Ravens eke out a close win and go to their fourth AFC Championship:

This game is going to come down to the wire and in all likely hood whoever has the ball last. These offenses are outstanding and it should end up being a high-scoring affair between two legitimate Super Bowl teams.

These two teams are evenly matched across the board. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have been top-10 quarterbacks in 2020 with tons of stud skill position players to complement them. Neither team has any problem putting up points in bunches, so I expect this to be a bit of a shootout.

The difference in this game comes defensively, where Baltimore has the advantage. The Bills have a handful of studs littered throughout its defense, but the Ravens is a more complete unit overall and will be the better of the two on Saturday. If they step up, Baltimore should feel good about its chances to win.

Call it the homer in me, but I think the Baltimore Ravens get by on the skin on their teeth in upstate New York. Baltimore’s defense is better than the Buffalo Bills and I think we see the Ravens defense get a couple of crucial stops. I have Baltimore advancing, but I am not confident about it.

Final score: 30-27 Ravens
