On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens will meet in the AFC Championship Game. This game features star power on both sides, especially at the quarterback position, but it will be units like the defenses and special teams that will decide who represents the AFC in Super Bowl LVIII. Here, we give you our top Chiefs vs Ravens props as we keep giving you our NFL betting picks for Championship Sunday in the NFL.
Chiefs vs Ravens Player Prop #1: Lamar Jackson Under 210.5 Passing Yards (EVEN)
First on the list of our Chiefs vs Ravens props for Sunday is the total passing yards for Lamar Jackson in the AFC Championship Game. Jackson has not been asked to do much through the air for the Ravens of late, as he threw for under 200 yards against the Houston Texans. We expect him to stay under the 210.5-yard mark in this game as well.
Not only has Jackson not been asked to do much for the Ravens in the playoffs just yet. He also has not proven over the course of his career that he can put up big numbers in the playoffs. Jackson has thrown for over 200 yards in just one of his five career playoff games, with that coming in a 59-pass attempt game in a loss to the Tennessee Titans. Against an elite Chiefs defense, Jackson will struggle through the air once again.
Chiefs vs Ravens Player Prop #2: Justin Tucker Over 1.5 Made Field Goals (-130)
Our second prop play from this massive matchup between Kansas City and Baltimore concerns Ravens kicker Justin Tucker. Tucker is widely accepted to be the best kicker in the history of the NFL. We will trust him to make over 1.5 field goals in this game, as Tucker looks to do his part to help the Ravens reach the Super Bowl.
The thought process behind this bet is the expectation that the Chiefs defense will bend but not break against Baltimore. Andy Reid’s team did a great job of holding the Buffalo Bills to field goal attempts in last week’s Divisional playoff game. That should happen again in this matchup and, unlike Tyler Bass, Tucker will make the opportunities that he is given.
