The Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs are meeting this weekend in what should be an entertaining AFC Championship game.
Several storylines have been present in NFL media this week, with different analysts having their respective reasoning and take on who they think will win the game.
The Ravens are currently favored by 3.5 points, but some analysts believe they could win by a hearty margin.
Willie Colon broke down his thoughts in a recent appearance on The Carton show, indicating that the Ravens are the much better team.
“I look at this Ravens team, and they seem more destined for the moment,” Colon said.

On paper, this is a contrarian argument.
The Chiefs have been one of the NFL’s best teams during the Patrick Mahomes era and are appearing in their sixth-straight AFC Championship.
While this might indicate that they have the upper hand and more experience being in this position, Colon looks at this game differently.
He believes that the Ravens have captured some magic this year, which could propel them to a win in this game, and perhaps a win in the Super Bowl.
The Ravens had one of the NFL’s best defenses during the regular season, and their offense was one of the most effective, mainly due to Lamar Jackson’s brilliance.
Jackson is the front-runner for league MVP, and pending a strange result, he will achieve the second such award in his career.
With all of this in mind, can the Ravens find a way to beat the Chiefs this weekend, proving their regular season success wasn’t a fluke?
