Bills vs. Ravens Predictions For Sunday Night Football, NFL Week 4

Since they were both drafted in 2018, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have squared off three times - including once in the 2021 AFC Championship game. And the Bill have gotten the best of the Ravens in the last two matchup in 2022 and 2021. This week the Ravens are favorites at home but only by -2.5 points.

After a hard-fought game with the Arizona Cardinals in Week One, the BIlls cruised to easy wins against the Miami Dolphins (without Tua Tagovailoa) and the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars. The Ravens lost in Week One to the Kansas City Chiefs by a toe (literally), dropped an unfortunate game to the Raiders in Week Two, then bounced back with a win over the Dallas Cowboys last week. 

 

 

 

Buffalo Bills: Finally Forced To Throw?

In recent years the Buffalo Bills have played a lot of “hero ball”. And the hero they relied on was Stefon Diggs. In 2024 they have gone with a more run heavy approach, spreading the ball around when they do throw it. And the real hero, Josh Allen, has been able to shine.

So far, they have not been forced to throw much. Through the first two games, they attempted only 42 passes which was the second fewest to only the New Orleans Saints. Last week they flashed what that pass attack could look like before the game got out of hand. They even pulled the starters. 

The defense has been fairly resilient despite dealine with a number of key injuries. Matt Milano tore his bicep right before the season and isn’t likely to be back until the playoffs. They’ll be without linebacker Terrel Bernard and corner Taron Johnson this week which could present some challenges.

 

 

 

Baltimore Ravens: Mark Andrews Quiet So Far

Lamar Jackson has been impressive as always. Zay Flowers has been the target hog we saw towards the second half of last year. New acquisition Derrick Henry has bulldozed a touchdown every game. Even second tight end Isaiah Likely had a monster game against the Cheifs. Yet star tight end Mark Andrews has been off to a slow start.

There has been speculation that he was rusty after missing time following a car accident. Or that he had lingering issues following surgery on a high ankle injury. But he claims that he’s the same player he’s always been. He added that “balls just haven’t come my way” when talking to the Ravens’ official website. Perhaps this is the week where he shows what he can do?

The Ravens defense has given up some big plays through the air which safety Eddie Jackson contributed to miscommunication. We believe in guys like Jackson, Kyle Hamilton, and Marlon Humphrey so that’s not likely the norm for this team. And Roquan Smith has done a tremendous job making tackles all over the field, averaging nearly 10 combined tackles a game through three games.

Bills vs. Ravens: Game Total Under 46 (-110 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

Some folks say that betting the under is “boring”. But points aren’t the only exciting thing for true football fans. Strategy and defense can be exciting two. And I think the philosophies and situations for these two teams are leading us towards the under here.

Both teams thus far have been run-heavy offenses. While, simultaneously, both defenses have been top 10 in DVOA so far against the run, per our friends at FTNFantasy. And neither team really has the weapons at this moment to push the ball down the field. Guys like Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins can get loose at times but neither team has a Tyreek Hill or even a Xavier Worthy.

I think what we see here is a lot of running the football via the RPO combined with “death by a thousand cuts” pass attacks. The Bills Matt Milano and Terrell Bernard is the perfect storm for Mark Andrews to get his “get right” game over the middle. When all is said and done, I think this game will be a good one and a close one, but will it light up the scoreboard? I don’t think so.
