Ravens at Bills

Ravens are next to take on the Bills in Buffalo after both teams move on, as expected. We wrote about Bills' pass offense and Ravens' ball-control rushing game last week.

This week we'll look at pass defense where Ravens were near the league leaders, ranking 4th and Bills rate as better than average at 9th. See our Killer Stat-Defense. This stat is charted in the graph below for the Ravens. They usually performed stronger than league average (lower number) as seen by the turquoise line. Three loses came in games where they were they gave up 7+ yards per pass (big bars). They will need a strong performance this week to stop the Bills.

Our computer projects Bills over Ravens by 1. Consider that Buffalo gets 3 points for the home field and that makes this game look very tight indeed. While I am somewhat emotionally attached to the Bills, I've got to rate this a toss up. Could go either way -- I can't pick a side in this one.
