Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills Frequently Asked Questions

Buffalo were 8-0 at home last season and beat Baltimore 27-25 in the Divisional Round to send them out of the playoffs. The Bills are 4-2 in Week 1 in games Josh Allen starts while the Ravens are also 4-2 in games Lamar Jackson starts.

These two monster quarterbacks were the talk of the town last season in a two horse race for the MVP which Allen ended up winning. In his week 1 starts he has had mixed results but has hit 10 TD’s, 7 INT and 5 of his own Rushing TD’s.

Derrick Henry has averaged 59.8 YPG in his 6 week 1 starts and has blossomed since joining the Ravens. Many felt he should have got more ball in their playoffs loss so it will be interesting to see if the Ravens continue to go to the air or try to establish a heavier run game this time around.

Both defences have made improvements in the off-season, none bigger than the Bills picking up Joey Bosa which will put Jackson and his O-line on high alert. The pass attack has a lot of weapons but if Jackson is forced out of the pocket it could disrupt the flow.

Back the Bills to win at home, they have moved to underdog status after starting the week as the favourite. Take the Game Total Under, Lamar Jackson to go Under his passing total and Josh Allen to pick up a rushing TD.

The Bills have won 3 of the last 5 against Baltimore including the last 2 in Buffalo.
4 of the last 5 games between these two teams have gone Under the 50.5 total and both teams have upgraded their defence from last season.
Lamar Jackson threw for 254 yds in their most recent game, but they lost. Expectation is more running this time around.
Josh Allen has scored 5 Rushing touchdowns in his 6 Week 1 starts.

Baltimore Ravens Form

Baltimore finished with a 12-5 record last season, winning the AFC North for the second straight year. Derrick Henry led the team in rushing with a monster 1921 yards and 16 TD’s while Lamar Jackson contributed with 4172 yards passing and 41 TD’s, not to mention his own dynamic running ability.

But once again they failed in the finals, first beating Pittsburgh 28-14 in the Wild Card round before being knocked out in the Divisional Round by Buffalo 27-25. Lamar Jackson’s legacy will always have this negative around finals until he can prove himself a winner.

The Ravens finished 2024 with the league's best Rush Offence and Rush Defence. Their passing ranked 7th but on the defensive end 31st.

Buffalo Bills Form

The Bills were once again on the end of a Mahomes masterpiece as they lost the AFC Conference final last season to the Kansas City Chiefs 32-29.

It was the 5th straight year that Buffalo had made it through to the Divisional Round or AFC Championship game and 4th time they have lost to the Chiefs in that span. The Super Bowl window for Josh Allen and his teammates is closing fast and if they don’t take advantage it could be all over soon.

Buffalo were the 9th ranked Passing team in 2024 and the 12th best rushing team while their pass defence was strong in 9th, their rush D placed 24th.
