The Baltimore Ravens (1-2) visit the Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) Sunday afternoon. The loser will have three losses before the end of September. Lets put that in perspective. Baltimore has won 96 games and had to endure just one season - 8-9 in 2021 under .500. Kansas City has averaged over 11 wins per season over the last ten (113 wins) and has never lost more than six games in a season over the last ten years, and they only lost six twice (2017, 2023). The loser by no means is out of the playoff picture but they will have work to do without question.
The Ravens have to be frustrated by their losses. If Lamar Jackson doesn’t have the ball taken out of his hands thanks to some odd play calling late in the game in Buffalo and if Derrick Henry doesn’t continue his recent streak of fumbles in the game against Detroit, maybe Baltimore is 3-0. But they are not 3-0. They are 1-2. A route of Cleveland is all that keeps them from being among the winless through three weeks.
The Chiefs have enjoyed life atop the mountain for it seems like an eternity. Is the ride over? Like the Ravens, Kansas City’s losses are against quality operations (LA Chargers and Philadelphia) but also like the Ravens, KC’s win is against one of the bottom-feeders in the league, the New York Giants.
The loser of this game heads into October with three losses and without a quality win.
We know these teams and players. Lets dive into the matchup and find a sweat or two.

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper): Baltimore Ravens -2½ (-112)
The Chiefs lack the playmakers and physical running game to expose the weaknesses in the Ravens’ defense that were on display Monday night. On the other side of the ball, the full-strength Ravens’ offense can push the pace and truly test what is proving to be a middle of the pack unit with the KC defense.
