Week 14 - Ravens (-6.5) at Bills Over/Under 44


Recommended Posts

Forgot about Oliver’s draft profile until last week but he definitely plays up to spotlight. In college some of his best games were in the biggest spotlight. In particular I remembered one of the games was the last time he played Lamar Jackson in his heisman year. Country Ed had 2 sacks and three TFL. Hoping he manages to take his games to another level this week.

As much as I hope I'm wrong, I just can't see how we beat the Ravens. 

 

My hope is that home field gives the bills some advantage and maybe Lamar has an off game. Obviously he's gonna run, and if I'm on the bills defense I'm going after that ball like my life depends on it when he decides to run 

 

I think our best chance is simply the ravens have a off day and are due for a loss . 

I'm still not convinced by our run defense. we were being gashed by Zeke early in the game and had the cowboys been smart and used him more he would have been a problem.

Yeah. Vegas has lost a lot of money on the Ravens. They set the line really high imo. 


There was another stats that was similar to a line (I don’t know very much about sports books) that would indicate that Vegas believes the score between the 2 teams will be close.  Let’s hope it works out in the Bills favor

Sounds about right. When it opened at -6.5, I thought it was an open invitation for Bills money to come in and balance the books.

John Harbaugh presser today. 

 

Really different vibe from McDermott's. 

 

https://www.baltimoreravens.com/video/john-harbaugh-that-was-an-all-around-winning-performance

 

Opening for questions: "Whaddayouhave?"

Cut off a reporter starting to say something about "elusive for the franchise": "I don't speak in those terms, that word you use.  I don't use that word.  It's a weird word to me.  I answered the question.  It's been answered."  Shifts his eyes to someone else, next question.   I didn't hear the question but it evoked a long spiel about "that's all noise, that's a distraction" and "I don't think about that.  I don't have time to think about that.  It's a great point for you to write about."  Then when he's talking about his team and how it played-just relaxed, his voice goes down in pitch, his gestures smooth out.  Asked about shots Lamar took "I don't care, I'm not gettin' into it, our job is to protect our QB, officials job is to officiate the game" 

 

Asked to talk about Hayden Hurst: "List the contributions he made (that's not quite what he was asked).  I have a list, I don't have it on me" (pantomining looking for a list).  I think he had a great game, he got a game ball" (then again, he's really relaxed, eloquent, gave long answers about the tight end room).

 

Asked about bringing someone up..."I'm going to give you the wait and see.  I know what we're going to do, but I'm going to say wait and see, if that's all right with you"

 

Listen and decide for yourself, but I would say 1) overall he has his press corps whipped into line and McDermott should listen and take some notes 2) I have a "this guy has really got it going on, he's Master of All He Surveys" feeling about Harbaugh.   This is a guy who feels he's "got it going on" and has a lot of confidence in his coordinators, his coaches, and his players.

 

He mentioned key plays on special teams and a guy that almost blocked a punt.  ST may be the key to the game, and I have to say I don't give us the advantage.

 


He has done it before and he knows that the real season starts after Thanksgiving.  This is the time that good teams buckle down, eliminate the noise, and focus on what’s directly in front of them.  Last time the Ravens won the Super Bowl they started the season mediocre and got hot in late November and never lost another game.  This season feels similar for them.  Hopefully McD, who isn’t used to success as a HC, already has taken notes from Reid and Rivera about ratcheting up the intensity starting NOW.

This has to be the biggest game in Buffalo this late in the season in years/decades. I really want a win here. Everyone thought the Dallas win was huge. That will be nothing compared to what a win this week would be. If the Pats lose then the division is really up for grabs. I can't wait to see the atmosphere in OP this Sunday.

I think one of the things that helps us in this game is that we have 10 days rest to prepare. The Ravens have to study two different opponents this week since they have a Thursday night game against the Jets in week 15. The fact that they have to study two different opponents takes a little bit of their focus off of our game. The fact that this game is at home as well is big

 

I think that the Ravens have been studying Buffalo AND NYJ and developing game plans for for some time.  This isn't Harbaugh's first rodeo.

Hi All,

 

Ravnes fan since inception here, I came by due to this awesome hype video. Kudos to whomever made it.

 

Is the music in this from the dark knight rises OST? Sounds a lot like it. Regardless, good luck on sunday and F NE.

This has to be the most exciting last 4 weeks the Bills have had in maybe a generation.

 

Beat Baltimore, and Buffalo is in the drivers seat, Pittsburgh is a huge deal. 

Beat Pitt, Holy Shyte, can Buffalo really go into NE and dethrone the axis of evil. 

Beat NE, jesus, don't embarass yourself against the Jets. 

Beat the Jets, and the conference runs through OP. 

 

Lose to Baltimore, OK maybe they are not for real. 

Lose to Pitt on primetime, oh look at the Bills, what an uphill climb next week. 

Lose to NE, The Bills are who we thought they were. 

Lost to the Jets, well FML

 

Somehow  the Bills somehow equally as likely to be the no. 1 seed in the AFC as they are to miss the playoffs.

No worries, I only would talk with respect but this is sports so were naturally tribal.

 

Your D looks legit, the run D is supposedly suspect and of the 5/6 BUFF games I've watched I can't figure out why its ranked so poorly. Our run D is nothing special on the perimeter, a fast back can do damage there, that's our real weak spot. Any predictions?

Hey there, welcome to the board. First I’ll say I have a lot of respect for Harbaugh and the way that franchise is run. As for predictions, I think this one will be a physical hard fought game and probably close. The Bills will have to match the Ravens coaching with some wrinkles of their own. This one could come down to STs and our kicker is kind of struggling right now. I don’t think you can stop Jackson , just try to limit the damage and be aggressive on offense because TDs will be required. ,Turnover battle will decide the outcome.

Fun fact ravens average more than 2x (pts) Jim Kellys wonderlic score per game.

Wins man wins are all that matters

Cool well come Sunday the Bills will have 10 of em, I can't help it if your QB is human broccoli

 

Were you the guy predicting Allen tears his ACL or did Jackson's mom take the parental controls off his computer last night?

Hey I actually like the Ravens. They were a roadblock for the Pats in the playoffs a bunch of years and I always pulled for them. Just don't have the same respect for their fans as of yesterday

The Run D had a couple of * bad * games that skewed the stats somewhat.  * in 2 games that had over 200 and 147 compared to the 100's to 70's you have probable seen.   The Run D is far better than last seasons for sure.

 

I think the Bills can and should win.  I want revenge for the gale last season I sat through in the cold and rain.
