It's a very odd sales pitch the media is spitting instead of the thing we all know to be true and obvious - Mahomes is going to win most playoff games he's in. And just like Allen he's going to continue to beat most QB's and teams he's already beaten.
A HOF QB is a cheat code that very few teams can ever overcome if they don't have one.

I think people are looking at the regular season as a potential predictor of what could happen in th8s game. Whether you want to believe it or not. The Chiefs struggled for a large chunk of this season while the Ravens rolled through the regular season and their 1st playoff game. You said it yourself Lamar Jackson is much improved. The defense is much improved. You answered your own question. The reason why the media is predicting a Ravens win in a game the normally lose is because the QB is much improved. As well as tue defense. Add that with the fact the Chiefs haven't been the normal Chiefs this season and you get some being skeptical. Now with that said everyone k iws who Patrick Mahomes is and no one would be surprised if Mahomes went nuts and the Chiefs won.
