Story summary

On November 1, 2026, the Buffalo Bills (5-1) will host the Baltimore Ravens (4-3) at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. This matchup features a heated rivalry between quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, who have been selected as top draft picks in 2018 and have faced each other seven times before, with Allen leading the series 4-3. Jackson returns from injury for this game after missing three weeks.

Oddsmakers predict an explosive contest with a high point total of 54.5 points, reflecting both quarterbacks' offensive prowess. The Bills, fresh off their bye week, are favored by three points over the Ravens, who have struggled without Jackson in recent games. The last meeting between these teams ended in a close 41-40 victory for Buffalo in September 2025.

Fans can watch the game at 1 p.m. ET on CBS or via DIRECTV's five-day free trial livestream option. This clash could have significant implications for both teams' playoff aspirations, with the Bills leading the AFC East and the Ravens battling to stay competitive in a crowded division.
