Two legitimate Super Bowl contenders meet in the AFC Divisional Playoffs on Sunday night as the Baltimore Ravens (13-5, 6-3 away) visit the Buffalo Bills (14-4, 9-0 home) at 6:30 pm ET at Highmark Stadium for the right to face the two-time defending-champion Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game next weekend. After the Ravens/Bills odds opened with Buffalo as a slight 1.5-point favorite, the line almost immediately flipped, making Baltimore a slight one-point road favorite, which is where the line still stands as of Sunday afternoon.

Both teams are in good shape, health-wise. The Ravens vs Bills injury reports list just two players on the Baltimore side – Zay Flowers (doubtful, knee) and Deonte Harty (questionable, knee) – while Ray Davis (questionable, concussion) is the only player listed on the Buffalo injury report.

The Ravens enter the Divisional Playoffs as +450 third-favorites in the Super Bowl 59 odds. Buffalo is the next team on the board at +450. Baltimore dominated Buffalo (35-10) when the teams met in Maryland back in Week 4.

Baltimore vs Buffalo Betting Trends

While the Bills are a perfect 9-0 at home straight-up this season, including last week’s 31-7 domination of Denver, that record drops to 6-3 against the spread. Buffalo failed to cover in its wins over Arizona (34-28 as 6.5-point favorites in Week 1), Miami (30-27 as six-point favorites in Week 9), and New England (24-21 as 14-point favorites in Week 14).

Encouragingly for Buffalo fans, last week’s win over the Broncos was one of Buffalo’s best defensive performances of the season. The Bills held Sean Payton’s team to just 224 yards of total offense, 145 through the air and 79 on the ground. They managed to hold Denver scoreless on its final seven possessions (including four punts) despite not forcing a single turnover and Denver taking just three penalties.

The Ravens are 6-3 straight-up on the road and have an identical road ATS record. Baltimore covered the spread in all six of their road victories and failed to cover in each of their three road setbacks. Baltimore won its last three road games during the regular season, taking down the Chargers (30-23), Giants (35-14), and Texans (31-2) in a trio of excellent road performances.

Ravens vs Bills Expert Pick & Best Bet

I have been on the Bills ever since the line swung to make them home underdogs. There are plenty of reasons to get behind the Ravens, and I don’t fault my colleague for including a couple Baltimore players in his Ravens vs Bills same-game parlay, but the Buffalo defense is undoubtedly going to do a better job of stopping the run than it did in Week 4, when the Ravens put up 271 rushing yards during a 35-10 home victory.

With Zay Flowers either out or slowed, the Bills are going to be able to devote more resources to Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson’s legs. The Buffalo D is also healthier now than it was during the vast majority of the regular season.

BAL vs BUF pick: Bills moneyline (+100)

The Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are set to face off in a highly anticipated matchup that has football fans buzzing. Both teams have had successful seasons so far, with the Ravens boasting a 10-3 record and the Bills sitting at 9-4. This game has significant playoff implications for both teams, making it a must-watch for fans of the NFL.

When it comes to picking a winner in this game, it’s a tough call. The Ravens have been on a hot streak lately, winning their last nine games in a row. Led by quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Ravens have one of the most dynamic offenses in the league. Jackson has been a dual-threat quarterback, able to beat teams with his arm and his legs. The Ravens also have a strong defense, led by players like Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey.

On the other side, the Bills have been playing well too. Quarterback Josh Allen has been having a breakout season, throwing for over 3,000 yards and 22 touchdowns. The Bills also have a solid defense, anchored by players like Tre’Davious White and Tremaine Edmunds.

In terms of odds, the Ravens are currently favored to win this game by 6.5 points. The over/under for total points scored is set at 44.5. This suggests that oddsmakers believe this will be a relatively low-scoring game.

As for the best bets in this matchup, it’s always a good idea to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each team. The Ravens have a potent offense that can put up points in a hurry, so betting on them to cover the spread might be a good option. On the other hand, the Bills have a solid defense that could keep the game close, so betting on the under might also be a smart play.

Ultimately, this game is shaping up to be a close and competitive matchup between two talented teams. Both the Ravens and Bills have their strengths and weaknesses, making it difficult to predict the outcome with certainty. However, one thing is for sure – this game is sure to be an exciting one for football fans everywhere.
