The Bills have a slight edge on the Ravens in more ways than one.
First, the oddsmakers have had Buffalo consistently as a 2.5-point favorite this week in most sportsbooks, including BetMGM. Now the so-called “experts” share similar feelings ahead of their AFC Divisional round meeting against Baltimore.
According to NFL Pickwatch, the Bills (13-3) have the tiniest of margins over the Ravens (11-5) in terms of writers, analysts and talking heads on television that picked who they think will come out on top. The Bills are favored by 57 percent of the folks that were surveyed by the outlet.
By comparison, it’s pretty much the same split for the NFC meeting between the Saints and Bucs. The Saints are picked by 56 percent of this same bunch.
In terms of Buffalo, among those who do think the Bills will pull out the win include: Mina Kimes (ESPN), Mike Clay (ESPN), Pete Prisco (CBS Sports) and Michael David Smith (Pro Football Talk).
On the flip side, some of those picking against the Bills (and feel free to take notes), include: Nate Davis (USA TODAY), Maurice Jones-Drew (NFL.com), Greg Rosenthal (NFL.com) and Mike Florio (Pro Football Talk).
