We’re set for an epic thriller on Monday Night Football. 2X MVP Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens head to Orchard Park, New York. Where the reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen and his Buffalo Bills await. Let’s take a look at the Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills Preview and Predictions.
Baltimore is coming off a 12-5 regular season record in 2024 where they won a playoff Wild Card Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the Divisional Round, they headed to Orchard Park to face these very Buffalo Bills. The scored a touchdown in the closing minutes, and Mark Andrews dropped a 2-point conversion pass that would have tied the game.
Buffalo went 13-4 in the regular season and won their Wild Card game over the Denver Broncos. They won that game against the Ravens and went on to the AFC Championship game after that win and took a trip to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. History would repeat itself for Buffalo once again, as for the fourth time in five seasons, the Chiefs eliminated them from the NFL playoffs.
Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills Preview and Predictions
Derrick Henry Over 84.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
These teams played twice last year, and Henry ran rampant over the team both times. In the Week 4 matchup Henry ran for 199 yards. He followed it up in the playoff game with another 84 rushing yards, a game after he ran for 186 yards against the Steelers. Now he comes into the season with fresh legs ready to rumble in a big game? Sign me up.
Buffalo Bills +1.5 (-110)
I’ve gone back and forth on this game, it’s one of the hardest games of the week to pick. But I think it’s too hard to pass up the Bills as favorites at home. You know the crowd will be into this game and loud. It’s hard to pick against Josh Allen and company, at least in the regular season.
