The Baltimore Ravens will visit the Buffalo Bills in NFL Week 8 on Sunday at New Highmark Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. The Bills enter as 3-point home favorites according to DraftKings Sportsbook, with the over/under set at 54.5 points.

Buffalo (6-1) has lost only once this season, a three-point defeat at home to the New England Patriots. Quarterback Josh Allen has thrown for 1,504 yards and 240 rushing yards, accounting for 17 touchdowns with four interceptions. He recently became the franchise's all-time leader in touchdown passes with 258. Running back James Cook, the NFL's leading rusher in 2025, has 627 rushing yards and six touchdowns.

The Ravens (4-3) have lost two consecutive games while two-time MVP Lamar Jackson has been sidelined with an ankle injury. Backup Tyler Huntley has guided the offense to 23 total points over the past two weeks. Jackson has 967 passing yards, six touchdowns, one interception, and 144 rushing yards in four games. Running back Derrick Henry has 579 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, while receiver Zay Flowers averages 101.3 receiving yards per game with three touchdowns.

Buffalo's offense leads the NFL averaging 32.8 points per game, but its defense ranks 31st in yards allowed (386.8) and 30th in points allowed (28.5). Baltimore's defense allows fewer than 24 points per game (19th), while its offense averages 24.1 points (12th). The Ravens averaged 29 points in their first four games with Jackson.

Against the spread, the Ravens are 2-5 overall but 2-1 on the road, while the Bills are 4-2 overall and 2-1 at home. Five of Buffalo's six games have gone over the total, and Baltimore is 4-3 to the over. The teams met in Week 1 last season, with the Bills winning 41-40 at home, and Buffalo also eliminated the Ravens in the AFC Divisional playoffs with a 27-25 home victory.

The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates each game 10,000 times, has Buffalo covering the spread in 52% of simulations. The model's top-rated pick for the contest is Bills -3.
