With only four teams left standing in the NFL playoffs, the stage is set for an epic weekend of football, with the Kansas City Chiefs traveling to M&T Bank Stadium to take on the red-hot Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers playing host to the visiting Detroit Lions at Levi’s Stadium in the Bay Area.
Even though both of these games will almost certainly draw a lot of viewers, with the winners of these playoff matchups going to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas to face off on February 11, the Chiefs trying to take down the Ravens might be the most anticipated of the two games.
The AFC Championship Game could be a passing of the torch moment, with the Chiefs reluctantly handing off the distinction as the best team in the league to the Ravens.
Obviously, the Chiefs won’t go down without a fight, as the team proved last weekend by getting the best of Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills once again.
Kansas City will be underdogs once again this weekend with the Ravens slightly favored (-3.5), and Chris Broussard of FOX Sports is not ruling out the possibility for a blowout in Baltimore, via “First Things First.”
“Mahomes has only been blown out four times in his career. … What is a blowout? Two touchdowns or more? I’m feeling like about two touchdowns,” he said.
Could the Chiefs get blown out?

Even though the Chiefs haven’t been the same dominant team of old this season, it’s a bold statement, to say the least, that Mahomes and company will get blown out in the playoffs against a reasonably inexperienced Ravens team.
Anything can happen in the postseason, so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility, but it’s tough to bet against the Chiefs, especially with Mahomes under center, so it’ll be interesting to see if Broussard’s prediction comes to fruition.
