The Ravens offence has been downright exciting this season; ranked second in the league in offence, first in points scored and second in third down conversions.
The Ravens jumped the Patriots for top spot in the AFC with their win this past Sunday. Baltimore owns the head to head tiebreaker over the Pats, but will have to focus their attention on another AFC East rival in the Buffalo Bills this weekend.
NFL Point Spread and Betting Analysis
The Bills have a great 9-3 win loss mark, but almost equally impressive is their 8-3-1 against the spread mark. The Ravens are 6-6 ATS this season.
These two teams met last season (September 9, 2018) and under the guidance of quarterback Joe Flacco, the Ravens dismantled the Bills 47-3.
Since the 2010 season the Ravens have won three of their last four games against the Bills. Buffalo’s lone win was on home field.
The home team in this series is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games.
The Bills are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games vs. the AFC. The Ravens are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win.
Baltimore Ravens
Make that eight straight wins for the Ravens thanks to the leg of All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker. Tucker booted a 49 yard field goal with no time on the clock giving the Ravens a 20-17 win over the 49ers.
This game with the Bills marks the clubs toughest test remaining in their schedule. After this game, the Ravens face the Jets, Browns, and Steelers who have combined for a 16-20 record. It’s all about the rush attack for the flock as they are the only team to average over 200 yards rushing per game (207.8) as a team. That has been the strength of the franchise this season with Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards leading the way. Of note, Jackson is only 63 rush yards away from breaking Michael Vick’s single season rushing record by a quarterback. He’ll face a Bills rush defence that is ranked 15 th in the NFL, allowing an average of 104.3 yards per game.
The Ravens offence has been downright exciting this season; ranked second in the league (420.8 yards per game) in offence, first in points scored (33.8) and second in third down conversions (48.9 percent).
Buffalo Bills
The Bills enter this game on a three game winning streak and an impressive 9-3 mark on the season, but maybe the biggest surprise entering week 14 is,they are only one game away from first place New England.
The Bills can actually clinch a playoff spot this week with a win over the Ravens and a combination of three other scenarios. If the entire puzzle works out, it would be the earliest the franchise clinched a post season berth since 1991. They currently have a 94% chance of making the playoffs according to the New York Times playoff simulator.
The heart of the Bills success has been the play of the team’s defence. Currently the Bills are ranked third in the NFL, allowing an average of 300.1 yards per game. They will be tested this weekend against the Ravens offensive attack. That is the number one storyline of the week.
