The NFL is finally back, so it's time to talk about the first game of the year, Ravens vs Chiefs. This is a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game in which the Chiefs won 17-10. I'm gonna talk about this game and who I think will win. Let's go!
The Chiefs won the Super Bowl for the second straight year, the first team to repeat in almost 20 years, as well as their 3rd Super Bowl in the last 5 years. Patrick Mahomes had a mediocre season for his standards, but still had a good season with 4,183 yards, 27 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. However, he had an incredible playoff run, with 1,051 yards, 6 touchdowns and only 1 interception, on the road to his 3rd Super Bowl MVP. The Chiefs re-signed Chris Jones and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, and brought in Hollywood Brown. However, coach Andy Reid confirmed Brown wouldn't play week 1. It was a great off-season, but can they do what no team has ever done and go back-to-back-to-back?
The Ravens fell short to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship despite shutting them out in the second half. Lamar Jackson won his 2nd MVP with 3,678 yards, 24 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. The Ravens brought in Derrick Henry, the leagues best running back. However they lost defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald to the Seahawks, which was crushing for them. We'll see what they can do.
Now for my predictions. This will be a hell of a game, but I see the Chiefs winning 31-30. Mahomes and Jackson will both have amazing games, and Henry will also dominate, but Travis Kelce will have a really good game, and Isiah Pacheco will have a solid running performance.
