NFL Look-Ahead Lines

When it comes to betting on Sunday Night Football and look-ahead lines for NFL Week 4 odds, the Ravens vs. Bills represents one of the most intriguing contests on the board. Despite Baltimore’s struggles In Week 1 and 2, these teams were considered two heavyweight AFC contenders entering this season. Sportsbooks had Baltimore as a 1.5-point favorite for this home game against Buffalo on Friday.

The action begins on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Exploring NFL Opening Odds AKA Look-Ahead Lines For Week 4

Most online sportsbooks have NFL look-ahead lines readily available. Customers can wager on Week 4 games before many of the Week 3 games are underway. Granted, betting look-ahead lines can present some risk. Lingering variables, like injuries, can happen in Week 3 that impact the handicap and betting lines for Week 4. Results from previous games can also impact teams’ power ratings while altering point spreads.

When handicapping this AFC tilt, I’d prefer to wait until both teams wrap up their respective Week 3 matchups. Let’s say Lamar Jackson and Co. lose their third straight game to the hands of the Cowboys, and Buffalo starts 3-0.

This line could shift toward a pick’em or potentially favor the Bills if Josh Allen torches Jacksonville’s banged-up secondary on Monday night.

In that case, I would likely bet on Baltimore in a prime buy-low, sell-high spot. But nothing is decided yet, so do not assume the Ravens are worth betting on now. If the opposite occurs, Baltimore could inch closer to -2.5 when the spread reopens.
