Buffalo Bills (2-1) at Baltimore Ravens (2-1)

Sunday, October 2, 1PM ET

It’s very clear at this point that MVP Lamar Jackson is back. So far this season, Jackson is up to 12 total touchdowns offensively (10 passing, two rushing) and he’s run for over 100 yards in consecutive games. He’s putting the Ravens on his back but he’s also got some good help around him with star tight end Mark Andrews and an emerging WR1 in Rashod Bateman.

The Ravens currently have the number one scoring offense in the NFL at 33 points per game. They are doing this while ranking just 26th in the league in pass attempts but first overall in total passing touchdowns. Back in Jackson’s MVP season in 2019, the Ravens ranked dead last in pass attempts but first overall in touchdowns as well. They won a lot of games that year, and if Jackson keeps up this pace, they’re going to win a lot of games this year, as well.

This game is not just a matchup of two former first-round picks and MVP candidates from the same draft class. This could be a preview of the AFC Championship game with two teams led by quarterbacks that can absolutely take over with both their arm and their legs.

Josh Allen and the Bills had 90 plays and over 500 yards of offense against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3 go to waste as they were only able to put up 17 points with two more coming courtesy of the Dolphins’ butt punt. Can the Bills get back on track after looking like the NFL’s most unstoppable force in Weeks 1 and 2? Will Lamar Jackson and the Ravens prove to be too tough of a test?

This is the best game of the week and must-see TV for every football fan.

Prediction: Ravens win 34-30
