Sunday’s marquee matchup features the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Kansas City Chiefs at 4:25 p.m. ET. This is a battle between two perennial Super Bowl contenders, who happen to be 1-2 right now. The Chiefs and Ravens both haven’t begun a season 1-3 since 2015. Patrick Mahomes is 5-1 against Lamar Jackson, and the Ravens haven’t beaten the Chiefs in Kansas City since 2012.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, the road team, the Ravens, are -2.5 while the Chiefs are +124 to pull off the upset. This game has an over/under of 48.5 points, with the over being -120. Here are my three favorite player props for today’s Ravens vs. Chiefs game.
Patrick Mahomes Over 239.5 Passing Yards (-113)
Not only have the Chiefs dominated the Ravens recently, but Mahomes himself has filled up the stat sheet each time against Baltimore. Mahomes has recorded at least 240 passing yards in all six matchups while throwing for 291-plus in the three games at home.
Even though Mahomes has only had one game this season with 240 passing yards, he is due to have a breakout performance. Yes, the Ravens are still a tough team, even at 1-2, but Mahomes has had his way against them in the past. He should be on his A-game, as he has been in the past against Jackson. You can get Mahomes to total more than 239.5 passing yards at -113 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Lamar Jackson Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-136)
Lamar Jackson is leading the NFL in passing touchdowns through three weeks with nine. Since the Ravens haven’t been able to get the rushing game going over the last two weeks, it has led to Jackson airing it out more.
Dating back to last season, Jackson has recorded two-plus passing touchdowns in nine straight games. Getting Jackson to hit this mark at -136 is an excellent play considering the streak he is on in this area.
Zay Flowers Over 4.5 Receptions (-150)
Through three weeks, Zay Flows is leading the Ravens in catches (16) and targets (23). Flowers caught seven passes in each of the first two games but only had two catches in their last game. But Jackson should make it a priority to get Flowers more involved, as it worked so well in the first two games of the season.
In Flowers’ two games against the Chiefs in his career, he has caught five and six balls. In the Chiefs’ lone home game this year, they allowed five catches to the Eagles’ top WR, A.J. Brown. Flowers’ over in receptions is -150 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
