All Odds taken Sept. 28th at DraftKings

Baltimore is currently a 3.5-point favorite in the Chiefs vs Ravens odds, and if we project the champs to be playing from behind, that should mean more volume for Mahomes’ favorite target.

Prop #1: Travis Kelce Over 69.5 Receiving Yards

In two career games versus Baltimore with Mahomes as his QB, Kelce has absolutely destroyed the Ravens. He’s caught 15 passes for 166 yards and Baltimore has struggled to defend tight ends in the early going.

The Ravens have surrendered 15 catches for 148 yards and two scores to tight ends in just two games, and Kelce has put up big numbers in both of his 2020 outings. Last week, he caught nine of his 14 targets for 90 yards and a score, and in Week 1 he hauled in all six of his targets.

Pick: Travis Kelce Over 69.5 receiving yards (-112), 1 unit

Prop #2: Lamar Jackson Over 62.5 Rushing Yards

We want to attack the Chiefs run defense, the problem is Baltimore operates a three-man backfield. Mark Ingram should get the bulk of the carries, but everyone knows the most dangerous rusher on the team is Jackson. The dual threat QB hasn’t had to use his legs often through two weeks, but a competitive matchup against the champs should change that.

Jackson averages 16 carries per contest in one-score games over his career and has a history of excelling in prime time. In five games under the lights, Jackson has rushed for 424 yards.

KC meanwhile, gave up 183 yards on the ground in Week 2 and have allowed the opposing QB to score a rushing touchdown in each of the first two weeks of the season.

Pick: Lamar Jackson Over 62.5 rushing yards (-112), 1 unit, Over 11.5 attempts (+114), 1 unit

Gus Edwards (BAL) +2200 +350
Demarcus Robinson (KC) +2800 +400
Sammy Watkins (KC) +2800 +400

Prop #3: Andrews Hits Paydirt First

Mark Andrews is a touchdown machine. He found the box twice in Week 1 and he’s set up for success again on Monday Night. The Chiefs have allowed opposing tight ends to catch 10-of-12 targets this year for 141 yards and a score. Andrews owns 26.6% of the Ravens air yards through two weeks, which is the fifth most by anyone at his position.

He had a team-high 14 red zone targets in 2019 and has three already in 2020. If Jackson drops back in close, the ball is going in Andrews’ direction.

As mentioned earlier, Ingram should get the most carries out of Baltimore’s backfield committee, but down near the goal line the Ravens seem to like rookie J.K Dobbins.

The 21-year-old has out-carried Ingram 2-0 inside the five-yard line, converting both rushes for touchdowns. Baltimore projects to spent a lot of time in KC territory and Dobbins offers the best value out of any Ravens running back to score.

Picks: Andrews to score 1st TD (+1050), 0.25 units, Dobbins to score anytime TD (+210), 1 unit
