Josh Allen and the undefeated Bills will face their toughest test of the young season this weekend when they visit reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on Sunday Night Football. Buffalo hasn't missed a beat since Stefon Diggs departed for Houston, and Allen has enjoyed the best start of his illustrious, seven-year career. He's the odds-on favorite to win NFL MVP, but he might need to out-duel the defending MVP to stay atop the odds board.
That won't be an easy task. LJax now has the luxury of having two-time rushing champ Derrick Henry with him in the backfield. It might be the most lethal RPO scheme in NFL history — the best mobile QB of the generation paired with the most punishing, dominating power running back in today's game.
WATCH: Bills vs. Ravens live on Fubo (free trial) The Ravens may be 1-2, but they could still flirt with the top of the NFL power rankings with a win over Buffalo on national TV. Baltimore's losses came by a toe on opening night against the two-time defending-champion Chiefs and by a field goal to the surprising Raiders in Week 2.
Both Baltimore and Buffalo are coming off their best games yet. The Ravens bested the Cowboys, 28-25, in Arlington last week, while the Bills steamrolled the Jaguars, 47-10, on Monday Night Football. Could this be a preview of January's AFC Championship Game? Will the winning QB on Sunday Night Football assume the role of MVP favorite? Both seem like distinct possibilities, so needless to say this game could be one .
