Baltimore captured its eighth AFC North title in 2024 and entered the 2025 season as the favorite to repeat, but after a Week 18 loss, they lost the division and missed the playoffs.

Ravens 2025 Schedule
After a challenging start, Baltimore’s tough schedule continued, facing 11 teams this season that finished above .500 in 2024. One of the biggest matchups came in Week 13, when they hosted AFC North rival Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football on Thanksgiving. That loss was a major blow to their playoff chances, but a revenge win in Week 15 kept Baltimore alive in the postseason hunt. Baltimore finished the season 3–3 in the division.

Key Contributors Toward Ravens Playoff Chances
Changes are coming to Baltimore this offseason, starting with a new head coach, a potential quarterback decision, and roster moves heading into the draft.
After 18 seasons, the Ravens have parted ways with John Harbaugh following an 8–9 finish and a missed playoff appearance. Harbaugh leaves as the winningest coach in franchise history (180–113) and a Super Bowl XLVII champion. Defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is among the early candidates to take over, and the next hire will shape how quickly the team can reset.
Lamar Jackson’s future is also a major question, with a $74.5 million cap hit in 2026 requiring a contract extension or restructure. Reports suggest the team still wants Jackson to remain, though past disagreements over workouts and off-field issues remain a factor.
On the draft front, Baltimore holds the 14th overall pick and is expected to focus on the pass rush. The Ravens recorded just 28 sacks in 2025, their lowest in 15 years, and allowed more than 4,000 passing yards for only the third time in franchise history. Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike missed the final 15 games with a neck injury, leaving the front seven in need of reinforcements.
Where Can I Bet on the Ravens to Make the Playoffs?
You can bet on the Ravens to make the playoffs (and other NFL 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 are focused on finding a new head coach, but there’s plenty more on their offseason plate. A top priority will be managing Lamar Jackson’s massive cap hit, while also negotiating extensions for key players like Tyler Linderbaum and Isaiah Likely. Adding impact edge rushers is another critical goal, as Baltimore looks to fix a pass rush that ranked near the bottom of the league in 2025.
The team will also target depth along the offensive line and at cornerback through the draft and free agency, all while navigating more than 20 pending free agents. Under a new head coach, Baltimore will need to carefully evaluate both its offensive and defensive roster if it hopes to return to playoff contention in an increasingly competitive AFC.
Do the Ravens Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?
The Ravens are not in the playoffs. Baltimore failed to win the division or clinch a Wild Card spot and is out of the playoffs this season. They finished the season with an 8–9 record, including a 3–6 home record. The Steelers won the division with a 10-7 record.
Are the Ravens out of the Playoffs?
Yes, the Baltimore Ravens are out of playoff contention. Entering Week 18, Baltimore needed to beat the Steelers to claim the division and make the playoffs, but they fell short and will now shift focus to the offseason.
Where Do the Ravens Rank in the AFC North?
Baltimore held the best odds to win the AFC North all season, but the division proved highly competitive, with the Steelers adding veteran Aaron Rodgers to bring experience and stability to their offense. Pittsburgh clinched the division over the Ravens with a win in Week 18.
Where Do the Ravens Rank in the AFC Playoff Standings?
The Ravens won the AFC North last season and entered 2025 as favorites to repeat, but an 8–9 record left them in second place. The Ravens Super Bowl odds are now off the board after Baltimore missed the playoffs.
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 stiff competition in the AFC.
Ravens Postseason Outlook and Predictions
The Ravens clinched a playoff spot early last season but fell to the Bills in the Divisional Round, leaving fans to wonder if Lamar Jackson can finally deliver a deep postseason run. Baltimore struggled with consistency on both sides of the ball in 2025 and ultimately missed the playoffs. This offseason will bring major changes to Baltimore, including a new head coach for the first time in 18 years. Decisions regarding Jackson and his contract will also need to be worked out. The hope is that these changes will put the Ravens back in position to be a playoff contender once again.
