Ravens vs. Chiefs odds: Baltimore nearly a touchdown favorite over KC

I'm sure it hasn't been that long but when was the last time the Kansas City Chiefs were 6-point 'dogs in their own house? That's the case against the Baltimore Ravens this week.

The NFL odds opened at 7 points but they're not sitting at 6 points for this game.

A little depressing the Chiefs are almos ta touchdown 'dog at Arrowhead but then again the Ravens have won by 23 and 14 points the last two times these teams played.

I've predicted a 31-17 game -- in favor of the Ravens -- so you know how I feel about this line. There's just no easy area in this game where you look and say the Chiefs are better there. KC's strength is the rushing attack and Baltimore is good there so that will be one of the key matchups here.

One of the big keys will be keeping the crowd in the game. You don't want the Ravens to jump out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and see half of Arrowhead empty before halftime hits.
