“To be clear, we don’t yet know if Buffalo will receive snow on Saturday night. But here’s what we’re sure: Lamar Jackson and Co. should be able to throw the ball against Sean McDermott’s defense. The Ravens won’t. didn’t exactly explode against the Titans in the wild-card round, and we’re still big believers in Josh Allen’s playing abilities. But something says Jackson’s electricity, coupled with The rest of Baltimore’s ground game will be important in what The numbers will be a blow-for-blow fight until the finish. Here’s another showdown between the 2018 and 2019 MVPs in the AFC title game! “- Cody Benjamin explains why one of his five bold predictions is that the Ravens will rock the bills.

“It will be a battle of two star quarterbacks, one to run him as well as anyone from Lamar Jackson’s position, and the other to Josh Allen, who has been outstanding throwing him this season. The Ravens will not do any of it. os. about what they want to do on offense is pound it. They’ve averaged 262 rushing yards per game in their last six games. The Bills have improved against the run since then. start of the year, but it’ll be a big challenge. Coordinator Leslie Frazier’s strategy will be something to watch in terms of trying to keep Jackson content. The Ravens’ defense is back healthy now, that is. is why they impressed last week against the Titans. But it’s a bigger challenge against Allen. will be a close game, but in the end I think Allen will make the winning plays late to pull it off – but this will be sharp as a razor. “- Pete Prisco explains why he takes the Ravens to hatch t.

“We also heard this week how Lamar Jackson had never played in the snow before. The current forecast is for cold and snow in Buffalo because it’s Buffalo in January. I just don’t know what impact that is. will have on Lamar because even though he hasn’t played in the snow, he played in the cold. It’s not like division rivals Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincinnati are in hot climates. I don’t see no time to impact one team more than the other. Instead what I see is the weather influencing the way each team plays. It will not only be cold with snow in the forecast, but Also high winds. The weather can force both teams to keep the ball on the ground more often than usual, and that could impact Josh Allen and Buffalo’s desire to throw themselves onto the pitch. You know, in assuming that there is a force in nature that can affect the serve Josh Allen. Anyway, I see the weather cramping both infractions and affecting the kicking game as well, so with all of that in mind thi the total seems a bit too high. “- Tom Fornelli explains why he leans Under on Bills-Ravens.

Browns at Chiefs

Time: Sunday, 3:05 p.m. ET (CBS), broadcast on CBS All Access

Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield have faced each other only once in their NFL careers, in Week 9 of 2018, when the Chiefs beat the Browns by 16 points. It’s not the only time that ‘They have faced each other in their footballing careers, however, as the two set a college football record with 1,279 passing yards combined when Oklahoma and Texas Tech faced off in 2016. It’s more about of the running game when it comes to the Browns, however, as in 14 games with Nick Chubb active, the Browns rushed for 160.2 yards per game and 23 touchdowns, and finished the regular season with the offense at The league’s No.3 run. Interestingly, the Chiefs have allowed 122.1 rushing yards per game this season, which is the worst among any playoff teams. Yet I find it hard to believe the Browns are going to upset the Chiefs in the division round. I think they can cover the gap, however, as the Chiefs haven’t won a game by more than six points since Week 8. As of Week 9, they’re 1-7 versus T spread, which is the worst in the NFL! “- Jordan Dajani explains why he leans towards Cleveland to cover.

SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein is 15-2 in his last 17 picks in games that include the Chiefs, and he’s got the best bet for that divisional game. Discover his choice on SportsLine, here.

“The Browns’ biggest defensive weakness is their secondary and it’s not a weakness you can afford to have when playing against the Chiefs. The only thing that worries me about the Chiefs is the rust factor. Normally I don’t put much stock in something like that, but their starters won’t have played for three weeks before they hit the pitch on Sunday. Last year they fell 24-0 behind the Texans before the rust wore off and now they’ve played a Browns team that just had the best first quarterback of any team in NFL playoff history. It’s not a ideal combination for Kansas City.

“I really expect this game to be a shootout, as it is every time Baker Mayfield and Mahomes go head to head.” – John Breech explains why he’s watching the Over.

Baker Mayfield More than 1.5 touchdowns in passing (-125)

The Chiefs’ pass defense has allowed at least two touchdowns in eight straight games. Mayfield has shot at least two scores in five of his last seven. The line suggests the Browns will have to chase the scoreboard. The odds are not ideal but it seems very safe. – Dave Richard of CBS Sports

Austin Hooper anytime TD (+250)

Hooper has come to life in his last six games, averaging 6.8 targets per game and scoring in four of them (and each of his last two). Kansas City has offered a touchdown to a tight end in each of its last two games and three of the last four. – Dave Richard of CBS Sports

“They progressed last week, but the Buccaneers struggled a bit against Taylor Heinicke and it wasn’t one of those wins that you feel good about going forward. It was kind of like s ‘they had just escaped rather than messaging the rest of the world. NFC that they were there to do a deep run. Meanwhile, the Saints had no problem with the Bears last time around, but you could argue that we haven’t learned much about New Orleans either as Chicago did its best to come away with the ‘L.’ While Tampa Bay has the talent, it’s hard to trust them to hit the road and kill the Saints. In their career, Drew Brees is 5-2 SU and ATS head-to-head with Tom Brady. game will be closer than previous games, but I will continue with the status quo in New Orleans. ”- Tyler Sullivan explains why he likes the Saints to cover on Sunday.

“When two division rivals meet in the playoffs, I don’t necessarily pay attention to what happened during the regular season, but in this game it’s a little hard to ignore. The Saints blew them up. Buccaneers twice this year with wins of 34-23 and 38-3, and yes I count that first score as a blowout as it was 34-17 late in the game until the Buccaneers scored a touchdown in the Apparently it’s supposed to be tough to beat a team three times in a season, but I’m starting to think it’s an old wives story that a drunken NFL fan made up one night after drinking a too many glass on Bourbon Street.Since 1970 a total of 21 teams have gone 2- 0 against a divisional opponent in the regular season and then faced them again in the playoffs and those 21 teams have a 14-7 record in the third game, which means that 66.7% of the teams finished iné the sweep of three games. Over the past 25 years, that number has risen to 75% (9-3). “- John Breech explains why he’s on Saints to cover.

“The Tampa Bay offense is making big numbers thanks to Brady, but this New Orleans defense hasn’t allowed 300 passing yards in any game of the year. So that New Orleans offense could be a little stronger than last week, but I think their ‘D’ dictates the game and the offense gets conservative in the second half. ”- SportsLine’s RJ White on the Pick Six podcast on why he’s leaning towards the Under .

Alvin Kamara Under 102.5 total yards (-115)

Tampa Bay has allowed 100 yards total with just two running backs all year (Dalvin Cook, Brian Hill in Week 17). Shoot, just seven teams had their total running back 100 yards against that front! The Bucs have kept opposing runners at 3.7 yards per carry for their past eight years, and despite ranking first in running backs per game allowed (6.18), they’re sixth in best yards per catch cleared (6.5) and 12th receiving touchdowns. per game allowed (0.18). Kamara is obviously a special player, but even he’s struggled to get even 70 total yards against the Bucs in two games this season despite receiving five receptions in each game. I expect Kamara to score and come close to the number, but not above it. “- Dave Richard of CBS Sports
