DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a>.<\/p>\nHere are Marc\u2019s picks:<\/strong><\/p>\nRavens over Kansas City: <\/strong>It\u2019s always hard for me to pick against Patrick Mahomes, especially when he\u2019s an underdog. But rolling with Kansas City against a Bills team that is ultimately reliant on the great, but erratic Josh Allen, is a different beast than the Ravens. It sure feels like Super Bowl or bust for Lamar Jackson, and getting past Mahomes would further solidify his legacy.<\/p>\nLions over 49ers: <\/strong>I lean toward the 49ers, but I\u2019ve long believed the Lions were always the biggest threat to San Francisco. Deebo Samuel\u2019s return could solve all of the Niners problems last week, but there\u2019s no denying that the Packers gave them a scare. Jared Goff is flawed, and has long struggled in big games against the Niners, but that\u2019s largely because of the team\u2019s pass rush. The 49ers defense has been good, but the pass rush has not been as dominant as previous iterations of Shanahan\u2019s squads. Had the odds been more even, I would have rolled with the 49ers, but +260 is just too favorable for Detroit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Here are the two games to pick (times in Pacific):<\/strong><\/p>\nKansas City @ Baltimore, 12:00 PM<\/p>\n
Lions @ 49ers, 3:30 PM <\/p>\n
