in rush yards.

They had 9 players on the latest Injury Report for the week. 4 were in limited practice, 5 DNP with one being non-injury related.
MY PICK:
The Ravens just do not match-up well against the Chiefs. Even when mostly fully healthy the Ravens just couldn't beat these Chiefs in the last 3 years. The Chiefs are at basically full healthy while the Ravens are having bad luck when it comes to injuries this year. The Ravens are at home which should help a little but after an emotionally draining loss in primetime I just don't see them pulling off this win.
Ravens: 21
Chiefs: 34
Yahoo Pick'em: 91% picked the Chiefs to win this game at the time of writing this.
