This Sunday, football fans across the land will be treated to what should be a spectacular matchup in the divisional round between the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens.
It will pit perhaps the two frontrunners for this season’s MVP award — quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson — against each other, and some are even calling it a Super Bowl-worthy matchup.
Fox Sports 1 personality Skip Bayless said on “The Skip Bayless Show” that he is confident the Ravens will not only defeat the Bills in upstate New York but go on to the Super Bowl while calling them “overpoweringly dominant.”

For years, the Ravens have been competitive with Jackson under center, but they lacked that next-level offense that they needed to get over the hump in January.
This offseason, they appeared to rectify that problem by signing star running back Derrick Henry in free agency, and Henry responded with a season to remember: 1,921 rushing yards, an NFL-high 16 rushing touchdowns and 5.9 yards per carry.
In their 28-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the playoffs, he ran amok for 186 yards and two touchdowns on just 26 carries.
He has taken lots of pressure off of Jackson, who put forth a career-best effort this year with 4,172 passing yards, 41 passing touchdowns, 915 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.
Allen has also had an outstanding year, and while Buffalo running back James Cook scored 16 rushing touchdowns of his own, Baltimore simply seems to have more offensive weapons than Buffalo.
This game, which will take place on Sunday evening on the East Coast, could turn into a classic.
