Jeremy Cluff writes: “This could be an epic AFC divisional round matchup featuring two of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the league in Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. The Ravens continued to impress with a 28-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round, while the Bills looked really good in their 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos. The Ravens beat the Bills this season, 35-10, but that was in Week 4 and that was at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium. This game is at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium, where the Bills are 9-0 this season. This could be a classic.”

Bill Speros writes: “Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be on hand to call the ‘Game Of The Season.’ The NFL’s two would-be MVPs – Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson – meet with a trip to the AFC Championship Game at stake. The 2 QBs combined for 86 TDs and just 10 picks. The Baltimore Ravens rolled into Highmark Stadium in Week 4 and scored touchdowns on their first 3 possessions in scoring a 35-10 rout. The Bills defense has markedly improved since – but so has the Ravens’. Both teams are at 100% in terms of injury and key players. The Bills were able to basically take off the 4^th quarter against Denver, in addition to their final game of the season against New England. The Ravens, meanwhile, have steadily improved down the stretch – especially on defense. They rolled past Pittsburgh 28-14 in their Wild Card win. The combination of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry continue to wreck opposing defenses. Meanwhile, nothing has been able to stop, or slow down, Allen. The Bills have multiple options when Allen doesn’t run the ball – between James Cook, WR Ty Johnson, and their tight-ends. The Ravens will be ready for Allen (at least). They allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards to QBs this past season, just 3.75 yards per attempt. Both QBs here can extend plays and torture opposing defenses. This one could be an instant classic. But the Ravens hold just enough of an edge – even with a shaky Justin Tucker.”

The site also gives the Ravens a 50% shot at winning the NFL playoff game.

Tyler Dragon writes: “Buffalo is undefeated at home this year and has the luxury of playing at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park on Sunday. The Bills need all the home cooking they can get because they were throttled by the Ravens 35-10 in Baltimore on Sunday Night Football in Week 4. Allen was held to 180 passing yards in the loss earlier in the season, and that was when Baltimore’s defense was still figuring itself out. The Ravens have recently been one of the league’s best defenses, and the Jackson-led offense is dominant. I predict Jackson will go on the road and show the fans why he’s this year’s MVP.”
