Ravens vs. Bills Odds
Game Preview
It seems that Lamar’s recovery is going well, and that we might see the two-time NFL MVP playing in Buffalo. The Ravens desperately need a win after two straight losses, scoring 23 points combined. Both losses were against the AFC North rivals, which makes them even more painful.
QB replacement Tyler Huntely, has plenty of problems, and one of them is poor protection. He was sacked 7 times in the past two games, and the Ravens’ O-line didn’t get used to protecting a static QB. One more reason for Lamar to come back ASAP.
The Bills’ offense is the best in the NFL through Week 7. It scores 32.8 points per game and is extremely well balanced. QB Josh Allen threw 9 TDs and ran for 8 more, while RB James Cook III added 6 rushing touchdowns with 627 yards on the ground.
On the other hand, the Bills’ defense is one of the weakest. It allows the third-most points per game, 28.5. While the run defense seems solid, the pass defense is arguably the worst in the league. Still, Allen and the boys cover up all that.
Ravens vs. Bills Predictions
If, but only if, Lamar plays here, we pick Over 53.5 points. His comeback will speed up the Ravens’ offense and bring points. On the other hand, we have the league’s best attack, which drops 30 ppg, so Over seems like a logical outcome.
- Free NFL Picks: Over 53.5 points
