Ravens vs. Bills Odds
Game Preview
Ravens had all three wins during the preseason and were pretty confident. After beating the Colts 24-16 at home, they went on the road to trash the Cowboys, 31-13, and the Commanders, 30-3.
Baltimore’s offense was terrific last year, and with the addition of a star veteran WR DeAndre Hopkins, it should be better. Meanwhile, the defense got depth too, with CB Jaire Alexander landing and E Mike Green, who should contribute right away.
The Bills improved their defense during the summer. DE Joey Bosa is the biggest addition, while CB Tre’Davious White is back; however, the focus should be on the draft class. DT TJ Sanders and DE Landon Jackson are projected to enhance the defense, which often obliterated Allen’s offensive contribution last season.
Ravens vs. Bills Head to Head
It’s 7-6 for the Ravens after 13 games so far. Buffalo won the Divisional Round last season, 27-25 at home.
Ravens vs. Bills Predictions
Even if the weather is nice and everything, the Over/Under limit is still too high – 51.5 points. Yes, these are likely the top two offensive units in the AFC, but it is the first meeting of the season, and as we’ve seen, both the Ravens and the Bills have improved their defensive units. That’s why Under 51.5 points is our final decision here.
