They were 8-0 in their home games, 5-4 in their road games, and they were also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Bills listed as a 1 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bills have looked great in their games this season with their 13-4 record overall which has them leading the AFC East with the number 2 seed in the AFC. They are coming off a 31-7 win over the Broncos and that was a game that was close at halftime, but the Bills came out in the 2nd half and really took control of that game. Their defense looked really good as the Broncos struggled to move the ball and they have had a really good run game with James Cook all season. Meanwhile, the Ravens have looked really good in their games this season with their 12-5 record overall which leads the AFC North with the number 3 seed in the AFC. They also looked really good in their Wild Card game as they beat the Steelers 28-14 and the game was never close. The Ravens jumped out to a big double digit lead before the Steelers could even get anything going on offense. The Ravens have had one of the best offenses in the NFL all season and a lot of that has been how good Lamar Jackson has been, but the addition of Derrick Henry has also made this offense unstoppable at times. Their defense has also looked a lot better over the last month as they figured out whatever problems they were dealing with there, but the home advantage is going to play a big factor in this game. A majority of the Ravens 5 losses this season came on the road and with the playoff win over the Broncos last week, the Bills are now 9-0 in their home games this season. The Ravens were also the Bills first loss of the season back in week 4, and the Ravens embarrassed the Bills at home so that loss is definitely on their minds and the Bills will be looking to get their revenge in the playoffs now. The Bills are also a lot better than they were in that first meeting as this team has grown so look for the Bills to get their revenge with the home advantage on their side now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bills to cover the spread in this game.
