Key Contributors Toward Ravens Playoff Chances
QB Lamar Jackson just added his second league MVP trophy to his young career. The dual-threat QB will always be the engine of the Ravens offense. To add to the steady run game, veteran RB Derrick Henry will now be the focal point in the Ravens backfield. Henry is currently +6000 to win the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award. Rumors are that RB Justice Hill will have a prominent role behind Henry. Speaking of rumors, there has been consistent coach speak that the team is expecting WR Rashod Bateman to take a massive step forward and be a key piece of the passing game. It feels like it's now or never for Bateman and his contribution would be huge to go along with Zay Flowers entering his second season as a pro. A healthy Mark Andrews is a difference-maker for this offense, but Isaiah Likely is one of the best "backup" tight ends in the league.
Defensively, the hope is the loss of coordinator Mike MacDonald won't cause last year's league-leading unit to slip too far. Baltimore also lost key players through free agency and will turn to young players at important positions, such as linebacker Trenton Simpson and corner Nate Wiggins who was taken in the first round in this year's draft.
Where Can I Bet on the Ravens to Make the Playoffs?
Fans and bettors can already place a bet on the Ravens to make the playoffs. DraftKings Maryland currently lists playoff odds, as well as other top legal sportsbooks such as BetMGM and Caesars. Multiple Maryland sportsbooks were launched in the state in November 2022.
Looking Ahead: Ravens Playoff Picture
Considering the Ravens were the 1 seed last season, and are the odds on favorite to win the division again, it is likely that the Flock will be in the playoffs again this year.
Crazier things have happened, but the Ravens have been one of the more consistent franchises in recent league history.
Do the Ravens Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?
Yes, the Ravens have a chance to make the playoffs. As teams aim to improve their rosters this offseason, every team technically has a chance to make the playoffs.
Are the Ravens Out of Playoffs?
No, the Baltimore Ravens are not out of the playoffs.
Where Do the Ravens Rank in the AFC North?
The Ravens (+140) currently have the best chance of winning the AFC North. However, the AFC North is expected to be one of - if not the most competitive divisions in the NFL. In fact, three of the four teams in the division made the playoffs last season.
Here is how the AFC North odds look for the upcoming season:
- Baltimore Ravens (+140)
- Cincinnati Bengals (+170)
- Cleveland Browns (+550)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (+1100)
Where Do the Ravens Rank in the AFC Playoff Standings?
The Ravens won the AFC North last season and are the favorites to repeat as division champs in 2024. The Ravens Super Bowl odds reflect this as well, given they have the second-shortest odds among all AFC teams.
Who to Root for if You’re a Ravens Fan
When the season gets started, the best idea is to just root against divisional foes. So I would root for any team that plays against the Browns, Bengals, or Steelers.
Ravens Postseason Outlook and Predictions
I fully expect the Ravens to make the playoffs again next season. The bigger question will be if the team can make a run at the Super Bowl. The Ravens have not won the Super Bowl since 2013. Some fans are starting to wonder if Lamar Jackson is capable of winning multiple games in the post season.
