There are only eight remaining teams left in the NFL as the divisional round draws closer.
Former NFL defensive tackle and current ESPN analyst Marcus Spears joined “The Rich Eisen Show” on Thursday to talk about which team remaining is the team to beat.
His answer might surprise you.
“I gotta go Baltimore…You put the Chiefs up there with an asterisk…The AFC Championship last year for Lamar (Jackson) is going to put him in position to do anything he has to do to win these games…Sometimes the do-over is the best thing to happen to you,” Spears said.

Although the Kansas City Chiefs are the defending champions and the Buffalo Bills are the home team against the Ravens this weekend, Spears seems to feel very strongly about his old team.
John Harbaugh’s team is coming off a two-touchdown win over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers in the wildcard round and is hungry for more.
Lamar Jackson has a great chance to win his third MVP of his career already after he had the best regular season of said career.
He threw a whopping 41 touchdowns and just four interceptions en route to helping the Ravens win the AFC North once again.
All-Pro running back Derrick Henry is proving that age is just a number, and Pro Bowl pass-catchers Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews are key options for Jackson too.
The Buffalo Bills are going to have to make sure they are ready to roll with this hotshot Ravens team coming to town on Sunday night.
