Buffalo Bills (3-0) vs. Baltimore Ravens (1-2)
The Buffalo Bills came off the blocks quickly in the current campaign, exhibiting their strength in the running and passing games. Rushing for 188 yards and 3 touchdowns, James Cook has been a pleasant surprise so far in this season’s campaign, with 49 yards being his longest rush. In the passing game, Khalil Shakir was one of the most dependable and effective receiving options for Josh Allen, who went for 168 yards and scored two touchdowns. Buffalo’s recent thrashing of Jacksonville Jaguars reflects their offensive dominance. However, details on their performance in the other games remain unspecified, but their consistent form suggests they’ve maintained a high level of play.
Conversely, the Baltimore Ravens have found themselves on a rockier path. Despite a recent narrow victory over the Dallas Cowboys, their 1-2 start to the season hints at inconsistencies. Derrick Henry, their stalwart running back, has put up impressive numbers with 281 rushing yards and four touchdowns, presenting a significant threat on the ground. Wide receiver Zay Flowers has contributed with 148 receiving yards, but the Ravens need more from their receiving corps to balance their attack and improve their record.
Josh Allen QB vs. Lamar Jackson QB
Josh Allen’s performance in this season is nothing less than terrific. Allen’s stats show 75% of passes completed and 634 yards of passing along with 7 touchdowns to zero interceptions making people understand why this quarterback is regarded as one of the best in the business. Josh is also important to the Bills Offensive scheme as he helped in blitz avoidance, with only 2 sacks taken, and he made some regular athletic plays.
On the other hand, Lamar Jackson, who plays for the Ravens, has been impressive in parts but deficient in others. His count of 702 in passing yards and three in touchdowns is a good performance; however, looking at the lone interception and his lower passer rating of 95.7, there is hope of further improvement. Jackson’s skills as a dual-threat quarterback could present headaches for the Buffalo defense, especially with his ability to break the pocket and make plays on the run.

Buffalo Bills vs. Baltimore Ravens 9/29/24 Betting Picks
The Buffalo Bills have been evaluating their performance and appearing ready to campaign adequately with the Baltimore Ravens, especially in the next game. Buffalo has always had difficulty playing against the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. However, due to Josh Allen leading a very good offensive squad, it is reasonable even to bet on Buffalo as an underdog. It makes sense to bet on the Ohio team winning at moneyline +150 since they have recently been scoring many points and are most likely to maintain that form.
In terms of enforced better picks, it would be prudent to back Buffalo at +150 and take the over on 46.5, considering both teams are highly offensive. Also, both the predator and victim grow osmotically and would adjust to these prop bets. Our paid picks and predictions bring this home by ensuring that returns are maximized on the aforementioned bets.
