This is in no way playing with House Money. Hell you guys said he's the Michael Jordan of football. In the six championships runs no one ever uttered the words playing with House Money. Anytime Michale stepped on the court in the playoffs the pressure was on because nothing mattered more than winning. When Mike was sick they weren't playing with House Money he was expected to win. When Scottie hurt his back he wasn't playing with House Money he was expected to win. When everyone had the Jazz beating the Bulls they weren't playing with House Money they were expected to win. Only on Planet Chiefs does the "GOAT" get to play with House Money.

I don't think anyone thinks that Mahomes will play to 45. But the fact is he had 2 rings at age 27, while Brady had 3, but Brady didn't win another one (his 4th) till age 36. Mahomes has a lot of time to 'catch up' to get to 4 long before Brady ever did so that's something to consider.
The difference with Lamar is he's 27 and has zero. In fact, he's never even played for one. You say he's 'got plenty of time' like Mahomes, which is technically true, but its not like he's literally in the conference Title Game every single year (which Mahomes has been), which makes Pat's odds MUCH better to add to that ring collection than Lamar.
This is Lamar's first BIG playoff game. No one knows how he's gonna perform, not even Ravens fans. He's NEVER been in this situation before.
Guess we'll see on Sunday . . . . . .
