Betting Insights and Predictions
Sunday’s AFC Divisional clash features two MVP frontrunners as Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens visit Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park. Both quarterbacks are at the center of MVP buzz, but this matchup is more about the teams than a one-on-one rivalry.
Betting Breakdown:
Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens come in hot after dismantling the Steelers 28-14 in the Wild Card round. They racked up 299 rushing yards, with Derrick Henry exploding for 186 yards and two touchdowns. Henry’s power running, paired with Lamar Jackson’s dual-threat ability, has made Baltimore’s offense one of the league’s most dynamic. Baltimore is also seeking redemption after falling short in last season’s AFC title pursuit.
Buffalo Bills: The Bills crushed Denver 31-7 in their Wild Card game, showing off their defensive prowess and efficient offense. Josh Allen, a proven playoff performer, leads a team that has been knocking on the door of the Super Bowl for several seasons. However, Buffalo was humbled in a 35-10 loss to Baltimore earlier this season, where their defense couldn’t contain the Ravens’ rushing attack.
Key Matchups to Watch:
Ravens’ Rushing Attack vs. Bills’ Run Defense: With Henry and Jackson, Baltimore has the tools to control the game on the ground. Buffalo must find a way to avoid being gashed like they were in September.
Josh Allen’s Passing vs. Ravens’ Secondary: Allen will need to push the ball downfield effectively against a Baltimore defense that ranks in the top half of the league in takeaways.
Weather Conditions: Game-time temperatures are expected to be frigid, potentially affecting both teams’ game plans and favoring the team that can run the ball effectively.
Betting Trends:
The Ravens are 5-0 ATS in their last five games.
Buffalo has struggled in divisional playoff games, losing at this stage in three straight seasons.
The Ravens have won and covered in their last three matchups with Buffalo, including a dominant win earlier this season.
Prediction:
This game is set to be a heavyweight showdown, with both teams boasting strengths in different areas. Baltimore’s ground game, led by Derrick Henry, will keep the clock running and put pressure on Buffalo’s defense. Meanwhile, Josh Allen will look to counter with big plays in the air.
In the end, the Ravens’ ability to dominate on the ground and limit turnovers gives them the edge. Expect Baltimore to win a tight contest and cover the slim spread.
Final Score Prediction: Ravens 27, Bills 24
Best Bets:
Derrick Henry Anytime TD Scorer
Josh Allen Over 1.5 Passing TDs
