Yeah, no matter who wins this game, they are capable of winning that one game in Baltimore to go to the SB. But it won't be easy. This game is a big time emotion and energy spender.

Energy spender and multiple injuries on both sides. Take all of it as Ravens fans

Time to start an AFC championship game thread. Bring on the Chiefs!!

KC it is. Better defense. I feel like KC doesn't really change much when they see Lamar. One of the few teams that just kind of lines up and plays their game without trying any special gimmicks. Maybe that changes in a one off, winner takes all situation.

Reid always has our defenses number. Hopefully Macdonald us up to the challenge. Feels good that KC hasn't seen the Ravens with Monken and Macdonald yet. And being mostly healthy, at home. No excuses. Their offense is vulnerable if you stop the run. With their interior, that's a huge challenge. Pierce, Madibuike and Washington need to come ready to strap up and win their assignments. Roquan too. We're going to see a heavy dose of Pacheco and Edwards-Helaire.

Ravens should be favored by more than -3 IMO.

Mahomes will never be more than 3. Dude just kills it when he is a dog. Or when KC is -3 or better. Its like printing money

This year is different.

Did just move to 3.5 on DK. I hope youre right.

I do think this is the most vulnerable KC has been in a long time.

But they just turn it on in the playoffs. This is going to be a battle.

They arent that vulnerable. They finished 4th in DVOA. Behind two historical teams in Baltimore and SF mind you

Well, "most vulnerable" is still a pretty high bar. I just have faith this defensive unit can hold KC to 20 or fewer points, and I think the Ravens can surpass that.

It's crazy how much more accurate place kickers have become over the last decade or so. With that said, it's remarkable what the pressure of the postseason does to place kicking.

Conditions were a big part of that miss too. But yeah, stress under pressure and how you handle it is a real thing.

I'm not trying to take anything away from how big of a choke that kick was, because I feel like kickers should be nailing that even with the wind.  But it felt like the wind kicked up just in time for the kick, and as soon as the kick got blown off target, it died back down again.

[makoman]

Tucker missed from 41 and 46 in Buffalo in the playoffs. I'm fine mostly giving a pass to any kicker up there, the wind can be brutal and even if it doesn't kick up maybe you expect it and overcorrect. I think you just do your best and hope for the best. Not the same as the GB-SF game to me.

Hey, congratulations!

Appreciate it sir

[bmore_ken]

Congrats!

Thank you my friend

[bmore_ken]

Congratulations Ken

Thank you sir.

If you've been together 22 years and still love each other, you're one of the lucky ones. Wish nothing but the best for both of you going forward. Now let's see if the Ravens can get you a nice wedding present by winning 2 more games.

Thank you my friend. I should have married her a long time ago. This was the first game she watched from start to finish.

I just wish I had tickets. That place is going to be insane. 

[Slidemaster]

Appreciate it sir

Indeed, congrats to you! I know we have our differences from time to time, but genuinely happy for you.
