Today's Matches · 20:57:28 - Tuesday, 3 November 2026

The Baltimore Ravens travel to face the Buffalo Bills in NFL Week 8 on Sunday at New Highmark Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Buffalo enters as a 3-point home favorite according to DraftKings Sportsbook, and the over/under is set at 54.5 points. The Bills' only loss this season came by three points at home against the New England Patriots, while the Ravens (4-3) have dropped two consecutive games with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson sidelined by an ankle injury.

Josh Allen has led the Bills' offense to an NFL-best 32.8 points per game. Through six games, Allen has thrown for 1,504 yards and rushed for 240 yards, accounting for 17 total touchdowns against four interceptions. He recently surpassed Jim Kelly to become the franchise's all-time leader in touchdown passes with 258. Running back James Cook, the NFL's leading rusher in 2025, paces the team with 627 rushing yards and six touchdowns. However, Buffalo's defense ranks 31st in yards allowed (386.8 per game) and 30th in points allowed (28.5 per game).

In Jackson's absence, Tyler Huntley has started the past three games, during which Baltimore has scored just 23 total points. Jackson, who has 967 passing yards, six touchdowns, one interception, and 144 rushing yards in four games, may return but could be rusty. Running back Derrick Henry has accumulated 579 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, while receiver Zay Flowers averages 101.3 receiving yards per game with three touchdowns. The Ravens' defense allows fewer than 24 points per contest (19th in the NFL), and the offense averages 24.1 points (12th).

Betting trends show the Ravens are 2-5 against the spread overall but 2-1 ATS on the road. The Bills are 4-2 ATS overall and 2-1 ATS at home. Five of Buffalo's six games have gone over the total, while Baltimore is 4-3 to the over. Last season, the Bills defeated the Ravens 41-40 in Week 1 and eliminated them in the AFC Divisional Playoffs with a 27-25 home victory.

The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates each game 10,000 times, projects Buffalo covering the spread in 52% of simulations. Based on the model's analysis and the Bills' offensive firepower at home, the recommended pick is Bills -3.
