Experts Like Bills to Take Down Ravens in Week 8

After a much-needed bye, the Buffalo Bills are gearing up for a massive matchup at home this week.

The Bills will be hosting the Baltimore Ravens, giving this team another big challenge to overcome this year. But the Bills have been one of the better teams in the NFL this season, and this group welcomes matchups like this.

Buffalo will be coming into the game with a record of 5-1 on the year, with the team having won two in a row. As for the Ravens, they will enter having lost two games in a row, sitting with a record of 4-3 on the season.

After much speculation, Baltimore announced that star quarterback Lamar Jackson will suit up in the game. Jackson missed the last three games for the Ravens due to injury, but he will be making his return to face the Bills.

But Buffalo has its own star at the position in Josh Allen, creating one of the best quarterback matchups that the league has to offer. Both players would love nothing more than to get a win over the other this week.

Coming into the contest, multiple experts from Bleacher Report predicted the outcome of every game on the Week 8 schedule. Analysts Gary Davenport, Brad Gagnon, Kris Knox, Moe Moton, Brent Sobleski, Wes O'Donnell, and Ian Hanford made their picks, with five of the seven going with Buffalo.

Hanford, Knox, Moton, O'Donnell, and Sobleski were the four experts to pick the Bills in this explosive AFC matchup. Buffalo being at home likely helped them be given the advantage, especially with how good they have been in front of the Bills faithful over the years.

The big question with the Bills comes from the defense, and this unit will be tested against the Ravens. Buffalo's defense has been a work in progress this season, and against a tough run game from Baltimore, it could cause some issues. 

But the Bills offense has been incredible this season, and this should allow them to stay up with the Ravens. Allen has been playing like he wants another MVP award this season, and if he can put another showing together, it could help the team get the victory at home.

If the Bills can get the win over the Ravens, it would be another statement win for this team around the rest of the NFL. Buffalo is coming for a Super Bowl this season, and making sure that they can measure up against teams like this is crucial.

Kickoff for the game between the Bills and Ravens is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET from Highmark Stadium.
