If you’re a Baltimore Ravens fan, you’re probably still not over how the 2023 season concluded.
Baltimore, led by Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson, steamrolled its way to the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. The Ravens continued to dominate after a first-round bye, knocking out the Houston Texans, 34-10.
With Super Bowl aspirations, Baltimore had countless miscues that came back to cost the Ravens in its 17-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens headed into the offseason wondering what-if, the Chiefs went onto hoist another Lombardi Trophy.
Good news. The new NFL’s league year is here and the Ravens are expected to be right back in the mix for another deep postseason run.

Baltimore has one of NFL’s highest win totals for 2024
With Jackson back under center for the Ravens and the addition of two-time All-Pro running back Derrick Henry, Baltimore is one of the top betting picks to reach and win the Super Bowl.
For the season, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ravens are tied with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers for the league’s highest win total (over/under) at 11.5. The total is shaded slightly toward the under (-150).
Under longtime head coach John Harbaugh, the Ravens have gone over this win total four times (2010, 2011, 2019, 2023), including twice since Jackson took over for Joe Flacco as Baltimore’s starting quarterback.
Baltimore has won back-to-back division titles twice in franchise history (2011-2012 and 2018-2019) and oddsmakers are expecting it to happen for the third time this winter.
In the AFC North, according to FanDuel, the Cincinnati Bengals win total is set at 10.5, the Cleveland Browns are at 8.5 and the Pittsburgh Steelers are at 7.5. Baltimore is a slight favorite (+125) over Cincinnati (+165) to capture the AFC North crown.
AFC Championship rematch?
Long before the season kicks off, oddsmakers can see a potential AFC Championship game rematch based on the conference odds board.
Kansas City is the odds-on favorite ($100 bet to win $350) to win the AFC for the fifth time in six seasons. Baltimore is the second favorite at +460 ($100 bet wins $460), which carries an implied probability of 17.86% that the Ravens will reach the Super Bowl for the first time since winning the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy in 2012.
To win the Super Bowl, Baltimore is +900. That’s third on the odds board behind the Chiefs (+650) and the reigning NFC-champion San Francisco 49ers (+500).
