They are 0-1 in their home games, 1-1 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

No one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens haven't looked great in their games this season with their 1-2 record overall, but they finally got their first win of the season in Dallas last week and they will have some momentum for this one. They started the season 0-2, but they looked a lot better in their win last week as they had a big lead before letting the Cowboys come back. Meanwhile, the Bills have looked great in their games this season with their 3-0 record overall and they have been making the case to be one of the best teams in the NFL with their blow out wins. The Bills haven't really played any good teams though and this is going to be their first real test of the season on the road against the Ravens. The Ravens looked better on defense last week and their offense was rolling so they have the talent to get the win here as they will be looking to get back to .500. The Bills have looked great and their offense has looked unstoppable, but they are bound to come back down to Earth in this game against a better defense. The Ravens will also be able to move the ball on the ground since the Bills did struggle in their season opener against a run heavy Cardinals offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.
