Gotta cheer for my Ravens but it's gonna be tough at Buffalo. Ravens offense should be fine, they need the defense to really show up.

I think the game is going to be decided by the Ravens OLine vs the Bills DLine.

If the Bills can get in Henry's face early in plays it'll go a really long way to limiting what the Baltimore offense can do. But if Henry is going well, it's going to be a long day for the Bills D.

Please shut down Henry this time or at the very least don't let him get 200 damn yards. Thank you.

This is going to be a fun one Ravens fans. Can't wait to watch it with you all next week.

Buffalo's run D concerns me, as does Baltimore's pass D.

I'm taking the over.

 

[Terry Yake]

this game could go a million different ways

 

[BKarchitect]

I just hope it is the classic we all want it to be. Give me something similar to Chiefs-Bills 2022 AFC Divisional round. Allen vs Lamar with 2 minutes left and everything on the line.

 

[Unholy Diver]

I think the Ravens by 3-7 pts, something like 35-31 or 38-35

 

[Reality Check]

This has to be the marquee game on Sunday.

 

[Halladay]

The line opened as Bills -1 and is staying there as of now. Think should be one of the better divisional matchups in the past 15 years or so. I'm leaning Baltimore with Henry ad the deciding factor. Though idk.

The best thing about this game is going to be when every analyst correctly states that Baltimore has the better running back, wide receivers, tight ends and defense and never mentions that Lamar being on the road is the entire f***ing reason the MVP vote is f***ed.

Every aspect of Baltimore is better than Buffalo except one. And no one wants to admit that with any kind of nfl honors…but they’ll be sure to tell you about it this week.

Henry is going to run all over Buffalo. They have literally one chance and it’s the guy who is hosting the game despite his leading TD reception receiver this year being Mack Hollins.

 

[Reality Check]

This is also why Pittsburgh falling apart and out of the AFC North division hurts Buffalo. This could have been Kansas City/Baltimore.

Super Heavyweight battle right here

 

[Karterthadon]

If Zay Flowers comes back, Baltimore simply have too much. In a sense, they're the Lions with a more dynamic QB, elite weapons all over the place. I don't think they can be shut down, it becomes a question of can you keep up with them offensively.

 

[BB88]

I’d like to see the Bills win but it’s tough to see how they could do it

Bills 35 Ravens 31

Exactly

Buffalo D is athletic but not the most physical and now they have to slow down the most physical running back in the world. They was unable week 4 when Baltimore had a pretty fress new oline with no chemistry resulitng in a lot of penalty. Will be a pretty huge challenge, so if they can handle Henry or put all their tool just to contain him( that will open up a lot of 1v1 matchup in favor of ravens. If they fail to xontain Henry, could become a pretty fast a long day for bills D like your said

We have some damn good corners so I'm not as afraid of Flowers/Bateman with Douglas /Benford/Johnson covering them. It's the Andrews/Likely duo that worries the hell out of me , as far as their recieving threats go. We've been gashed by TE our fair share over the years...

Yup. With Jackson and Henry drawing defenses inward the mid-range stuff between the hashes is a prime target for the Ravens in this one IMO.

Likely, Andrews and you can add justice Hill as RB ( he did a lot of damage on 1st meeting in the passing game.

Like you said, Buffalo are pretty good defensively against pass... but the biggest challenge will be for Bills front 7. Can they handle rush game from a team who can rush 200-300 vgs no problem? Can they win the physical battle because it will be the key of this game. If they can, ravens play-action will make damage too. It's also why i think it's probably a worst matchup for Bills than chiefs because honestly i not sure if they can win that physical battle in D and they need to get it done.
