Anytime Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson face off, football fans are in for a treat. When they collide in Week 1 of Sunday Night Football, expect surprises. Their playmaking skills create opportunities for longshot bets, and the SportsLine model has identified lucrative options for the upcoming Bills vs. Ravens game set at 8:20 p.m. ET in Orchard Park.
One standout longshot is Ravens receiver Rashod Bateman, projected to score an anytime touchdown with favorable odds of +270 (risk $100 to win $270). Last season, he recorded nine touchdowns and added two more in the playoffs, including one against Buffalo, highlighting his scoring potential.
Another key bet includes Ray Davis for an anytime touchdown at +550 odds, reflecting his role as a backup running back who already has postseason scoring experience against the Ravens.
Lastly, a parlay bet on the Bills’ money line and an over on 50.5 points is listed at +300, considering the offensive potency both teams exhibited last season. The model anticipates the Bills winning 54% of its simulations, thus revealing a high probability of substantial returns.
