They lost the first two games, 27-20 against the Kansas City Chiefs and then were stunned by the Las Vegas Raiders, 26-23. Last week, the Ravens were with their back against the wall but responded well and won 28-25 on the road against the Dallas Cowboys. Lamar Jackson finished with 274 yards rushing and Derrick Henry ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns.

Prediction and Conclusion

Sunday night football will bring us a matchup between two of the best quarterbacks in the game today. Josh Allen has an impressive start, leading the Bills to a 3-0 start, and is an early candidate to win the MVP award this season. On the other hand, Lamar Jackson is under pressure as the Ravens are only 1-2 and are still looking for their first home win after being stunned late in the fourth quarter when the Ravens were in Baltimore. Both teams are pretty solid on the defensive end, and this game can easily go either way. Looking at their most recent head-to-head games, there wasn’t a lot of scoring, so we go with under 46.5 total points in this one.
