A win is a win, and Baltimore has two of them so far this season; both in an ugly fashion.  The Ravens seek their third in a row this Sunday at 1 PM ET when they visit the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium, in the NFL’s week 4.

The biggest thing for the Ravens is to maintain what they’ve done over the last two weeks.  Their defense hasn’t allowed a touchdown in two games, and that seems to be the key for the wins. Last week against the Texans they held them to nine points and won the game with defensive and special team plays.

“They’ve played two weeks now where they haven’t given up a touchdown,” said quarterback Joe Flacco. “That’s pretty good. You’re going to have a tough time losing when that happens.”

On offense Baltimore has plenty of work to do.  Joe Flacco is not comfortable with the loss of key players; he has thrown three touchdowns and two interceptions so far in three weeks.

Their best chance to win comes from their running game, especially because the Bills are 30th stopping the run with 155 yards allowed per game.

Ravens running back Ray Rice missed last week game against Houston and is now listed as questionable for Sunday.  If he can’t go, then, Bernard Pierce will take the carries.

The Bills lost to the Jets last week 27-20 in week 3 because they left too many plays on the field and committed too many mistakes in the process.

“Some of the mistakes we made were terrible, myself included,” center Eric Wood said. “We obviously have to bounce back, but that was a game we kind of threw away.”

The Ravens are 3 point favorites as visitors in the NFL betting odds.
