Key Contributors Toward Ravens Playoff Chances
QB Lamar Jackson didn't win his third league MVP, but the dual-threat QB continues to be the engine of the Ravens' offense. To add to the steady run game, veteran RB Derrick Henry is now the focal point in the Ravens' backfield. Henry is currently +1600 to win the 2025-26 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award after posting several strong showings in the 2024 season. Not to be outdone, RB Justice Hill has earned a prominent role behind Henry on the ground and through the air as a solid change-of-pace back.
As expected, WR Rashod Bateman took a massive step forward last season and is now a key piece of the passing game. His contribution has been huge, in addition to playmakers Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. Baltimore also has one of the best "backup" tight ends in the league with Isaiah Likely.
Defensively, the Ravens struggled in the first half of the 2024 season. But the defense went from one of the worst in the NFL to one of the best in the second half of the season. Baltimore recently signed two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander to help bolster the defense in 2025.
Where Can I Bet on the Ravens to Make the Playoffs?
You can bet on the Ravens to make the playoffs (and other markets) with any of the licensed Maryland sports betting apps. The availability of these markets may fluctuate throughout the offseason, but during the season, you will find them on every site.
For those wanting to place bets in person, you can bet on the Ravens' odds to make the playoffs and more at retail sportsbooks located in Maryland as well.
Looking Ahead: Ravens Playoff Picture
The Ravens enter the 2025 season as strong playoff contenders, boasting top-tier talent and betting value. MVP QB Lamar Jackson returns after a 4,100+ passing yard, 45-TD season. He is joined by Derrick Henry, who rushed for 1,900+ yards and 16 TDs in his Baltimore debut. Offensive key weapons Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Mark Andrews all return after career-best seasons.
On defense, the Ravens return a strong front led by Roquan Smith and Justin Madubuike, who combined for over 20 sacks and anchored one of the league’s top run defenses. The addition of Jaire Alexander and rookie Malaki Starks aims to fix a secondary that ranked near the bottom in pass defense last season. With improved coverage and a steady pass rush, Baltimore’s defense could be a difference-maker in a deep playoff run.

Here is how the AFC North odds look for the upcoming season:
Where Do the Ravens Rank in the AFC Playoff Standings?

Who to Root for if You’re a Ravens Fan
Outside of rooting for the Ravens, you should always root against divisional foes. So I would root for any team that plays against the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, or Pittsburgh Steelers. Baltimore fans tend to also root for most teams playing the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, as these two have proven to be still competition in the AFC.
Ravens Postseason Outlook and Predictions
The Ravens locked in a playoff spot early last season but fell short against the Bills in the AFC Divisional Round, leaving fans wondering if Lamar Jackson can finally lead them deep in the postseason, even though he’s a favorite for MVP this year.
Heading into the season, Baltimore looks like a serious AFC contender. Lamar is looking to have another MVP-level season, and Derrick Henry will power a strong running game. Receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman are expected to be key targets again, helping the Ravens’ offense click at a high level.
Baltimore will lean on a solid mix of veteran leadership and young playmakers, including Roquan Smith and newcomer Jaire Alexander. Most experts predict the Ravens will make a deep playoff run, likely reaching the AFC Championship, and if they secure home-field advantage, they could emerge as a serious dark horse for the Super Bowl.
