Baltimore Ravens vs Buffalo Bills preview: Date, kick-off time, news, prediction and how to watch the NFL on DAZN

Week 1 brings us a marquee showdown, as the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills renew hostilities in a rematch of last season's Divisional Round playoff clash.

Here's everything you need to know about this titanic Week 1 matchup.

Ravens vs Bills date, start time

Two giants collide here, as Lamar Jackson and the Ravens chase revenge against Josh Allen’s Bills.

The dual-threat skills of Jackson complement an offense dripping with talent, as running back Derrick Henry, wideout Zay Flowers, and tight end Mark Andrews return to face their AFC East foes.

Allen does more with less, but will count on the help of talented running back James Cook, who signed a huge extension in the summer.

Roquan Smith and Kyle Hamilton, now the highest-paid safety in league history, anchor a fierce Ravens defense capable of stifling even the potent Buffalo offense.

Meanwhile, the Bills' defense, led by Ed Oliver and Greg Rousseau, is equally capable of beating anyone at their best.

A playoff rematch, two Super Bowl contenders - this is must-watch football.

• Date: Monday, September 8 (BST) / Sunday, September 7 (ET and PT)
• Kick-off: 1.20am BST / 8.20pm ET / 5.20pm PT

Prediction

Jackson looks in mid-season form, Baltimore kicks their season off with a revenge win, and the home crowd is left stunned as the Ravens extend the all-time series to 8-6.

Henry is a one-man wrecking crew, bulldozing his way to a 100-yard game and at least one touchdown behind talented left tackle Ronnie Stanley.

The Bills' offense delivers plenty of highlight plays, and Allen shines brightly, but Buffalo's defense cannot contain its opponents.
