Conference Championship weekend is almost upon us and the predictions are flying in. For the AFC Championship Game between the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs, Fox Sports analyst Keyshawn Johnson is ready to make his prediction.
On Friday’s edition of Undisputed, Johnson predicted that Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens would knock off the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. He believes that the advantage for Jackson of playing in front of his home Baltimore crowd will result in a 31-27 win for the Ravens.
Johnson explained that Jackson has more advantages now than ever. Between the team’s defense, their weapons on offense and Jackson’s motivation to prove his doubters wrong, he’s confident that the Ravens will win the game.
“It’s Lamar’s time. He’s playing at home and has the crowd for him,” Johnson said.

2023 has been a phenomenal year for Lamar Jackson. He’s improved by leaps and bounds as a passer, posting some of his best numbers through the air, and done all of that while continuing to remain a serious rushing threat that keeps defenses from spreading into tighter pass coverage.
There’s no time like the present and if there was ever an opportunity for Jackson to silence the critics for good and bring his team to a Super Bowl, it’s this one.
Do you agree with Keyshawn’s prediction?
