The NFL expert analyst Colin Cowherd favors the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship clash against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lamar Jackson side has looked relentless in their pursuit of success, be it the playoffs or the regular season. The AFC No. 1 seed will be hosting the No. 3 ranked side, the Chiefs. Before the most-awaited game, Colin Cowherd has his reasons to justify the Ravens’ dominance.

According to Colin Cowherd, Lamar Jackson’s side has it in them to win the AFC championship after 11 years. He downplayed the Chiefs’ playoff resurgence and gave key pointers that can make the Ravens look invincible in the championship round.

Colin Cowherd addressed the factors that prove the Ravens’ dominance

In the latest edition of The Colin Cowherd Show, the 60-year-old picked the Ravens and listed his reasons. At first, he addressed the Ravens’ offense: “First of all, the Ravens have the number-one rushing offense.” He added, “won’t be totally reliant on Lamar.” Cowherd further acknowledged the Ravens’ defensive prowess next and stated, “They are the first team in league history to be number one in scoring defense, lead in takeaways and sacks in the same season.” Then he went on to predict the result: “28-20, the Ravens win.” But first, he shed light on the Ravens’ better defense and Lamar Jackson’s perfect stats.

Colin Cowherd appreciated the Ravens’ performance at home and pointed out the key factor: “At home, they averaged 35 a game in eight games and against many playoff-level teams.” He provided the Ravens’ defensive stats in the playoffs and compared them with the Chiefs: “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.”

He further compared Jackson and Mahomes stats this season and scrutinized the Chiefs’ winning run in the playoffs.
