Chiefs vs. Ravens weather forecast and betting lines
Here are AFC Championship Game spreads, totals and moneylines from our favorite betting sites:
- Location: M&T Stadium, Baltimore, Maryland
- Stadium Type: Outdoor
- Forecast: 46 degrees | Rain/snow: 45% | Wind: 12 mph
Playing in wintry conditions in both games, the Chiefs have put together some inspiring football in the playoffs after an up-and-down regular season. While they finally will see a game without frigid conditions, periods of rain and wind gusts are expected throughout the AFC Championship in Baltimore.
The spread and total points lines have not moved much, even with the forecast for nasty weather. The wet conditions may make both offenses rely on their ground games more heavily, which favors the Ravens because they have the more potent rushing attack. The Ravens rushed for 2,661 yards as a team in the regular season, while the Chiefs rushed for 1,784 yards.
While Patrick Mahomes is a good athlete and had 389 rushing yards in the regular season, Lamar Jackson may be the best-rushing quarterback in the NFL. Jackson had 821 rushing yards in the regular season. That gives Baltimore another advantage, but with how the Chiefs have played this postseason, they have found ways to win games even with conditions in their opponent's favor, making the AFC Championship an electric matchup.
