The playoffs for the first time ever. They've met five times in the regular season with the Chiefs winning the first three between 1999 and 2004 and the Ravens winning the last two. The Ravens are the third-best team in my Unbiased Power Rankings with a 475.8 rating. The Chiefs, on the other hand, are only 12th with a 362.5 rating. The Chiefs are one of only two playoff teams (Seahawks) to be ranked lower in my rankings than non-playoff teams. Not a good sign.

The last meeting between these two teams was the 2009 opener when the Ravens blew open a close game with a 21-point fourth quarter. Of course, the Chiefs had to start Brodie Croyle in that game due to Matt Cassel's sprained knee suffered in the preseason so that game has little bearing on this meeting.
What will be the result this time around? Let's dive in.
Ravens Analysis
Only the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons have been more impressive - according to the Unbiased Rankings - this season than the Ravens. They've beaten four teams with winning records, tied for third-best among playoff teams and are on a four-game winning streak. They have only one bad loss, in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and posted a 5-3 road record this season.
