In this article, we will formulate a Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills Prediction for this NFL Week 4 game on Sunday, September 29th, at M&T Bank Stadium.
Ravens Coming Off First Win
The Ravens lost the first two games of the season, but they were able to pick up a win in the last game against the Dallas Cowboys. Even though they won, the Cowboys outscored them 19-0 in the 4th quarter and they ended up winning by only three points. Derek Henry ran wild and he finished with 25 carries for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Lamar Jackson completed 12 of his 15 carries for 182 yards and a touchdown. Even though they won, there is still so much to clean up, and they are going to need to clean that up quickly. They allowed Dak Prescott to throw for 379 yards and two touchdowns. If they want a chance in this game, they are going to need the defense to be better.
The Ravens on the season are averaging 23.7 points while their defense is giving up 26 points per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league while the defense is ranked 24th. The defense needs to be a whole lot better here, and really try to put the pressure on.
Perfect Start to the Season for the Bills
It’s been a perfect start to the season for the Bills, and they currently have a 3-0 record. On Monday night football, the Bills faced off against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and they were able to secure a 47-10 victory. Josh Allen didn’t even need to play a full game and he completed 23 of his 30 passes for 263 yards and four touchdowns. Even though they were so good the running game could have been a little better. The top rusher was also Allen who rushed six times for 44 yards. James Cook rushed 11 times for 39 yards and a touchdown. Khalil Shakir has stepped up and he caught six passes for 72 yards and a touchdown.
In each of the first three games, the Bills have scored at least 31 points, and over the last two games, the defense has given up only 20 points total. If the defense is strong, they should be in good shape to secure another victory.

Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills Prediction
