I will say that I am not purely a results-based guy. I prefer the quality of the team and how likely I think they can win in January.

The Ravens and the Chiefs are the two best teams in the league and are both built to succeed in January.

I'd personally rank the Chiefs ahead because I trust Mahomes, who rises to the occasion in January, over Lamar, who regresses.

However, the NFL has never seen a run game like the one the Ravens have now. Two Hall of Famers in the backfield, who play perfectly complimentary styles. And I think it's enough to beat any team in the league, including the Chiefs.

I just think both teams are about even right now.
