The has been released, and now its time to dig in.Though the Ravens are estimated to have the second-toughest slate of the ,there are still plenty of winnable games for a team that considers itself a Super Bowl contender. Or at least they should be winnable if the Ravens are a serious contender.Heres their regular season schedule, with predictions of which games are winnable and which look like lo ses.Week 1, 9 Ryan Braun Jersey /5 at KC, 8:20 Lo s:Itll be tough for the Ravens to go into Kansas City, where they havent won since 2012, and beat a Chiefs team riding the emotional wave of unveiling another Super Bowl banner. (0-1)Week 2, 9/15 vs. LV, 1:00 Win: The Raiders are in a rebuilding year, and the Ravens should be fired up for their first home game of the season. (1-1)Week 3, 9/22 at DAL, 4:25 Win: The vibes in Dallas are just a little off heading into this season, and if the Ravens offensive line can hold up against the Cowboys pa s rush, Baltimore should be Travis Shaw Jersey able to steal a win. (2-1)Week 4, 9/29 vs. BUF, 8:20 Win: Who is Josh Allen throwing to this year? Baltimores defense should keep this one low-scoring (3-1)Week 5, 10/6 at CIN, 1:00 Lo s: The Ravens beat the Bengals twice last year, but the first was in Week 2, when Cincinnati was figuring things out, and the second came when Joe Burrow was already out. The Bengals get revenge here at home. (3-2)Week 6, 10/13 vs. WAS, 1:00 Win: Given how hard the Ravens schedule is this year, this is the type of game they have to win. (4-2)Week 7, 10/21 at TB, 8:15 Win: The Bucs wont be an easy out, but with an extra day of rest in what should be warm weather, the Ravens take care of busine s. (5-2)Week 8, 10/27 at CLE, 1:00 Lo s: Division games are tough and road division games are tougher. If Cleveland stays healthy this year, theyll contend for the AFC North. (5-3)Week 9, 11/ 3 vs. DEN, 1:00 Win: It might get ugly for the Broncos this year, and the Ravens dont even have to play them at altitude. (6-3)Week 10, 11/7 vs. CIN, 8:15 Win: The Lorenzo Cain Jersey Ravens avenge their October lo s in Cincinnati by defending home turf. (7-3)Week 11, 11/17 at PIT, 1:00 Win: Pittsburgh could be improved this year, but this just feels like a year where Baltimore gets back at the Steelers for two lo ses in 2023. (8-3)Week 12, 11/25 at LAC, 8:15 Win: Jim Harbaugh took over the Chargers and stripped that roster down. Itll be a while before theyre competitive again. (9-3)Week 13, 12/1 vs. PHI, 4:25 Lo s: A short week and the week before the Bye catches up to the Ravens here. (9-4)Week 14: BYEWeek 15, 12/15 at NYG, 1:00 Win: Coming off a bye, at a time of year when the playoffs may be out-of-reach for a should-be easy opponent. (10-4)Week 16, Yovani Gallardo Jersey 12/21: vs. PIT, 4:30 Lo s: The Steelers get revenge for Baltimore stealing one in Pittsburgh earlier in the year. (10-5)Week 17, 12/25: at HOU, 4:30 Lo s: This is a brutal stretch of the schedule for the Ravens, with three games in 10 days. It catches up on Christmas. (10-6)Week 18, TBD: vs. CLE, TBD Win: The Ravens end the season on a high note and beat a division rival in what could be a very meaningful final game of the regular season. (11-6)So if our predictions are correct, the Ravens will go 11-6 Keon Broxton Jersey a solid regular season record, even if its worse from last year.The Ravens schedule is brutal, with tough opponents, a late bye, and a crammed schedule at the end of the season, when everyone is hurting. Still, with the Raven Way, John Harbaughs coaching, and the top-end talent of the roster, the Ravens should be in contention to win their division. |
