01/13/2025 09:36 AM
Fans should be in for a treat in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs this week.
With the Ravens taking care of business against the Steelers and the Bills making easy work of the Broncos, two of the league's most exciting teams are set to square off on Sunday with a trip to the conference championship on the line.
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore offense got the better of Josh Allen and Buffalo earlier this season when they blew the Bills out 35-10 back in Week 4.
Derrick Henry ran wild on the Buffalo defense and the Bills offense just couldn't seem to get anything going throughout the entire night. But in the words of the great Chris Berman: "No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!"
On Monday, ESPN Analytics released its prediction for the big time playoff matchup and the computer can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
Per the Football Power Index, each team has a 50% chance to win and move one step closer to a potential Super Bowl berth. Although according to ESPN BET, the Bills are viewed as one-point underdogs.
Both squads are led by two of the leading MVP candidates this season in Jackson and Allen.
And while statistically Lamar's numbers are a cut above Josh's in almost every category, what Allen's been able to do to lift the Bills to the No. 2 seed without the elite weapons of the past has been very impressive.
We'll find out which QB can make the strongest case come this weekend when the two sides meet at Highmark Stadium at 6:30 PM ET on CBS.
