AFC West Week 3 preview and predictions: Chargers get first home win of 2020

Kansas City Chiefs at Baltimore Ravens (MNF)

In what could be a preview of the AFC title game this season, the Kansas City Chiefs will go on the road to take on the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. The Ravens have dominated their opponents through the first two weeks of the season, and while the Chiefs looked great in Week 1, it took a 58-yard field goal from Harrison Butker to win in Week 2.

On Monday night, the Ravens will have the advantage of playing at home, even if there will be no fans in attendance. The Chiefs are once again one of the marquee teams in the NFL, but they struggled a bit last week, and that kind of effort is not going to fly against a team as talented as Baltimore.

I like the Chiefs to lose this one, and with the loss to the Ravens, the Chiefs actually fall into second place in the AFC West, with the Raiders taking over first with their 3-0 record. Kansas City showed some flaws in their win against the Chargers, and I like Baltimore to do enough at home to come away with a narrow victory.

Prediction: Ravens 30, Chiefs 28
