Jeff Zrebiec's scouting report: Ravens vs. Chiefs

RAVENS INTANGIBLES: An Achilles' heel for the Ravens the past two seasons has been their struggles on the road, particularly against subpar teams. The Ravens have lost six of their past 10 road games, including games last year against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans. However, the Ravens are 10 days removed from their last game and as healthy as they've been all season. They are 7-1 against the AFC West under John Harbaugh, and 2-0 against the Chiefs.

CHIEFS INTANGIBLES: The Chiefs rank fourth in total offense and 13th in total defense. However, turnovers and poor quarterback play have doomed them and prompted fans and media members to call for the jobs of general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo Crennel. Only two teams in NFL history had a worse turnover ratio than the minus-13 the Chiefs had. Kansas City has been outscored 77-44 at Arrowhead Stadium, a place that has traditionally been tough for opponents.

EDGE: RAVENS

PREDICTION: With their recent struggles on the road in mind, it would probably be foolish to expect anything but another tight game for the Ravens. But they seemingly have too much in their favor to slip up here. They are rested and healthy, and their offense is playing with a lot of confidence. The Chiefs, meanwhile, have been a mess. I don't expect a blowout, but I'm sure the Ravens would be just fine with a grind-it-out road victory and they should be able to get it to improve to 4-1 for the third straight year.

Ravens, 27-17.
