The Buffalo Bills will travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in a possible playoff preview. Both teams were expected to be Super Bowl contenders before the season began, adding extra excitement to this game.

Buffalo started the year 3-0, despite a few injuries and an inexperienced wing core. They have dominated in recent weeks, reminding many that they are still a force to be contended with in the AFC.

The Ravens’ record is 1-2 this season. They got a big win on the road against the Dallas Cowboys last week, but lost a big lead in the fourth quarter.

Baltimore was a little shaky to start the new year, but it won’t take one game for some teams to catch fire. A win over the Bills would go a long way toward getting their season back on track.

So who will win this AFC showdown? Newsweek Sports has provided you with expert predictions on how we think the game will play out.

Matt Levine: The Bills have looked like one of the better teams in the entire league so far, but this game against Baltimore will be telling. If they could rally to beat the Ravens, that would certainly be a big statement. However, the Ravens seemed to find some footing last week against Dallas and despite the near collapse, they persevered. Baltimore capitalizes on this win, keeping the momentum going and getting a huge win over Buffalo.

Prediction: Ravens 31, Bills 28

Valentina Martinez: The matchup is a major AFC showdown. The Buffalo Bills can extend their unbeaten streak to 4-0, but I believe their efforts will be undone by Lamar Jackson and company.

Prediction: Ravens 28, Bills 26

Ricardo Sandoval: The Baltimore Ravens are looking for their second straight win after a thriller in Dallas. The Ravens struggled to maintain a lead earlier this season, but they may have found something last week. Josh Allen and the Bills will look to remain undefeated and have one of the stronger offenses. However, on the road against a hostile Ravens defense and a strong crowd, the Ravens will take advantage.

Prediction: Ravens 33, Bills 28

John Robinson: The Ravens use their running game to take advantage of an average group of Buffalo linebackers. This game will last until the fourth quarter, but Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will make enough plays to get the win.

Prediction: Ravens 27, Bills 20

Eva Geitheim: The Bills win because Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense are the best of any team right now. They are coming off a win over a Ravens team that was pretty inconsistent early in the season.

Prediction: Bills 30, Ravens 24

Jeremy Hanna: This will be the best game of the week. Two incredible defenses, two incredible offenses and two incredible quarterbacks. Still, I can’t help but think this is the Bills’ year. It can go either way, but Buffalo will come out on top. Barely.

Prediction: Bills 20, Ravens 17
