Betting breakdown

Two wins separate these two squads’ regular-season records, but oddsmakers have plenty of respect for what the Ravens have been able to accomplish after an underwhelming 6-5 start to the campaign. Baltimore finished the regular season with five consecutive wins before notching a road win over the Titans in last Sunday’s wild-card contest. John Harbaugh’s squad also finished the regular season with a 6-2 road mark straight up, plus the Ravens boast a 9.2-point net margin of victory on the road and net ATS+/- of 3.9 points. Notably, Buffalo counters with figures of 7.9 and +6.4 in those respective categories.

The game opened at 2.5 points in favor of Buffalo on Sunday evening, bumped up to 3.0 briefly Monday morning, and subsequently bounced between 1.5 and 2.5 points. Currently, the Bills are listed at . The injury outlook is excellent for both teams, making that a non-factor.

As of Tuesday afternoon, this game is one of three on the weekend with a total of at least 50 points. The significant upside of both offenses certainly supports the notion of that figure, with the Ravens averaging the seventh-most points per game this season and postseason (28.7), while the Bills racking up the second-most points per contest over the same period (31.1). And, while Baltimore did tie with the Rams for fewest points per game allowed (18.6), the Bills were notably more generous, allowing 23.5 points per contest.

Bills vs Ravens: Head to Head

Ravens vs. Bills matchup

As just alluded to, on paper, the Ravens offense appears to have the better matchup on paper than the Bills do against Baltimore’s fearsome unit. Buffalo’s defense didn’t necessarily stand out in any one category, although they did tighten up against the pass at the tail end of the regular season. The Bills currently rank just in the bottom half of the league with 359.5 total yards allowed per game, including 387.0 per home contest. Buffalo is also now allowing 268.7 passing yards per home game after giving up 309 yards and two TDs to Philip Rivers in the wild-card game, and they are yielding 122.2 rushing yards per contest as well.

All of those numbers bode well for Jackson, J.K. Dobbins and Marquise Brown and the Ravens’ other high-upside assets on that side of the ball. For the ground game, which Harbaugh still favors at an NFL-high 55.8 percent clip, there should be plenty of opportunity against a unit that gives up an elevated 4.5 RB yards per carry. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are certainly set up for potential success in light of those numbers, but Jackson, a de facto running back in his own right who racked up a whopping 136 rushing yards against the Titans last Sunday, is also in a good spot — Buffalo surrendered 327 rushing yards and seven TDs on the ground to quarterbacks.

Jackson may also have to pick up his production through the air to keep up with the Bills, irrespective of how effective his team’s defense has been. The 2019 NFL MVP once again threw for under 200 yards versus Tennessee, making it the sixth time in the last seven games he fell short of that mark. The Bills are allowing a middle-of-the-pack 6.8 yards per attempt, and Jackson did rack up 37 completions of greater than 20 yards, including four of over 40 yards, this past regular season. Considering the speed of Brown – as well as that of fellow wideouts Miles Boykin and Devin Duvernay — there could be some opportunities downfield in the air attack. Yet, Tre’Davious White, who allowed just a 45.8 percent completion rate in primary coverage this season, looms large as a ballhawk that Jackson will have to navigate.

On the other side, there will be an intriguing battle of strength vs. strength. The Bills average an AFC-high 31.1 points per game, as well as the second-most total yards per game (396.5). A good chunk of that production came through the air. Buffalo averages the third-most passing yards per game (289.5) and passes at a 60.5 percent rate. Stefon Diggs also finished the season as the NFL’s top receiver courtesy of a 127-1,535-8 line and added 128 yards and a TD on six receptions versus Indianapolis. However, the Ravens are a thorny matchup. Baltimore allows the sixth-fewest passing yards per game (221.0) during the regular season and limited opponents to the third-lowest yards per attempt (5.7) on the road.

Betting Predictions For Thanksgiving Nfl

The Bills running game was completely overshadowed by the exploits of Allen and Diggs at times this season. Buffalo generates just 107.0 rushing yards per contest and rank right in the middle of the league with 4.36 adjusted line yards per carry facilitated. Conversely, Baltimore allows the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game (105.4) and 10^th-fewest adjusted line yards per carry (4.16). The Bills are also now without Zack Moss, who headed to injured reserve Tuesday with the ankle injury he suffered in the wild-card win over the Colts.
