Does anyone believe that?
Baltimore, at home, with their record and with a team that's performed at/near the same level we have both offensively and defensively. They even have a very experienced HC and good STs unit.
That's a really good football team.
So am I alone in thinking they SHOULD be favorites? I mean even if they're 60% to win, they'd still be 40% to lose - that's by no means zero.

With the Chiefs and their struggles this year, I expected the opening line to be -4.5 to -6.5 for the Ravens. Vegas has more data and we are basically slightly worse than a coinflip on a neutral field. What's even more interesting, looking at prop bets, all of the Ravens defensive front are well into the +100 odds for will they have a sack. Both Karlaftis and Jones are -109 to -156. The Ravens lead the league in sacks, but Vegas odds say they don't think they will get to Mahomes. Not saying they won't, just pointing out that I found that very interesting.
