The Ravens have dominated this series at home over the years, winning five of the last six meetings in Baltimore. However, the Bills enter Sunday's showdown scoring 37.3 points per game, which ranks first in the NFL.
Kickoff from MT&T Stadium in Baltimore is set for 8:20 p.m. ET. Baltimore is a 2.5-point favorite in the latest Bills vs. Ravens odds via SportsLine Consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 46.

Running back James Cook has been stellar to begin the 2024 season. Cook is a shifty and quick ball-carrier in open space. The Georgia product also slips out of the backfield as a smooth pass-catcher. In three games, the 24-year-old has 188 yards, three rushing scores, and 97 receiving yards. In his previous outing, Cook had 39 rushing yards, 48 receiving yards, and one score.
Tight end Dalton Kincaid is another athletic and versatile playmaker. Kincaid can beat linebackers to his speed and box out safeties with his size. The Utah product owns soft hands and is improving, increasing his receiving yards weekly. In 2024, Kincaid has eight grabs for 85 yards. In the win over the Jaguars , he totaled five catches for 41 yards and one touchdown. See who to back at SportsLine .
Why the Ravens can cover
The Ravens have a nice cluster of pass-catchers in the aerial attack. Baltimore is currently 10th in the league in passing offense (227.0) due to its variety of weapons. Receiver Zay Flowers is constantly featured all across the field. He ranks first on the team in targets (25), receptions (16), and receiving yards (148).
Flowers has seen double-digit targets in two games this season. In Week 2, the Boston College product had seven catches for 91 yards and one touchdown. Tight end Isaiah Likely has also emerged as a reliable pass catcher this season due to his big play ability and good athleticism.
