Potential Barnburner Awaits Between AFC Powers
Why the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are not playing on national television is beyond us. This game has all the makings of a can’t-miss matchup. We have two exciting elite quarterbacks leading explosive offenses going against vulnerable defenses.
The NFL betting odds should have this one as a high-scoring game as the over of 51 points is the highest this week. But who’s got the edge in this potential firefight?
Let’s check the latest NFL odds, stats, injury reports, and NFL lines for Bills vs Ravens. We’ve plenty of Vegas NFL odds for you to consider.
Bills Hungry to Get Back on Track
The Buffalo Bills got upset by the Miami Dolphins in a game that they should have won. As the saying goes, the Bills did not lose. They simply ran out of time. We saw how charged the Bills were when their season ended because of the NFL’s overtime rules. Hint: they dropped 72 points in their first two weeks against the defending Super Bowl champions and last season’s No. 1 AFC seed.
Against Miami, the Bills still put up 497 yards of total offense. However, the team committed one costly turnover and one too many penalties. Josh Allen threw for 400 yards, though he fumbled the ball thrice. The defense still held the Dolphins to 212 total yards.
Buffalo will get right back to it. Allen and the offense will carve up the Ravens’ porous defense while Buffalo’s own, which is third in the NFL in sacks, will get at Jackson all afternoon. The Bills are dealing with a ton of injuries but should still be worth betting online, especially with the total.
Will Jackson Ever Slow Down?
The Baltimore Ravens see the Bills’ unstoppable offense and raise them their own juggernaut at quarterback. Jackson has been unconscious this season and should be the leading candidate to win Offensive Player of the Year. But it’s also an indictment on the Ravens as a team that Jackson has to put up ridiculous stats every game for them to get by.

Baltimore has allowed the most yards in the NFL at 458 per game, with 353 of that coming via the air. This team was supposed to have the best secondary. But while Baltimore leads the league in interceptions and turnovers forced, it’s helpless in stopping teams from actually moving the ball.
The defense is producing the seventh-lowest pressure rate (19 percent) in the NFL along with the second-most missed tackles (28). That won’t cut it against an elite offense like Buffalo. If the Dolphins can score at will against Baltimore, it behooves us to think Buffalo will do the same, hence why the sportsbook favors the visitors.

Bills vs Ravens Picks and Prediction
At the rate these teams are scoring, 51 points does not seem like a lot. The Bills have arguably the best offense in the NFL and Baltimore’s defense could be the worst. On top of that, we can expect Jackson to still put up stats. He can thank the improved offensive line for his increased production.
The line will be challenged by the Bills’ potent pass rush. But on the back end, Buffalo is hurting. They had to sign Xavier Rhodes to patch their battered secondary. This would put more pressure on the offense to score, which they will gladly meet. The Bills are still our top team in the NFL for a reason.
