Here is how our FOX Sports talent sees the Ravens’ season playing out.
Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sam Panayotovich: Ravens Over 10.5 wins
Baltimore’s offense will be a lot more versatile this season with the additions of wide recievers Odell Beckham Jr. and rookie Zay Flowers to the receiver room. And don’t sleep on new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who will have that unit playing at a much faster tempo. That will certainly benefit quarterback Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens’ defense has been a top-10 unit in three of the last four seasons, and there’s absolutely no reason to think that’ll change anytime soon.

There is not much kindness to the Baltimore schedule, which forms the main reason for tilting toward the Under. The front part of the campaign is packed with matchups against each of their AFC North rivals before mid-October hits, and all of them are away from home.
Lamar Jackson’s contract settlement removes the cloud of unease that floated for so long, while Odell Beckham Jr. is an exciting incoming piece whose potential connection with Jackson offers much intrigue.
Talking of connection, Todd Monken comes in as the new offensive coordinator in a move that is hoped will allow Jackson to run a lot less and spread the ball a lot more.
If it seems like we’ve not spoken much about the defense, it’s because there hasn’t been much change to a strong and solid group, with John Harbaugh’s push for a postseason run largely hitched to whether the team can rack up more points of its own.
