The Wildcat returns for his 27th season in The Post.

Including the 1997-2022 seasons in the Bettor’s Guide, Cat’s record in print stands at 694-604-4.

Compelled to sustain our profound respect for Kansas City’s relative health and well-balanced roster, its positional strengths and positive recent experiences against any of the remaining.

We can’t disguise our delight about the fact we’re actually getting points.

I respect the Ravens and their supporters.

Baltimore has displayed a measure of marked improvement, and has essentially pulled itself even — or near even — with the Kansas City roster.

But we must rank Patrick Mahomes’ crew as first among equals.

The Detroit squad remains ahead of the postseason curve.

Both teams ended the regular season 12-5.

The Lions’ defense is likely not up to stopping Brock Purdy and Co., even if Deebo Samuel isn’t fully healthy.

The game should be well worth watching.

Last week: 2-0. Chiefs (W), Lions (W).
Season: 15-24-1.
