- Analysis
- The Baltimore Ravens are set to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round on Sunday at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. The Ravens concluded the regular season with a 12-5 record, securing the AFC North title for the second consecutive year. They advanced to the Divisional Round after a 28-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round. The Bills finished the regular season at 13-4, clinching the AFC East title. They progressed by defeating the Denver Broncos 31-7 in the Wild Card round, with quarterback Josh Allen contributing 272 passing yards and two touchdowns. These teams previously met in Week 4, where the Ravens secured a 35-10 victory at M&T Bank Stadium. In that matchup, running back Derrick Henry delivered a standout performance with 199 rushing yards, including an 87-yard touchdown run on the Ravens' first offensive snap. Both teams feature dynamic quarterbacks in Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, who are among the leading contenders for the NFL MVP award this season. Jackson amassed 4,172 passing yards with 41 touchdowns and added 1,206 rushing yards, while Allen recorded 3,731 passing yards with 28 touchdowns and 706 rushing yards. Their performances will significantly influence the game's outcome. Another East game where we have to take a look at the weather conditions. The forecast in Orchard Park predicts flurries with temperatures around 15°F. These conditions could affect gameplay, particularly for the Ravens, who are less accustomed to severe cold. Ball security and handling will be crucial factors under these circumstances. You can make a case for either side here today, but for me the x-factor has to be Henry and his ability to take over games. The Bills don't have an equal to Henry. So expect the Bills to use Allen much more in his own run ablity. Despite the conditions, I'm looking for a high scoring game. Play the OVER.
