Free Pick: Buffalo Bills vs. Baltimore Ravens O51.5
This matchup between two teams in the top 5 of points scored this season has extensive injuries on both defenses.
Despite the potential for a sloppy field and minor-to-medium wind speeds, this matchup should result in a shootout.
Buffalo will potentially be down its two top safeties in Micah Hyde, who is on IR with a neck injury, and Jordan Poyer, who missed last week with a foot issue. The Bills are also down No. 1 corner Tre’Davious White and depth corner Christian Benford.
Dane Jackson, the slot corner who was hospitalized after a neck injury in Week 2, is listed as questionable and amazingly may suit up. Still, the weaknesses on defense are exploitable for Lamar Jackson, who tallied 318 passing yards Week 2 against the Dolphins and 206 yards last week in a win over the Patriots.
Baltimore also has issues in the secondary and are down both starting edge rushers.
That should allow Josh Allen plenty of time to find league-leading wideout Stefon Diggs.
The Bills has an offensive score of 92.7, while Baltimore has a defensive SIC score of 67.9.
The over in this game was our second suggested pick of the week, of six total through Saturday night.
