i got the ravens at +7. They are probably the best defense Maholmes will see this year until playoff time and without Kareem Hunt I think that hurts the team overall. I like the Chargers -15 even though the number is big and scary and trying to take me off it. Also, I am considering Vikings but haven't made a play yet. Seattle is a sneaky team this year will probably just play the Ravens.
No, they are not best defense The Broncos defense is better and he beat them twice one in Mile high. Still, +7 is a good number. I don't think Chiefs will win by more than 7 pts unless Ravens give up the ball a lot. No way Chiefs score less than 30 though, so ask yourself if Ravens can put up 24+. They probably can.
My post meant they are the best defense that KC will see until the playoffs begin. If you think the Broncos defense is better overall I understand. I know that is like in four weeks until the playoffs but forgive me I looked up the stats and the Ravens hold up. The Ravens as an organization tend to, in a lot of situations, as well from a historical perspective. Regardless, this is a new look Ravens team on offense as well. Good luck tc i bet to win and i don't discredit the broncos at all. I am looking at YPG and other simple stuff that often gets overlooked. The Ravens aren't a team to get overlooked. There are always outliers or anomalies for any defense/offense especially in the NFL with it's high variance. I just think the Ravens have more to fight for at the moment and with less internal turmoil. https://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/total/position/defense
i personally think that KC will win by 3 or 4 but I don't underestimate Patrick at this point in time. Kansas City could steam roll them but by percentage and stats wise I think differently. Every QB has a rough outing here and there and if there is any time as ever the next 2 or 3 games would contain a slip up from the amazingly talented Patrick M. I am just hoping it is tomorrow...!
Use this bro when looking up stats like best offense and defense.

Here they give you a way more detailed look into the stats of all teams. For defense, they even adjust based on the strength of the opponent your defense faced. They break down every single play your defense makes and grades it. They also weigh the earlier games at the beginning of the season less and the more recent games from your defense more.
Some good reading if you want to learn more about their approach here:

It just paints a way more accurate picture into the statistics of each team. Ravens have a really good defense no question about it but they have been slightly less than the Broncos almost all season long.
Well maybe I was a little flippant but they did score 27 and 30 vs the Broncos. I'd put their total around the same place. No way they are held under 27 IMO. Every game the Chiefs score 30 they were a hair away from scoring 50. They are not only the best offense this season but probably since the 2007 Patriots. At Arrowhead, I give even the best defense little shot at keeping them below 27.
