Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills Odds

Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills Preview

• Date: January 16, 2021
• Time: 8:15 PM (Eastern Time)
• Place: Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, New York

Both teams have been playing very well lately – the Bills have won 7 straight games; the Ravens have one fewer. When it comes to their regular season performances, Buffalo finished in second place in the AFC, with 13-3. Baltimore ended in #5 with 11-5.

All the games the Bills lost in 2020 were against teams that score a lot of points – Tennessee Titans (491 pts), Kansas City Chiefs (473 pts), and Arizona Cardinals (410 pts).

This fact has to make their fans feel worried ahead of the Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills game. Why? Because the Ravens scored 468 points in the regular season.

Speaking of high scoring, the Bills are the team with the second-highest number of points scored in the league in the regular season, with a total of 501 points. Does this mean we’re going to witness a lot of points in the next game?

Our Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills prediction is that there’s going to be a lot of points on both ends, but probably not too much. In fact, we estimate the points total should be somewhere in the ballpark of 40.

Buffalo Bills Defense Blocks a Last-Second Hail Mary Pass by Rivers

Buffalo’s defense wasn’t their strongest point in 2020. However, they did a very good job in the game against the Colts. In literally last play of the game, when the score was 27-24 for the Bills, the quarterback of the Colts attempted a Hail Mary pass.

Phillip Rivers aimed for T.Y. Hilton, but the Bills defense did a very fine job preventing the pass to connect. Buffalo’s safety Micah Hyde batted the ball to the ground, thus practically bringing his team their first win in 25 years.

Although Hyde was the one to save the day for the Bills, the man who was most responsible for that win is no one other than their quarterback Josh Allen.

Josh Allen Leapfrogs Patrick Mahomes to Becoming #2 MVP Favorite

Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers remains the biggest favorite for the NFL MVP award. In fact, judging by the odds, it seems almost impossible for him not to win it. Still, if he messes up against the Rams in the Conference semifinal, the man who’s most likely to take his place is Josh Allen.

With the odds of +1100, Allen is the #2 favorite for the title. That wasn’t the case only a few weeks ago, when Kansas City Chiefs QB was sitting in that place. However, after his brilliant performance in the wild card game, which saw him passing for two touchdowns, Josh Allen has overtaken Patrick Mahomes.   

Now that we’re on the subject of talented quarterbacks, the man who was one of the main MVP favorites before the start of the regular season has his opportunity to shine. The man in question, of course, is the Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Lamar Jackson Wins His First Playoff Game in 2021

Although he’s considered one of the most talented quarterbacks in the world, Lamar Jackson has only recently won his first playoff game. In fact, the game in question is the one his team played on January 10, 2021.

The Ravens beat the Titans in that game, with Jackson sprinting 48 yards for a touchdown, helping his team get to the AFC semifinal. That win has improved his postseason record to 1-2. Now, he has an opportunity to make it even by helping his team win against the Bills. Can they do it? Read our Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills prediction to find out!

FatCatBet’s Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills Prediction

The Bills are excellent in the offense, but their defense isn’t too great. When it comes to Baltimore, they seem equally good in both aspects of the game. With Lamar Jackson as their QB, they seem capable of scoring a couple of touchdowns against literally any team in the NFL.

Their defense, however, is what’s been improving a lot lately. In the last four games, they conceded only 43 points. Furthermore, in each of the previous four Ravens vs Bills matchups, Baltimore conceded under 20 points. In fact, three of those games saw them conceding fewer than 10 points per game.

This time, however, the Bills will probably score a bit more. Still, we at the FatCatBet do not think it’s going to be enough. Our Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills prediction is that the visiting team is going to qualify for the final of the AFC.
