Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills Injury Odds: Betting Lines

Team Point Spread Moneyline Over/Under Team Total
Ravens +2½ -105 +120 50½ 24
Bills -2½ -115 -140 50½ 27

Baltimore Ravens

The good news out of Baltimore is that quarterback Lamar Jackson doesn’t show up on the injury report. After banging his thumb in Sunday’s win over the Tennessee Titans, Jackson wore a glove for the last part of the game. His insistence he is alright is settled by his absence from the list. ESPN touches on his next challenge: Snow!

Three players do appear on the injury list though, with two of them (more or less) new to report this week. That’s CB Marcus Peters who didn’t practice on Tuesday due to a back injury. Also OLB Matt Judon who missed practice with the dreaded “illness” description, that’s impossible to gauge if the player will be active.

The other listing, RT D.J. Fluker didn’t start last Sunday but did play nearly half the snaps after taking over for Tyre Phillips. Normally, they had been starting Fluker and rotating in Phillips, but it will remain to be seen if Fluker can play on Sunday. (We’d guess he will.)

The Ravens also designated CB Davontae Harris to return from the injured reserve. Expect him to be activated before the game. Also, to no shock, the team placed OG Ben Bredeson on injured reserve due to the fact that his “bum” knee freed up a roster spot.

Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills’ largest NFL injury loss from last Saturday’s win over the Indianapolis Colts doesn’t even show up on the report. That’s because RB Zack Moss’ high-ankle sprain suffered early in the fourth quarter of the game was bad enough to have him carted off the field and onto the injured reserve. His season is effectively done, not barring a miracle comeback and a Bills’ Super Bowl appearance.

A half-dozen other players do appear on the report, most prominently two of the wide receivers who were listed questionable coming into last week’s Wild-Card game. Cole Beasley and Stefon Diggs return with the same injuries they listed last week, respectively, a knee and an oblique. Beasley caught attention last game for not looking to be in 100% of his normal shape.

Otherwise, the Bills have four defenders presumably injured from last week who now appear on the report. MLB Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring), DT Ed Oliver (ankle), DT Justin Zimmer (groin), and backup DE Darryl Johnson (knee). Johnson didn’t participate in Tuesday’s practice, while the other three were limited.
