Bills vs. Ravens position-by-position breakdown: Which team has the edge in 2025 AFC divisional-round game?
‘Folks, there is a reason that the MVP race this year is so close. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson were the two best players in the NFL this season. I’m not sure anyone else was all that close. They each then played terrific games in the first week of the playoffs. They have remarkably similar skill sets for players who are built so differently — they can absolutely annihilate you from the pocket when well protected, and they will destroy your defense and stick a dagger in your heart if they “have to” create outside of structure. They are the two best running quarterbacks in the league, but they do their damage in entirely different ways. If you think there is a clear advantage on either side of the ball here, I think you’re crazy.’

Heavy snow will favor Bills over Ravens because of Josh Allen’s superhuman plays in inclement weather
‘Josh Allen, the Bills QB, has a track record of excelling in freezing conditions, with a 9-1 record in games at or below 32°F. His dual-threat ability to both pass and run makes him particularly dangerous in these environments. Notably, in a snowy game against the 49ers last month, Allen became the first quarterback in NFL history to record passing, rushing, and receiving touchdowns all in the same game.’
Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen: Which QB is under more pressure to win Super Bowl in 2025 NFL playoffs?
‘If the Ravens lose at Buffalo, it would likely be because of their defense breaking down against Allen and his weapons.

Opinion: Ravens at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘There’s no easy or right answer here, but if they let the Ravens – with either or both of these players – control the game on the ground, that will keep the Bills off-balance on defense, not allowing them to attack upfield. That would also allow Baltimore to control the clock and keep Josh Allen and the Bills offense off the field.’

It’s just better to accept the reality that the bills are the best,” jokingly stated Rev. Breese in an interview with WBEN.’
