The Ravens have to beat some elite teams

With Lamar Jackson in the lineup, the Baltimore Ravens are still considered one of the greatest teams in the league even if they lost some of their biggest players during free agency.

The only team in the NFL with a more difficult schedule is the rival Browns, thus the Ravens will have to establish their strength once more. It is quite difficult for this organization since Baltimore is playing ten different games against teams that advanced to the postseason the previous season.

Chiefs – L in Week 1

That’s some terrible luck to open the season versus Kansas City. Before Kansas City is completely in sync, the Ravens will have an opportunity to maybe steal a victory from Patrick Mahomes and take retribution from the AFC Championship game.

Because of their roster and the fact that they have faced bigger odds in the past, every team on Baltimore’s schedule will be anticipating the day they have to play the Ravens. Can the Ravens replicate last season’s amazing run, or maybe better it?

Still, beating Mahomes is a tall order. Doing so on the road to begin the season is even more challenging for Baltimore.

Week 2: Raiders: W

Lamar Jackson vs. either Gardner Minshew or Aidan O’Connell. No matter what you think of the Raiders beefing up some of the biggest holes on the roster, that stark difference in talent will be what ultimately decides this game.

Week 3: Cowboys – W

The Cowboys have a Top 10 quarterback in Dak Prescott and a defense with playmakers all around it, but Mike McCarthy is always prone to one or two slip-ups against elite competition. The Ravens could pilfer a win against Dallas, who chose not to sign Derrick Henry.

Week 4: Bills – L

Buffalo is a much worse team this season, but the Bills still have Josh Allen. While very inconsistent, he’s capable of turning on the jets against premier competition. The Ravens could overwhelm a weakened Bills defense, but Buffalo has enough talent to surprise them at home.

Week 5: Bengals – W

The Ravens may not sweep the Bengals, but it’s hard to envision a world where Baltimore fails to beat them at least once. The defense lost some big pieces, which could be key to Baltimore reeling off a win when they have home field on their side.

Week 6: Commanders – W

Jayden Daniels has oodles of potential in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense, but a rookie quarterback against one of the best teams in the league could be a recipe for disaster in the middle of his debut campaign.

Week 7: Buccaneers – W

Old division enemy Baker Mayfield has found a second chance at success in Tampa Bay after winning a playoff game, but the gap in talent between the Buccaneers’ offense and the Ravens’ MVP-led attack may ultimately become the difference maker.

Week 8: Browns – W

The Browns and Ravens are perfectly set up for old-school AFC North slobber knockers, though the Ravens have better offensive personnel. If Baltimore’s new-look offensive line can hold a solid Cleveland front seven at bay, the Ravens should win this.

Week 9: Broncos – W

The Broncos are beginning a very long rebuild, and one stage of that rebuild may entail putting Bo Nix out there against an elite defense and the always lethal Jackson.

Week 10: Bengals – L

Joe Burrow is good enough to where the Ravens can’t expect to simply bulldoze their AFC North rivals twice in the same season despite the superior roster. In a very tough division, Baltimore’s performance against Cincinnati could decide the winner.

Cincy may win this contender showdown with a great performance or two from Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.

Steelers – Losing in Week 11

Since Pittsburgh has one of the strongest defenses in the league, Jackson has frequently had his worst games against them. They might become more reliable enough to defeat Baltimore at home with the departure of Kenny Pickett and the signing of Russell Wilson.

Week 12: Losing Chargers

It seems plausible that the MVP-caliber quarterback who commits fewer errors will win the Harbaugh Bowl. Considering the stronger offensive line of Baltimore and Greg Roman’sThe Ravens have more support for Jackson because of Greg Romanness.

Even though the Chargers are a massive team, they are currently dozing off.

Week 13: Eagles: L

Right before the bye, the Ravens might have trouble bulldozing an Eagles team that started to show some vulnerable signs down the stretch despite a talented quarterback like Jalen Hurts at the helm.

Week 15: Giants: W

The Giants have a threadbare roster that is regarded as one of the worst in the league, and Daniel Jones is no longer going to be the force multiplier they believed he would be. Jackson and the Ravens should still be big favorites.

Week 16: Steelers – W

The Steelers are going to be a formidable challenge after their upgrades at quarterback, but a Ravens team that has superior skill position talent and a defense that can cancel out Pittsburgh’s quality unit should be able to pick up a win in friendly confines.

Week 17: Texans – W

Houston is the new flavor of the month across the league, as CJ Stroud is fresh off one of the greatest rookie seasons in NFL history. Even with Stefon Diggs in town, the defense is weak enough for Jackson heater and old-school Derrick Henry domination to carry them to a win on Christmas.

Week 18: Browns- W

That Cleveland defense is as nasty as they come in the league, but the struggles of Deshaun Watson are so concerning that it will be tough to envision them knocking off Baltimore and winning the division.

If the Ravens are to sweep any division rival this year, the Browns seem most likely.
