Best Ravens-Bills Player Prop Bets

In the most anticipated matchup of NFL Divisional Weekend, the Ravens travel up north to Buffalo to get their playoff revenge. Lamar Jackson vs Josh Allen for a trip to the AFC Championship. The weather will surely be a factor as a real feel of -2 degrees at kickoff is projected. That won’t stop us from staying hot in the player prop betting department however as we enter this game with an overall 52-28 record on the season. There is money to be won in a playoff game which includes the top two MVP candidates and a specific running back that was built to play in a game like this.

Here are the best Ravens Bills prop bets I’ll be taking as the Ravens head up to Buffalo in a monster AFC Divisional matchup.

Let’s Stay Hot!

Best Ravens Bills Prop Bets

Derrick Henry O 96.5 Rushing Yards (-113 FanDuel)

Not much explanation is needed here as just about every stat and trend points to Derrick Henry having a monster game. In eight career playoff games, Henry averages roughly 115 yards per game on five yards per carry. In a game where the extreme temperatures will force both teams to win ugly, we can expect the Ravens to lean heavily on their run game again. And why not? Henry has averaged 158 rushing yards in the Ravens’ last four games. The Ravens offensive gameplan is no secret to anyone in the NFL, and yet they continue to be able to run the ball at will. Henry posted 199 rushing yards vs the Bills in the Week 4 matchup, and I’m confident he is well on his way to another 100+ rushing yard game. Games like these are why the Ravens brought the King into the castle.

BATTLE PLANS: How to Beat the Bills Defense

Derrick Henry O 19.5 Rushing Attempts (-113 FanDuel)

Our guy Charlie Kolar said it best on the sideline during last week’s game vs Pittsburgh. “They know we’re running it. Their moms know we’re running it, and they still can’t stop it.” The Ravens were heavily criticized, and rightfully so, for abandoning the run game in last year’s AFC Championship. What they did in response was go out and get Derrick Henry and ensure they never put themselves in a position where they feel they can’t lean on their run game. That has been the Ravens offensive identity since day one and now they have a future hall of famer at their disposal in the backfield. Anticipate the Ravens picking up where they left off last week and running the ball until the Bills prove they can stop it.

Justice Hill O 34.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards (-114 FanDuel)

Justice Hill has been one of the more underrated offensive weapons this season for the Ravens. He has taken his game to another level this season, and the Ravens have rewarded him with a new contract and a concrete role in the offense as the change of pace, 3^rd down back. In his return from a two-game absence due to a concussion, Hill received 10 touches. He was only able to accumulate 25 all purpose yards (and a touchdown), but to see the Ravens go right back to him was promising for his production moving forward. If Hill gets 10 touches again on Sunday, I am very confident in him being able to reach 35 all purpose yards as he has been very dynamic with the ball in his hands. Hill’s best game of the season arguably came in the Ravens first matchup vs Buffalo, where he racked up 96 all purpose yards and a touchdown. This feels like a good spot to take Hill off a down week.

Mark Andrews Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+280 FanDuel)

Mark Andrews is one of the most dynamic red zone threats in the NFL today. For a guy who had touchdowns in six straight games before last week, +280 is great value here. The emergence of Isaiah Likely, Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and the addition of Derrick Henry has allowed Andrews to not have to be the #1 target in the offense. They don’t rely on him to get the ball down the field, but they certainly do still rely on him in the red zone. Andrews’ elite connection with his draft buddy Lamar has evolved into them being able to play backyard ball better than any duo in the league. This lead to Andrews having a career high 11 touchdowns this season. I’m banking on Lamar to look his way once more in scoring position on Sunday. 

Lamar Jackson U 0.5 Interceptions (-174 ESPN Bet)

-174 is great value here for a quarterback who was the best in the league this season at protecting the ball. Lamar knows how costly turnovers can be in win or go home games as he alluded to in his press availability over the week, and his ability to stay out of harms way through the air has been a big reason why this Ravens offense has seen the success it has. If the Ravens can establish the run as well as they have in recent weeks, that will allow Lamar to dictate the whole tempo of the game and pick and choose his spots. You hear a lot how the game ‘slows down’ for Quarterbacks as their careers develop and we are witnessing that firsthand with Lamar. Lamar just needs to do what he has done all year, and the rest will take care of itself.
