Best Bets For NFL Week 1: Baltimore Ravens Vs. Buffalo Bills - Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson
  • Josh Allen’s passing yard total is set at 238.5 yards.
  • Odds have set a 233.5 yard passing total for Lamar Jackson.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – An absolute banger of a matchup is set for Week 1 of Sunday Night Football between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills.

We’re looking at the massive quarterback battle in this one between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen and what their player props are on legal sports betting sites. We’ll take a look into each of their passing yard totals for SNF.

Josh Allen Comes Out Hot In Week 1

Josh Allen Passing Yard Total

  • Over 238.5 -114
  • Under 238.5 -114

Not only has Josh Allen done extremely well in Week 1 throughout his career, but he gets a juicy matchup against a Ravens secondary that was extremely vulnerable last season.

Starting with his Week 1 performances, over the last six seasons, he’s thrown for over 238.5 yards four times. However, he’s been in striking distance all six times, throwing for 232+ yards each time.

As for the matchup against the Ravens, their secondary allowed the second most passing yards to opposing quarterbacks at 244.1 yards allowed per game.

Last season, Josh Allen threw over his projected passing yard total seven times out of 20 games played and averaged 233.2 passing yards per game through 16 games played.

Bills Contain Lamar Through The Air

Lamar Jackson Passing Yard Total

  • Over 233.5
  • Under 233.5

Although the over is enticing given the circumstances and how dominant Jackson played last season, we need to fade it in Week 1.

In his career, Lamar Jackson has struggled against the Bills. In four games played against Buffalo, he has never surpassed 160 passing yards. The Buffalo defense is also coming off of a decent year against opposing QBs, having allowed just 226.1 passing yards per game.

Looking at his NFL betting odds from last season when they played Buffalo in the regular season, he had a 209.5 passing yard total set and stayed under with 156 passing yards.

The Ravens offense also heavily leans on the run as they were the number one rushing offense last year with 187.6 rush yards per game. That said, they may not need to lean on the pass game as much if they find success on the ground.
