Viewing Details for Bills vs. Ravens: TV Channel, Time, and Predictions
With the Chiefs’ Week 1 loss, the winner of Ravens-Bills will likely be seen as the AFC frontrunner
Week 1 of the 2025 regular NFL season will feature a prime time matchup involving two elite teams. The Ravens are set to face the Bills in a game that also serves as a rematch of last year’s thrilling playoff clash.
Buffalo’s 27-25 victory last year marked another playoff disappointment for the Ravens during the Lamar Jackson era. That loss is notably remembered for tight end Mark Andrews’ missed two-point conversion in the final moments, which would have tied the game.
This season, both teams aim to shake off their reputations as top-tier teams that consistently fall short in the playoffs. Together with the Chiefs, the Ravens and Bills have stood out as the three best teams in the AFC in recent years, a narrative that continues as the 2025 season kicks off. Following the Chiefs’ loss to the Chargers, the winner of this game will likely take the lead in the AFC.

Bills vs. Ravens: Need to know
MVP vs. MVP. This contest will showcase the NFL’s last two league MVPs, Jackson and Allen. Despite a standout performance, Jackson lost the MVP title last season to Allen, whose recognition was due in part to operating with less support.
Fewest mistakes wins. Andrews’ critical drop and three turnovers, including a fumble by Andrews, were key factors in the previous matchup. Turnovers have been a primary issue keeping the Ravens from reaching a Super Bowl during Jackson’s tenure.
New era. After 13 seasons with Justin Tucker, the Ravens will debut new kicker Tyler Loop, who previously had an impressive field goal success rate at Arizona.
Bills vs. Ravens prediction, pick
The Bills, led by Allen, are formidable, especially in front of a home crowd. However, the Ravens are regarded as the stronger team this season and should win if they minimize mistakes that cost them previously.
Expect significant contributions from Jackson and Derrick Henry, who last year experienced one of the best rushing seasons in NFL history. Additionally, Baltimore’s revamped defense, which includes new talents Malaki Starks and Mike Green, is expected to bolster their playoff aspirations.
Pick: Ravens 27, Bills 20
