The Buffalo Bills head into this matchup as a -1 point favorite but the odds remain tight, implying what is set to be a much-awaited competitive contest. The Over/Under is pegged at 51.5 which showcases anticipation of a high-scoring game that matches the tendencies of the teams’ offense in their latest games.
Lamar Jackson QB vs. Josh Allen QB
Lamar Jackson has been a revelation for the Ravens this ongoing season as he has given strong performances. Compiled over 17 games, Jackson has a total of 4,172 passing yards with a total completion percentage at 66.7 and a whopping 41 touchdowns while only throwing four interceptions. His dual-threat trait has been a frustrating issue for defenders and also explains his exceptional passer rating of 119.6, which is among the best in the league. Jackson’s play-extending ability along with arm strength will be an asset against Buffalo’s defense.
On the other hand, Josh Allen of the Bills has had a good season albeit with slightly more pragmatic numbers. He completed 63.6% of his passes, throwing for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns; this indicates his dependability while in the pocket. With a 101.4 passer rating, Allen is still a strong contender. It will be a difficult task for him to take on a strong Ravens’ defense which has been good at neutralizing high scoring teams in closely contested games.
Ground and Air Assault: Ravens’ Strategy
Derrick Henry’s rushing ability for the Ravens has been impressive this season, with the player collecting 1,921 rushing yards and achieving 16 touchdowns. He runs people over and converts important yards and this can come in handy, most importantly during the latter half of the match when the contacts are stiff. Rashod Bateman has most likely not gained a lot of yards, but he has been an important red zone target, amassing 9 touchdowns through the season. The last two games against Pittsburgh and Cleveland showcased the Ravens in great form on both the offense and defense which definitely sets a benchmark for this playoff encounter.
Bills’ Offensive Firepower
With rushing yards worth 1,009 alongside 16 rushing touchdowns to his name, James Cook has indeed proved to be a valuable addition for the Bills. Khalil Shakir, whilst not as dominant as Cook compliments the team with a solid 821 yards and in-game play extensions. The way Buffalo dismantled Denver was a testament to the team’s remarkable offensive game play and it will be extremely intriguing to see how the team performs against the Ravens moving forward.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills Betting Prediction
Due to how tight this contest is, the betting lines appear to be in order. The Ravens do however have the backup with their impressive seam rolling and with Lamar Jackson leading a bajillion offense, they do have a strong case. Personally, the Bills’ flawless home record for this particular season and slight edge with consistency in defense makes them likely to win. For the bettors, the safest bet appears to be the Ravens to cover the spread considering the recent format.
Prop bets to look at would include the amount of rushing yards the QBs get, specifically Lamar Jackson who would be a central figure in the attempt to dismantle Buffalo’s defense. For the Over/Under on this occasion it’s probably worth it to have bet on the Over with the end to end nature of the game that both will likely engage in.
Score Prediction: Bills 27, Ravens 24.
