Prediction
Ravens 24, Bills 17
Moneyline (?)
The Ravens and Bills are two of the hottest teams in the league right now, but Baltimore has been steadier all season and has beaten better opponents. They’ll keep that up this week against a surprisingly tough Bills team that just beat the Cowboys in Dallas on Thanksgiving.
Bet the RAVENS (-250) to win outright despite being on the road. They have a great chance to win this game, because Buffalo’s offense will have trouble keeping up.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Ravens to win would return a profit of $4.
Against the Spread (?)
The Ravens are 5.5-point road favorites, which suggests the oddsmakers are confident that they’re the better team. Baltimore has been somewhat underwhelming against the spread (6-5-1) this season, but they’ll cover in this one.
Take the RAVENS (-5.5, -110) to cover and win by a touchdown, if not more. Unless Buffalo’s defense shuts down Lamar Jackson, the Bills won’t be able to score enough to match the Ravens.
Over/Under (?)
The over/under of 43.5 points may not seem like a high number for the league’s No. 1 scoring offense in Baltimore, but Buffalo’s defense is legit. The Ravens won’t put up 35+ like they have in four of their last five games, nor will the Bills light up the scoreboard.
Bet the UNDER 43.5 (-110) in this matchup, even as tempting as it is to take the over with the Ravens playing.

2020 put plenty of assumptions about the Baltimore Ravens to bed. Lamar Jackson won his first career playoff game and pulled off his first 10-point comeback (conveniently, both in the same game). While 11-5 and a Divisional Round appearance is nothing to be ashamed of, Ravens fans can’t help but feel they deserved more. Their superstar defense was on fire and their run game was pristine, but Baltimore was unable to find the end zone and a costly 101-yard pick six all but sealed that Divisional loss. The foundation is set, and the Ravens will be back.
There’s several free agents that need to be addressed, mostly on defense. Matt Judon is poised to become an unrestricted free agent, as is Yannick Ngakoue, Derek Wolfe, and Tyus Bowser. Jackson is heading into a contract year in 2021. Modern football philosophy suggests this could be the Ravens’ last chance at a Super Bowl run– quarterbacks command so much cap space that rookie contracts are the only beneficial deals with the team to surround their quarterback with talent.
Playing for John Harbaugh and a winning franchise like the Ravens is plenty attractive for free agents, meaning the Ravens will get theirs. How they attack the offseason will tell a lot about what Baltimore thinks of their young quarterback and current situation.

Best Ravens betting site(s)
Ravens prop bets
Prop bets are based on individual performance, typically surrounding players. For example, Lamar Jackson’s Week 14 rushing prop total against the Cleveland Browns was 86.5 yards. Those who speculated that Jackson would rush for 87 or more yards would bet the over while those who thought Cleveland would hold him to 86 or less rushing yards would take the under. Jackson rushed for 124 yards in the Ravens’ win and bettors who took the over would have won the bet.

Ravens futures odds
Futures are long-term bets that can range from an offseason to a full season (or beyond). Team win totals, award winners, and player performance are common futures. For example:
2020 Odds to win NFL DROY
- Chase Young -110
- Patrick Queen +450
- Kenneth Murray +1000
- Jaylon Johnson +1500
This line for the Defensive Rookie of the Year would often be bet before the season starts. Futures allow for bettors to capitalize on players they think are favorites to win awards long before the odds shift away from their favor. For example, Queen opened with odds of +900 to win the DROY award after the NFL Draft; his odds will shift as the season develops based on his performance for the Ravens defense.

How to bet on the Baltimore Ravens
Moneyline
The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:
- Ravens -185
- Panthers +310
The Ravens are considered heavy favorites in this matchup (indicated by -185), requiring a $185 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). The Panthers are the underdog in this matchup, paying out $410 total for a $100 bet ($310 in winnings). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.
Point spread
Betting on the point spread is determinant on how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:
Scores And Odds Las Vegas Odds
- Ravens -6.5 (-110)
- Dolphins +6.5 (-110)
In this example, Baltimore is favored by 6.5 points, indicated by “-6.5.” If the Ravens win the game 27-20, the Ravens (-6.5) win the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Dolphins keep the game within seven and lose 23-17, the Dolphins (+6.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.
Point total (over/under)
The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, in Baltimore’s Week 14 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, the game had a 53.5 point over/under total. The Ravens won the game 47-42, totaling an exciting 89 points. Those that bet the over in that game would have cashed out.
In-play and live betting
Sometimes, the most thrilling and rewarding bets are bets made while games are being played. These are referred to as live bets or in-play bets. Odds are ever-changing during games, which would prove to be fruitful for sharp and prepared bettors. For example, if the Ravens (-225) were heavily favored against the Bengals (+190) before kickoff, a payout on a $10 bet on the Ravens to win would win just $4.44.
However, say the Ravens fell to a big 21-3 deficit in the first half despite controlling the overall game (due to a costly turnover or special teams gaffe). Odds may swing in favor of the Bengals, who may be a -110 favorite at halftime. Taking the Ravens to come back and win the game could present plus-odds (say, +130). Should a bettor take Baltimore (+130) at halftime and the Ravens pull off the comeback, winners would win $13 instead of $4.44 (plus the initial $10 bet).
This could also be an effective way to “hedge” your bet; say a bettor took the Bengals (+190) in that game, but Buffalo jumps out to a 24-0 first half lead and is controlling the overall feel of the game, bettors could hedge by throwing some money down on Baltimore (-270) to return some of the inevitably-lost bet.
Parlays and teasers
You can always string bets together in the form of parlays or teasers. Usually during busy Sundays, bettors can parlay several teams to win or cover against the spread and if all bets are successful, the payouts are multiplied. Teasers function similarly, except they allow bettors to move each point spread to a more favorable line in exchange for diminished odds.
Ravens 2020 recap
Record: 11-5
Record ATS: 10-6
Over/under record: 7-9
The Ravens finally overcame the stigma of not being able to win a playoff game or some back from a deficit under Lamar Jackson, but fans likely still felt like their team was capable of more. The Ravens’ offense at its best was explosive, especially down the final stretch of the season. However, their mid-season cap in points seemed to be roughly 21 points. Their defense stepped up to the plate, but was gashed in games against Cleveland (42 points allowed) and Tennessee (30 points).
Las Vegas Sports Odds
Baltimore, almost more so than any other team in the NFL, was capable of total blowouts. In eight instances this season, the Ravens won by 14 or more points, including 32- and 35-point decimations of Cleveland (Week 1) and Cincinnati (Week 17). Their explosive rushing offense and ability to score in bunches led to Vegas spotting games involving the Ravens lots of points– frequently above 52 points. Thanks to their sturdy defense, Ravens games finished with a 7-9 record against the spread.
Ravens 2021 offseason moves
Key free agents: Matt Judon (EDGE), Yannick Ngakoue (EDGE), Mark Ingram (RB), Derek Wolfe (DL), Tyus Bowser (EDGE), D.J. Fluker (RG), Gus Edwards (RB)
Draft pick position needs: EDGE, TE, WR, OL
Just about every edge rusher employed by the Baltimore Ravens is set to become a free agent this season, including midseason addition Yannick Ngakoue. Bowser and Ngakoue are both 26 years old, making them potential suitors for a long-term deal. The latter is valued at $12 million per season (100% guaranteed), lessening the probability of Baltimore re-signing him to a new deal. 2019 leading rusher Mark Ingram is also set to hit the market along with reliable gadget back Gus Edwards. With star-in-waiting J.K. Dobbins on the roster, it’s likely that the Ravens let the two former backs go.
The odds of the Ravens re-signing any of their edge rushers to extensions remains low. This leaves them with a thinned group of edge rushers led by Calais Campbell. The back of the first round– where Baltimore is drafting– is packed with capable edge rushers (namely Georgia’s Azeez Ojulari, Texas’ Jospeh Ossai, and Miami’s Jaelen Phillips). The Ravens could also address their receiver position with later picks, thought a Rashod Bateman or Kadarius Toney can’t be ruled out in the first.
