The Baltimore Ravens have reportedly turned the tides when it comes to the betting lines for Sunday's divisional round matchup vs. the Bills.
The AFC North champs travel to Upstate New York for what's sure to be one of the best games of the playoffs . And despite opening as one-point underdogs on the road, Lamar Jackson and Co. will now enter Highmark Stadium as the favorites.
Per ESPN's David Payne Purdum : "The Baltimore Ravens are now consensus 1-point favorites over the Buffalo Bills. ... Bills opened as small favorites."

Bills opened as small favorites.
The Ravens beat the Bills 35-10 back in Week 4. Something Bills quarterback Josh Allen talked about with CBS' Tracy Wolfson after Buffalo's Wild Card win.
"They got after us earlier this year, so we've got a lot of film to watch," Allen said. "A great team, a great quarterback, Lamar [Jackson], what he's able to do. He's one of the most dynamic if not the most dynamic, quarterback in the league. He's so fun to watch, but I'll be watching their defense this week."
The last time these two met in the playoffs however, it was the Bills that came away with a 17-3 victory back in 2020.
Both teams figure to be legitimate challengers to the Chiefs' back-to-back Super Bowl defense and would meet Kansas City in the AFC Championship should Kansas City advance past the Houston Texans.
Lamar and Josh are two of the NFL's leading MVP candidates this year and for good reason.
Jackson is responsible for 45 total touchdowns with just four interceptions, while Allen lifted the "rebuilding" Bills to one of the league's best records behind his 50 total TDs.
