Even though the Buffalo Bills have a better record than the Baltimore Ravens, they’re the underdogs in this matchup. The Bills are home underdogs for the first time in a long time, which means they could head into this game with a chip on their shoulder.

Excluding a Week 18 defeat with backups in for most of the contest, the Bills have only lost one game since Week 6, a road matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Nonetheless, oddsmakers undoubtedly factored in the Bills’ 35-10 road loss to the Ravens in Week 4.

With a couple of additions and returning players for the Bills, Hanford and O’Donnell like Buffalo to avenge its regular-season loss to Baltimore.

Wes: Let’s start with what we saw this year: The Ravens beat the Bills in Baltimore 35-10 back in Week 4. Derrick Henry ran for 199 yards in that game. The Ravens brought in Henry for games like that and, more importantly, this playoff game. Is that enough to warrant 1.5 points on the road against a Bills team that lost only one meaningful game in its last 12?

Ian: While I understand it, I’m still shocked to see Buffalo as an underdog in a home playoff game. That hasn’t happened to the Bills since 1967. The Bills certainly left a lot to be desired in the Week 4 blowout, and this is a Ravens team that has won five straight games by at least 14 points, but I find it hard to believe Josh Allen won’t use that lopsided loss as extra motivation this time around. They’ll need to make some adjustments, though, namely against Derrick Henry. How do you see them doing that?

ATS Consensus: Bills +1.5

Score Prediction: Bills 31, Ravens 28
