Kansas City Chiefs (+3.5) over BALTIMORE RAVENS
Compelled to sustain our profound respect for Kansas City’s relative health and well-balanced roster, its positional strengths and positive recent experiences against any of the remaining.
We can’t disguise our delight about the fact we’re actually getting points.
I respect the Ravens and their supporters.
Baltimore has displayed a measure of marked improvement, and has essentially pulled itself even — or near even — with the Kansas City roster.
But we must rank Patrick Mahomes’ crew as first among equals.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (-7) over Detroit Lions
The Detroit squad remains ahead of the postseason curve.
Both teams ended the regular season 12-5.
The Lions’ defense is likely not up to stopping Brock Purdy and Co., even if Deebo Samuel isn’t fully healthy.
The game should be well worth watching.
Last week: 2-0. Chiefs (W), Lions (W).
Season: 15-24-1.
