NFL predictions: 3 underdogs set to surprise for Bills vs. Ravens

The Buffalo Bills return after an early bye and carry a strong post-bye trend: since 2018, they’re 8-0 in games after the break with Josh Allen, a mark tied to former coach Sean McDermott. With Joe Brady as the new head coach, Buffalo starts a fresh post-bye chapter against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. Baltimore enters following a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and faces the league’s top-scoring offense. The preview suggests Sunday could become a high-scoring game, but also highlights alternate outcomes such as a low-scoring 9-6 style result if defenses take over. The piece includes a “bold” option involving Bills tight end Jackson Hawes, noting his limited receiving production this season and status considerations around Dalton Kincaid.
