The Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are set to face off against each other in the divisional round this weekend.
In what feels like it should be an AFC Championship matchup, one of these teams will go home with a very sour taste in their mouth after a great season.
The quarterback matchup between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson is likely to be a very exciting one, as these two are the top MVP candidates this season.
Former NFL player and current analyst Mark Schlereth believes he would take Jackson over Allen in this matchup.
“For this particular game, I would take Lamar. It has to do with weather conditionss and the style of play,” Schlereth said Thursday morning on Fox Sports’s “Breakfast Ball.”

Schlereth cited the matchup between both teams back in Week Four as a potential reason for picking Jackson and Baltimore in this rematch.
In the matchup earlier in the season, the Ravens won dominantly by a score of 35-10.
The Ravens recorded 427 yards of total offense and 271 rushing yards.
Buffalo likes to play defense with more defensive backs on the field than not, which lessens the pass-rush and the run defense.
If Jackson has time to move around and even escape the pocket, it could be lights out for the Bills, knowing how tough it is to contain the two-time MVP.
Regardless of what any analyst says, this game can be fantastic because of who plays under center for both teams.
