Arguably the matchup of the weekend closes division round NFL betting out in Orchard Park where Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills will welcome in Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens with the intent of avenging an earlier season loss in front of the BillsMafia. Each team cruised to home wins and ATS covers in the wild-card round. Sean McDermott’s squad cruised to the 31-7 triumph against the overmatched Denver Broncos, while John Harbaugh’s troops also held serve at home taking a second straight from the Pittsburgh Steelers by doubling them up 28-14.

Caesars Sportsbook opened the NFL odds for this division round throw down up with the Bills installed 1-point favorites and the total lined 51.5. The number to beat has since moved in the direction of visiting Baltimore by way of the Ravens being aligned with around 60% of the bets and money. The totals market is yet to move off the opener regardless of the under supported with 60+ percent of the written tickets and 50+ percent of the booked handle.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills NFL Same Game Parlay:

Winners of five straight both SU and ATS, the Baltimore Ravens have positioned themselves as one of the AFC’s top threats after scoring a dominant victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday night. John Harbaugh’s team excelled on both sides of the ball, racking up 464 total yards, 29 first downs, and converting an impressive 67 percent of third down tries. Lamar Jackson delivered a dynamic performance, while Derrick Henry powered the ground game with 186 rushing yards and 7.2 yard per carry average.

The Ravens’ defense suffocated Pittsburgh last week, allowing only 2.6 yards per carry, recording four sacks, and limiting the Steelers to just 11 first downs without a red-zone penetration made. Baltimore’s stop unit has been a force, yielding 11 points per game over its last five contests since falling 24-19 at home to the Eagles. The team has proven to be reliable on the road as well, going 6-3 SU and ATS, covering all six wins while failing to do so in its three defeats. The over hit in seven of those nine games, with an average of 52.6 total points scored. However, Buffalo’s defense, healthier now than in the previous meeting, should pose a stiffer test this time around.

The playoff demons that have plagued the Buffalo Bills as a franchise since their unforgettable Super Bowl losses seemed to reappear briefly at Highmark Stadium in the wild-card joust with the Broncos when Denver scored a touchdown on their opening possession in just five plays. However, the Bills quickly regained control behind Josh Allen, unleashing a 31 point surge to claim a dominant 24 point victory and easily cover the 7.5-point closing NFL spread. Buffalo emerged as the biggest liability for BetMGM Sportsbook during Wild Card Weekend. That won’t be the case in the divisional round.

The Bills have been a powerhouse at home, compiling an unblemished 8-0 SU mark backed by a 5-3 ATS record, including handing Kansas City its only outright loss of the season when at full strength. High-scoring affairs have been commonplace within Highmark, with the over paying out six times. However, Buffalo’s playoff journey has repeatedly stalled at this stage under McDermott, with divisional-round exits occurring each of the last three seasons. The Bengals and Chiefs represent the two most recent opponents to smash the hopes and dreams of the BillsMafia.

What a tough cap this one is! As one-sided the earlier season meeting was between these teams, I can’t help but think the second go-round will be much more competitive. This matchup boasts two of the best quarterbacks in the league with each fully capable of putting their respective team on their shoulders and lead it to victory. Already invested on both teams in the futures odds market, I personally will be looking to bet this game live and take the points with whichever side goes down early, or even better, by double digits. Ultimately, I envision the victor of this match coming down to the team that last holds possession of the pigskin be it in regulation or overtime.

With that, I fully expect both offenses to put on shows and don’t envision much of many punts or field goals to be attempted. NFL bettors deserve to see Lamar and Josh square off to the death! Hopefully their OCs put them in the best position to do so and this rematch lives up to my expectations to make up for the one-sided affairs my bankroll is banking on taking place earlier. Even if snow ends up being in the forecast, provided the wind isn’t out of control, I’m all-in on points denting the scoreboard with the teams exchanging body blows throughout.
