Ravens vs Bills AFC Division Round Predictions & Picks (1/19)

The Ravens enter the AFC Division Round following an impressive 28-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wild Card Weekend. John Harbaugh’s team exploded with a 464-yard performance, led by Derrick Henry, who turned 26 carries into 186 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Quarterback Lamar Jackson even rushed for 81 yards on 15 carries while also connecting on a pair of TD passes.

The victory extended the Ravens’ win streak to five games — a stretch where they’ve outscored their opponents by an average of 21.2 points per game.

As for the Bills, they advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a 31-7 win against the Denver Broncos. Buffalo’s defense completely shut down Denver’s attack as Josh Allen handled things offensively, amassing 272 passing yards and two TDs while going 20-of-26 (76.9%) in the pocket.

The Bills are now 11-2 SU in their last 13 games, cementing them as one of the NFL’s hottest teams. It’s also worth noting that their most recent loss came when they rested the majority of their starters against the New England Patriots in Week 18.

Do the Bills have what it takes to reach their first AFC Championship Game since 2020? 

Another thing that the Bills have going for them is the home-field advantage. Not only are they 9-0 SU/6-3 ATS at Highmark Stadium this season, but the Bills also own a plus-17.4 average scoring margin — No. 1 in the NFL.

Having said that, the Ravens are a respectable 6-3 SU/ATS on the road ahead of the Division Round. Furthermore, Baltimore’s stellar play outside of M&T Bank Stadium has resulted in a plus-6.6 average scoring margin on the road — good for fourth-best.

Let’s also not forget that the Ravens picked up a 35-10 win over the Bills back in Week 4, improving Jackson’s regular-season record against Allen to 3-1. The dual-threat QBs have only met once in the playoffs though, ending in a 17-3 victory for Buffalo in the 2020 Division Round in a game that saw Jackson prematurely exit due to a concussion.

Knowing that Jackson is someone who doesn’t like leaving unfinished business, he’s going to do everything in his power to lead the Ravens to victory again.

Will the Ravens beat the Bills for the second time during the 2024-25 NFL season? 

In what could be a shootout, I’m predicting that the Ravens will win as the Over on the 51.5-point total is hit.

Although the Bills are fantastic on top of being perfect at home, I can’t ignore the Ravens’ current heater. They’ve blown out each of their last five opponents and aren’t showing signs of slowing down. Their confidence won’t go anywhere given that they already proved they could handle the Bills earlier this season in a 25-point victory.

The Bills won’t go down without a fight, but it won’t be enough to stop the Ravens.

As for why I’m predicting a high-scoring affair, the Over is 7-2 through the Ravens’ first nine road games this season. Additionally, seven of the Bills’ last 10 outings surpassed their projected totals. That’s without bringing up how the Over is 6-3 at Highmark Stadium.

Best Ravens vs Bills NFL Division Round Player Prop Bet

If you’re looking for the best no-brainer Ravens vs. Bills NFL player prop bet, you’ll want to take Derrick Henry o5.5 receiving yards (-120 on Bovada).

Even though Henry finished without a reception last game, I’m expecting him to hit the Over on Sunday night. For starters, the Over is 4-2 in the five-time Pro Bowl RB’s last six games as he averaged 1.5 receptions and 16.2 receiving yards per outing.

Secondly, Henry is going up against the Bills, who are allowing the most receiving yards on the second-most receptions to running backs this season. The veteran RB already proved he can handle Buffalo after turning three catches into 10 receiving yards in Week 4. With the stakes of this game being extremely high, look for Henry to hit the Over again.
