Ravens vs Bills Divisional Playoffs Top 5 Anytime Touchdown Picks

Amari Cooper +500
When the Bills acquired Amari Cooper, he was expected to be the top pass-catching option in Buffalo's aerial assault. He hasn't reached those forecasted heights but is a top longshot touchdown bet in the Divisional Round.

Cooper is priced at a distant +500 to score against the Ravens; however, his usage metrics support that his odds of scoring are much better than that. The five-time Pro Bowl receiver is usually on the field for at least half of the Bills' offensive snaps. Further, he gets regular looks from Allen in the passing game. Cooper has three or more targets in five of his past seven, hauling in 17 of 28 passes over that stretch.

Baltimore's secondary is prone to mistakes. With Marlon Humphrey likely dedicated to Khalil Shakir, we could see Cooper take on a more significant role in the Divisional Round. Cooper is our preferred longshot bet to score on Sunday.

Josh Allen +105
The Buffalo Bills will need to employ a win-at-all-cost type mentality if they hope to escape their Divisional Round matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. That will undoubtedly include getting Josh Allen out of the pocket and moving downfield as they try to form fissures in the Ravens' defense. With that, Allen is a prime plus-money any time touchdown candidate.

Allen hasn't been shy when it comes to playing the ground game. The MVP candidate has toted the ball 40 times across his past five contests, averaging 6.0 yards per carry. More importantly, he's used those rushing attempts to put valuable points on the board. Allen has found the end zone six times across the five-game sample, albeit with five of those scores coming in just two games.

We foresee Allen using his legs frequently in the Divisional Round, whether by design or necessity.

Lamar Jackson +185
Of course, Josh Allen isn't the only quarterback who's going to get out and run on Sunday. Lamar Jackson's reputation was built on his dual-threat abilities, and we expect him to flash his full potential against at Highmark Stadium.

Jackson is the most mobile quarterback in the NFL. He led signal-callers in rushing yards and rushing attempts this season, accumulating 915 and 139, respectively. While his touchdown metrics were sub-optimal, Jackson should see a natural increase in scoring by virtue of his high-volume approach.

We saw Bo Nix roam freely in the Wild Card Round, boding well for Jackson on Sunday. At the current price, we see plenty of upside in backing the Ravens' quarterback to score.

Mark Andrews +165
After an injury-plagued 2023 season, Mark Andrews responded with an improved effort this year. While his yardage total was well off his previous career-best, Andrews set a new high mark in receiving touchdowns. Without Zay Flowers, his outlook is equally as promising against the Bills.

The Ravens' tight end crossed the plane 11 times this season, taking on a more prominent role in recent weeks. Before the Wild Card Round, Andrews had recorded a touchdown in six straight games, cementing his position as Jackson's pre-eminent red zone target.

His tepid start is a distant memory and Andrews has reclaimed his spot as a premier tight end. The price doesn't reflect it, but we see him as a virtual lock to score on Sunday.

Isaiah Likely +280
The tight end theme continues as we highlight Isaiah Likely's touchdown prowess and value in the any time touchdown market.

Prior to Mark Andrews' resurgence, Likely had become a football magnet in the red zone. Six of Likely's 42 catches this season have been touchdown receptions. It might seem counterintuitive, but Likely has remained a reliable red zone target in conjunction with Andrews' rise. The third-year pro has scored in three of his previous six contests, acting as a solid 1B option in the Ravens' passing attack.

Savvy bettors might see value in taking a position on both Andrews and Likely. In that way, they can ensure that both of Jackson's top red zone targets are in play.
