Wow WTF Smells Fishy?

Baltimore at KC. Line is only Balt(-3) so thinking it should be a close game, right?

Odds to win AFC:

Baltimore(+700)
Kansas City(+2500)


Both will go to New England with a win. How are the odds so different?

i agree HCD ... not only that, but i thought maybe they wouldnt let a road team b a huge favorite, so that is why ... but then the saints are double digits ... i think this should be -7, not -3

Good point and a good catch Cat. Speaks volumes for how they see this game. Home field advantage must mean a lot more points in this match up. I just can't see KC winning this game. I hope they do but its not a good match-up for KC. KC happy to be there and Balt see's KC as a speed bump.

Not too sure both will go to NE with a win since I thought Indy or the Jets would, but I don't know how it all works.

Winner will go to NE unless Jets beat Indy. Then Jets will go to NE and KC/Balt winner goes to Pitt.

I think these odds reflect more about how either team does in their next game against either NE or Pitt. Even if KC were to beat Balt, their chances of getting by either NE or Pitt on the road is very very slim. However Baltimore's chances against NE or Pitt are very good in my opinion. Baltimore lost in OT at NE in a game they probably should have won, and also won at Pitt this year.

Looking at Kansas City's schedule this year I think its really tough to gauge how good this team really is. They easily had the easiest schedule of all the playoff teams having played only 2 games this year against playoff teams(a loss at Indy and a win at Seattle) They only played 3 games this year against teams with winning records and lost 2 of them(1-1 against SD and loss to Indy). I think Baltimore wins this game rather easily unless they let the crowd get to them early...

No one wants to believe more then I do. I spit shit and fart out better things then the ravens. My money is on the Ravens because I believe they are to much for KC. KC while much better still has not faced the hell that is coming to their home town. This team is plain nasty they really don't have a style other then they come at your with and they jam their game down your throat. I hope your right

I'm originally from KC and a lifelong Chiefs. I just don't see Balty losing this game. I think they win by at least 10. No homer play for me, I taking Balty....

Steel Im with on shiting ravens f***!*g cant stand them, but Im afraid that they do see KC as just that a speed bump, and sometimes those bumps cause damage. However my money is still on Balty, can't believe I actually said that.

I will be happy to lose two units just to watch the ravens lose.

Beat me to it.

Ravens are a great road playoff team as of late.
