Overview
Baltimore sits at 4-3 and has dropped its last two, a 13-35 loss at home to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7 and a 10-13 road loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 6. Before that stretch the Ravens won three straight, beating the Atlanta Falcons 30-23, the Tennessee Titans 24-18 and the Dallas Cowboys 34-31. Baltimore has scored 169 points and allowed 167 on the season. Quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 222 yards and two touchdowns on 15-of-20 passing in Week 4, good for a 144.2 rating, and he's one of only two quarterbacks in the league with a 65-plus completion percentage and a 120-plus rating in three games this season. The Ravens also have multiple injury situations to track: running back Adam Randall and cornerback T.J. Tampa are questionable, safety Jaylinn Hawkins and guard Olaivavega Ioane are out, and defensive end Calais Campbell and left tackle Ronnie Stanley did not practice, with no game status yet attached to either.
Buffalo is 5-1 and has won two straight, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 33-30 and the Los Angeles Rams 37-34, with the only blemish a 26-29 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 4 sandwiched between wins over the Los Angeles Chargers (24-16) and the Detroit Lions (41-31). The Bills have outscored opponents 197-171 on the season.
Buffalo is favored by 3.0 points with a total of 54.5, and the form backs it up: the Bills are 5-1 with a two-game win streak and have scored more points than Baltimore, which is reeling from a lopsided loss to Cincinnati. The edge here belongs to the home team.
Key players
Lamar Jackson has been elite in flashes this season, already posting three games with a completion percentage of 65 or better and a rating of 120 or higher, putting him in rare company league-wide.
Zay Flowers leads the AFC in receptions with 40 and ranks fifth in the NFL in receiving yards with 608, and he's the only AFC player with eight-plus catches in three different games this season.
Derrick Henry needs a touchdown to tie Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk's 136 touchdowns for the fourth-most by a running back in NFL history, and he already ranks second among AFC running backs with seven rushing touchdowns in 2026.
Tyler Loop projects for 9.0 DraftKings points and will be counted on to cash in whatever scoring chances the Ravens offense generates in a game with a 54.5 total.
Rashod Bateman rounds out Baltimore's receiving corps alongside Flowers and gives Jackson another outlet in the passing game.
Keys to the game
Baltimore needs Lamar Jackson to keep operating at the efficient, high-rating level he's shown in flashes this season rather than the kind of output that produced the 13-point showing against Cincinnati.
Feeding Derrick Henry inside the ten should be a priority given his track record of multiple touchdowns and his status as the AFC's second-leading rusher in touchdowns this year.
The Ravens defense, anchored by Kyle Hamilton, who leads defensive backs with seven tackles for loss, and Marlon Humphrey, who's chasing his third straight game with a pass breakup, has to find a way to slow a Bills offense that's averaging a high point total.
Fantasy angles
Lamar Jackson projects for 22.5 DraftKings points and is a clear start given his track record of multiple 100-plus rating, multi-touchdown games this season.
Zay Flowers projects for 18.5 points and is a start in all formats as the AFC's leader in receptions and a top-five receiver in yardage league-wide.
Derrick Henry projects for 13.5 points and belongs in lineups given his goal-line role and his history of multi-touchdown performances this season.
Rashod Bateman projects for just 6.5 points and is best treated as a bench piece or a deep-league flex rather than a confident start.
Tyler Loop projects for 9.0 points and is a streaming option in a game carrying a 54.5 total, with scoring expected from both sides.
Prediction
The market lists this one at Buffalo Bills 29, Baltimore Ravens 26. That lines up with Buffalo's status as 3.0-point favorites in a game with a 54.5 total, and it fits the recent form: the Bills have won two straight while the Ravens are trying to climb out of a two-game skid. Expect a competitive, high-scoring game that comes down to whether Baltimore's offense can match Buffalo's pace.
