  Through 6 games in 2026, Josh Allen threw for 1504 passing yards, completed 66.7% of his passes and averaged 8.79 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 3668 yards, completed 69.3% and averaged 7.97 yards per attempt, 25-10 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 9-4 touchdown-to-interception line is 6 games in.

• Lamar Jackson is the projected starting quarterback for BAL

  10.07 Y/A

  Through 4 games in 2026, Lamar Jackson threw for 967 passing yards, completed 70.8% of his passes and averaged 10.07 yards per attempt. Last season over 13 games he threw for 2549 yards, completed 63.6% and averaged 8.44 yards per attempt, 21-7 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 6-1 touchdown-to-interception line is 4 games in.

PASS RUSH

• BUF: 11.8 sack yards lost per game to BAL's 17.3

  5.5 YDS

  BAL is at 17.3 sack yards lost per game over 7 games; BUF is at 11.8 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 31. Last season BAL was at 17.2 over 17 games and BUF at 21.3 over 17 games.

• BUF: 2 sacks taken per game to BAL's 2.57

  0.57 SACKS

  BAL is at 2.57 sacks taken per game over 7 games; BUF is at 2 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 31. Last season BAL was at 2.65 over 17 games and BUF at 2.86 over 17 games.

PACE & SCRIPT

• BAL @ BUF carries a 54.5 market total

  54.5

  Sitting 9 points over the 45.5 slate median, this total says the market expects both offenses to finish drives in Buffalo, with points arriving from both sides rather than one team carrying it. That is the top of a 13-game board, tied with one other game, so the bar for an over is high. For it to crack, one offense has to stall early and turn this into a single-team game. If you lean under, early drives that end in field goals are the sign to watch.

• BUF: 32.8 points per game to BAL's 24.1

  8.7 PPG

  Buffalo puts up 32.8 points a game over six games to Baltimore's 24.1 over seven. Baltimore is close to last season's 24.9, while Buffalo is up from 28.3, so the Bills are on a hot run. Some cooling is possible over six games, but they were already good last year. At home, Buffalo is the team likely to dictate the scoreboard, with Baltimore needing to keep up.

• BAL: 23.9 points allowed per game to BUF's 28.5

  4.6 PPG

  BAL is at 23.9 points allowed per game over 7 games; BUF is at 28.5 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 31. Last season BAL was at 23.4 over 17 games and BUF at 21.5 over 17 games.

• BAL: 31:55 time of possession per game to BUF's 29:04

  2:51 TOP

  BAL is at 31:55 time of possession per game over 7 games; BUF is at 29:04 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 31. Last season BAL was at 29:11 over 17 games and BUF at 33:09 over 17 games.

TURNOVERS

• BAL: 0.71 turnovers committed per game to BUF's 1.5

  0.79 TO

  Baltimore has been careful with the ball this season, coughing it up about half as often as last season's 1.35. Buffalo has gone the other way, up from 1.12 to 1.5 over 6 games. Turnover rates swing a lot over a few games, so both numbers probably move back toward last season. Don't price this game as if Buffalo will keep giving it away.

• BAL: 0.43 fumbles lost per game to BUF's 0.83

  0.4 FUM

  BAL is at 0.43 fumbles lost per game over 7 games; BUF is at 0.83 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 31. Last season BAL was at 0.71 over 17 games and BUF at 0.53 over 17 games.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• BUF: 6.55 yards per play to BAL's 5.91

  0.64 Y/P

  BAL is at 5.91 yards per play over 7 games; BUF is at 6.55 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 31. Last season BAL was at 5.92 over 17 games and BUF at 5.94 over 17 games. BAL had 2 plays of 20+ yards in its last game, led by 48-yard pass for a touchdown (Zay Flowers 48 Yd pass from Tyler Huntley (Tyler Loop Kick)); 20-yard pass (Tyler Huntley Pass Complete for 20 Yds to Zay Flowers). BUF had 4 plays of 20+ yards in its last game, led by 37-yard pass (Josh Allen Pass Complete for 37 Yds to Joshua Palmer); 26-yard pass (Josh Allen Pass Complete for 26 Yds to James Cook III); 23-yard pass (Josh Allen Pass Complete for 23 Yds to James Cook III).

RED ZONE

• BUF: 4.33 red-zone trips per game to BAL's 3.43

  0.9 TRIPS

  BAL is at 3.43 red-zone trips per game over 7 games; BUF is at 4.33 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 31. Last season BAL was at 3.47 over 17 games and BUF at 3.82 over 17 games.

MISMATCH

• BAL: 0.71 turnovers a game to BUF's 1.5

  0.71 VS 1.5

  Baltimore gives the ball away 0.71 times a game over seven games, Buffalo 1.5 over six. Both have flipped from last season, when the Ravens were at 1.35 and the Bills at 1.12, so turnovers this small in sample tend to swing back. In a close game in Buffalo, one extra giveaway can decide it, and right now the Bills are the side more likely to cough it up.

COVERAGE

• BAL: 220.9 passing yards allowed per game to BUF's 285.8

  65 YPG

  Baltimore allows 220.9 passing yards a game over 7 games, while Buffalo gives up 285.8 in its 6. Passing yards allowed rise when teams build leads and opponents throw late, and the sheet doesn't show the scripts either defense faced. At home, Buffalo's pass defense looks like the more vulnerable unit, which gives Baltimore's passing game the better setup.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

• BUF lead the series with BAL since 2025

  1-0 SERIES

  There is one meeting to go on: Buffalo beat Baltimore 41-40 at home in Week 1 of last season. One game from over a year ago is a thin sample, but it was a shootout decided by a single point, the same matchup in the same building.

REPLACEMENT

• Joe Fagnano (QB) is out for BAL

  OUT

  Fagnano is listed out for Baltimore with an undisclosed injury. He came out of Sunday's loss to the Bills saying he hopes to be ready for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, but he admitted he isn't 100 percent. With Tyler Huntley also questionable with a toe injury, the Ravens' quarterback room is thin. The sheet doesn't say who starts if both sit, so wait for Thursday's actives before trusting any Baltimore passing number.

• Tyler Huntley (QB) is questionable for BAL

  QUESTIONABLE

  Huntley picked up what could be turf toe during Sunday's 36-10 loss at Buffalo, so the injury is fresh and the diagnosis is still a maybe. Questionable means a real chance he plays and a real chance he doesn't, and turf toe is the kind of thing that limits how a quarterback plants and moves even when he suits up. The sheet doesn't name a backup, so watch the final injury report before betting anything tied to Baltimore's passing game.

• DJ Moore (WR) is questionable for BUF

  QUESTIONABLE

  Moore left late in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens with a knee issue, then said afterward that he's okay. He is listed questionable. A late exit in a blowout win often means the team was being careful, and his own word points that way. Watch the practice reports this week: if he gets in full sessions, the knee is probably a non-factor for his usual role.

• Tyrell Shavers (WR) is pup-r for BUF

  PUP-R

  Shavers has been designated to return from the PUP list with his knee injury, which opened his practice window Wednesday, but he won't play Sunday against the Ravens. Practicing again is a step toward a return. For this game, the Bills' receiver group stays as it has been.

• Adam Randall (RB) is ir-r for BAL

  IR-R

  Randall is still on injured reserve with a neck injury after the Ravens chose not to activate him Saturday, so he misses Sunday at Buffalo. He remains in his return window, which means activation is still possible in a later week. Baltimore runs this game with the backs already on the active roster.

• C.J. Gardner-Johnson (S) is reserve-sus for BUF

  RESERVE-SUS

  Buffalo lists Gardner-Johnson on the reserve suspended list, so he is unavailable against Baltimore. This is a suspension, and the Bills will have someone else at safety for this game.

• Tavius Robinson (LB) is on injured reserve for BAL

  IR

  The Ravens placed Robinson (pectoral) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 24.

SITUATIONAL

• BUF has 7 more days of rest

  7d vs 14d

  Buffalo had a bye and gets 14 days to prepare, while Baltimore plays on a normal 7-day week. The home side gets the extra time to heal bumps and build a plan for this specific opponent, and Baltimore gets the usual week to install a game plan and travel. The rest gap is fixed by the schedule, so it holds up. Think of it as a modest preparation edge for Buffalo on top of home field. It matters more if Baltimore is carrying injuries into the week.

• BAL (4-3) at BUF (5-1)

  +24 PT GAP

  Baltimore is 4-3 but only +2, and it arrives on a two-game losing streak. The odd part is the split: the Ravens are 3-1 on the road, better than their overall record. Buffalo is 5-1, +26, has won two straight, and is 2-1 at home. The Bills have the cleaner profile and the momentum, and Baltimore's road mark is the reason not to write them off in this spot.

AFTER GARY

• BAL +3 → +3

  NO MOVE

  Gary's number was 3; the market closed at 3.
