Ravens vs. Bills prediction, odds, time: 2026 NFL Week 8 picks by advanced model

The Baltimore Ravens have lost two straight but will welcome back quarterback Lamar Jackson just in time to face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in an NFL Week 8 high-profile showdown on CBS and Paramount+. Jackson has missed the last three games but has no injury designation this week as he rejoins an offense featuring Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers, making Baltimore even more dangerous. Meanwhile, nobody has been slowing down Allen and the Bills, who lead the NFL in scoring and fresh off their bye week.

Top Ravens vs. Bills predictions

After 10,000 simulations of Bills vs. Ravens, the model is going Over 54.5 points at betting apps. The Over has hit in all but one Bills game this season, which makes sense. While they rank No. 1 in scoring at 32.8 ppg, they're also allowing 28.5 ppg, third-most in the league. That's over 60 total points per game on average. 

The Ravens' offense managed just 13 and 10 points the last two weeks in critical divisional losses to the Bengals and Browns. Things are different when Jackson is under center. In his three full games, Baltimore scored 41 and 34 in two of them. Those contests finished with 65 and 64 points. 

The model projects 58 combined points as the Over has value 55% of the time. See which team to back at SportsLine.

In addition to going Over, the model also says one side of the spread is the better value. See what it is at SportsLine.
