The Baltimore Ravens finished the 2023 regular season with the best record in the NFL at 13-4, earning them a 1st-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. After beating the upstart Houston Texans 34-10 in the divisional round, they were defeated in the AFC Conference title game 17-10 by the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
QB Lamar Jackson had a memorable 2023 season, winning the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award for the 2nd time (2019). He finished with 3,678 passing yards, 24 TDs and 7 INTs. He added another 821 yards on the ground with 5 more TDs.
Baltimore was relatively quiet in free agency which isn’t surprising for this organization. While they let RBs Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins walk, the Ravens signed 2-time NFL rushing champ Derrick Henry. Having Lamar and Henry in the same backfield has to strike fear into opposing defenses.
This team have a lot of expectations heading into the 2024 season and need their franchise quarterback to take another leap and get them to a Super Bowl. Baltimore has not represented the AFC in the Super Bowl since beating the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in 2013.

Ravens over/under win total
Odds provided byFanDuel Sportsbook – last updated May 22 at 6:35 a.m. ET; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hubfor a full list.
- 11.5 wins: (Over: +132 | Under: -162)
According to the Sharp Football Analysis, which based its calculations off the Vegas Forecasted Win Totals, the Ravens have the 4th-toughest schedule in the NFL. Their implied line of 11.3 wins is exactly the same as projections by most sportsbooks.
After perusing the schedule for Baltimore, there are very few weak spots for them pad their win total. We’ll find out a lot about the Ravens early on, as they play 3 playoff teams from 2023 in their first 4 games including the defending champs to open the season.
This team will have a target on their back, especially in the AFC North which is incredibly daunting. Every team in the division had a winning record and 3 of the 4 teams made the playoffs. Cincinnati, which missed by a game, will bounce back with a healthy QB Joe Burrow; QB Deshaun Watson is back to lead the Browns in 2024, while the Steelers brought in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to right the ship at QB.
Baltimore has 5 prime-time games, including 1 on Christmas Day. Twice on their schedule the Ravens will have to play 2 games in 4 days. That’s going to be a lot for a team whose offense relies so heavily on the ground game.
The Ravens did lose some key pieces on the defensive side of the ball which will be tough to replace in LB Patrick Queen and DE Jadeveon Clowney. But they did lock up stud DT Justin Madubuike to a long-term deal and welcomed back CB Arthur Maulet for 2 more years as well.
Jackson was special last season, but can he bring that magic back with a slightly different cast of characters? No WR Odell Beckham Jr. means they need former 1st-round pick WR Rashod Bateman to take that next step and for WR Zay Flowers to improve upon a fantastic rookie season (77 catches, 858 yards, 5 TDs).
My lean is to the Under, but I’m not going to bet it at -162. I’ve got the Ravens getting to 10 or 11 wins and battling with the Bengals for that AFC North title. My advice is to PASS on this wager and move on.
Ravens Super Bowl odds
- +950 (bet $100 to win $950)
Only the 2 teams that played in last year’s Super Bowl have better odds to win this year than the Ravens — the San Francisco 49ers (+550) and Kansas City Chiefs (+600). There is a reason they are in such good company, this is a great organization from the front office to the coaching staff to the players on the field.
When you pay top dollar for your leader on offense (Jackson) and your leader on defense, LB Roquan Smith, it forces an organization to make tough choices in the offseason, but from all accounts, the Ravens made the right ones. They let LB Patrick Queen walk, but did pony up to keep Madubuike. While Edwards and Dobbins were terrific, RB Derrick Henry will fill that role nicely for this team going forward.
As a lifelong Washington football fan, I’ve watched a terrible organization operate for 20+ years while seeing another team just 45 minutes away, be the gold standard for how to run a successful franchise. It’s incredibly annoying.
As much as I like Lamar as a player, I just don’t know if he can get past Mahomes and the Chiefs, which is why I’m not going to recommend you not make this bet. PASS.
Will Ravens make the playoffs?
- Yes -260 | No +205
The Ravens have made the playoffs 5 of the last 6 seasons. I would be stunned if they did not make it in 2024 barring an unexpected season-ending injury to Jackson.
Despite the confidence in Baltimore to make the postseason, risking more than 2 1/2 times your potential return and tying that money up for several months just doesn’t make any sense. There are better values and futures bets elsewhere, for the Ravens, or other teams, too.
PASS.
Odds to win AFC North Division
- Ravens +140 (bet $100 to win $140)
- Bengals +170 (bet $100 to win $170)
- Browns +500 (bet $100 to win $500)
- Steelers +650 (bet $100 to win $650)
The common belief around the league is that the Ravens primary challenger for the AFC North crown will be the Cincinnati Bengals, just 2 years removed from losing in the Super Bowl and with Burrow back healthy.
The Browns and Steelers also made significant strides to improve this offseason, but this division will come down Baltimore and Cincinnati battling it out. I will definitely bet the RAVENS (+140) TO WIN THE AFC NORTH.

Ravens odds to win AFC
- +490 (bet $100 to win $490)
According to the odds, it’s basically a 2-horse race for the right to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl — the Chiefs (+370) and Ravens (+490).
The Chiefs are the new Patriots, they are the dynasty now in the NFL whether we like it or not. There’s an old saying, to be the man, you’ve got to beat the man and it could not be more true here. It all comes down to whether we believe Jackson can best Mahomes in the playoffs and I don’t personally think he can. Between his skill set, which is amazing, to the cast of characters around him, it would be an incredible feat for Baltimore.
The odds aren’t bad for you to take a shot in the dark that Lamar can pull it out, but I’m going to say PASS on this wager.
