Colin's Championship Picks: Ravens dethrone Chiefs at home, Lions cover vs. 49ers | NFL | THE HERD

now last week I said went three- one but I said blazing FES kind of regular season in first round of the playoffs and I said after that there's just not many games I didn't love the lines last week I thought they were mostly right um I didn't think Baltimore would beat Houston by over the spread I didn't think Green Bay would give San Francisco trouble I actually think both of these uh are very betable I think the Chiefs Ravens line is one of the best lines in the playoffs so far so here we go I

'm going to take the Ravens minus 3 and2 I would take them over Kansas City and there's certain factors here first of all the Ravens have the number one rushing offense won't be totally reliant on Lamar and the number one scoring defense they are the first team in league history to be number one in scoring defense lead in takeaways and sacks in the same season NFL history at home they averaged 35 a game in eight games and against many playoff level teams this is also key the Ravens defense only

allowed 49 snaps against the Texans fewest by any team in the round they are well rested the Chiefs played 78 snaps against the bills Kansas City's defense most snaps they had to play in the divisional round and Lamar Jackson this year believe it or not had a higher completion percentage than momes had a higher passer rating than momes more total touchdowns than moles because he had a better o line he had a better receiving core Baltimore is no Mirage Kansas City's offense due to the depleted ro

sters of the Dolphins defense and the bills defense is overvalued here the value is on Baltimore side I feel strongly about it 28-2 the Ravens win and are clearly the better team now we go to the Lions plus 72 at the ners I like Detroit not as much as Baltimore but I like the line here the hook 7 and A2 first of all this team is 22- seven in the last 29 games under Dan Campbell and they've played a lot of good teams it's the number one total offense under Ben Johnson 390 yards a game in fact ove

r the last two seasons no quarterback has had a better touchdown to interception ratio in the league than Jared Goff 59 to9 why weapons strong Run game brilliant OC top o line none of that is a mirage their defense though is getting to the quarterback multiple a sacks in eight straight games and the ners o line on the right side is is vulnerable Deo Samuel if he plays and I think he will I'm going to take the ners but I want you to hear this remember players always tell us there's the pre-season

intensity the regular season intensity and then playoff intensity Brock P's not playing well his last three games 79 passer rating three TDS and four picks he is the least talented quarterback by a long shot and the ners roster again if dbo plays at home San Francisco is proven to be able to put up big numbers but I think the side is Detroit 34 to 27 or 28 I'm going to take Detroit to cover um I think Detroit also tends to be pretty good script did early staying in games Brock pretty trailing o

r in close games not the same quarterback so I think the Raven side is a very strong play The Lion side is not as strong a side but when they give you the hook take it 7 and A2 I'll take the Lions to lose but covered hi everybody it's me Uncle Colin subscribe here to get the latest from the herd including exclusive behind the scenes videos and more wherever you may be however you may be watching thanks again for making us part of your day
