While this matchup features two of the league's most explosive offenses, I'm eyeing the under 46.5 for Thursday night, primarily because of the formidable defenses that will be on display. Elite defensive units—Ravens and Chiefs—both excelled last season, making them serious contenders to impact game results. The key lies in how these defenses, particularly known for their ability to take away scores, can shut down opposing offenses while capitalizing on inexperience in the rival's line.
The Ravens led the NFL in sacks and takeaways last season, and their secondary boasts elite talent like Kyle Hamilton. His versatility and cover skills, together with Marlon Humphrey's capabilities, could force Mahomes to wait longer to make plays, leading to potential mistakes. This strategy highlights how defensive prowess could keep the game low-scoring, making the under a smart option for betting on this matchup.
