Lost in the memory of many gamblers is that the Ravens were 2019 AFC top seed. Baltimore’s playoff Pro Football betting loss to Tennessee was a shocker. However, it was not a portent of things to come. Baltimore steamrolled to a week one win over the Browns. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was in his 2019 NFL most valuable player form. Baltimore remains the top AFC challenger to the Chiefs. Houston was not in playoff form in a week one loss at Kansas City. To be exact the Texans were exposed as nowhere near ready for prime time.
