- Analysis
- The Ravens are coming into this game with a 12-5 record this season and they are coming off of a win in the last round. They beat the Steelers 28-14 at home in the Wild Card Round, but the Ravens jumped out early 21-0 and never looked back in a dominant performance. They have won their last 5 straight games and their defense has been great in those, allowing 17 points or less in all 5 games, and their defense has been much better in the 2nd half of the season compared to the 1st half. They are going up against a Bills team that is 13-4 this season and they are coming off of a dominant win at home against the Broncos in the last round. They won 31-7 and they have been dominant at home all season with a perfect record there, but they have struggled to stop the run all season and that will be a big factor in this game. Derrick Henry has been one of the better running backs in the league this season, coming off of a game which he rushed for 186 yards, and he also ran all over this defense back in week 4. The Ravens beat the Bills at home 35-10 and Derrick Henry rushed for 199 yards in that game. The Bills have been better at stopping the run in their recent games, but they really have not been challenged by a good run game since facing the Lions a few weeks ago, and the Lions were not able to run the ball in that game since they were always playing from behind right from the start. There is also going to be some cold weather in Buffalo and that is going to make it that much harder to tackle Derrick Henry in this game. Between Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson's ability to beat defenses with his arm and legs, there will be too much for this Bills defense to handle. The Ravens are going to win this game.
