How Can the Ravens Clinch a Playoff Spot?
The Ravens can secure a playoff spot by either winning the AFC North or earning a wild-card berth. Baltimore captured its eighth AFC North title in 2024 and enters the 2025 season as the favorite to repeat, holding the best odds to win the division. But Baltimore will need to bounce back after starting the season 1-3.

Ravens Schedule: 2025-26 NFL Season
The Ravens’ tough start to the season just got more complicated. Lamar Jackson left the loss against the Chiefs with a hamstring injury, and the severity won’t be known until later this week. Cooper Rush is the next man up and will step in if Lamar doesn’t play in Week 5.
The defense also took a hit, with cornerback Marlon Humphrey and linebacker Roquan Smith both expected to miss multiple weeks. More updates on their timelines are expected later this week.
Ravens 2025 Schedule
After Baltimore’s challenging early stretch, the tough work continues as the Ravens face 11 teams this season that finished above .500 in 2024.

Key Contributors Toward Ravens Playoff Chances
QB Lamar Jackson didn’t secure his third league MVP, but the dual-threat quarterback remains the engine of the Ravens’ offense. Adding to the steady run game, veteran RB Derrick Henry now leads the backfield. Henry is currently +2500 to win the 2025 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award after strong performances in the first two weeks. Right behind him, RB Justice Hill has carved out a key role as a change-of-pace back, contributing both on the ground and through the air.
As expected, WR Rashod Bateman took a massive step forward last season and is now a central piece of Baltimore’s passing attack. His impact complements playmakers like Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. The Ravens also boast one of the league’s best backup tight ends in Isaiah Likely.
Defensively, Baltimore struggled through the first half of the 2024 season but transformed into one of the league’s top units in the second half. To bolster that effort in 2025, the Ravens added two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander.
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
Sitting in third place in the division, the Ravens are still considered strong playoff contenders, boasting top-tier talent and solid betting value. MVP QB Lamar Jackson returns after a 4,100+ passing yard, 45-TD campaign. He’s joined by Derrick Henry, who rushed for over 1,900 yards and 16 touchdowns in his Baltimore debut. Offensive weapons Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Mark Andrews all return after career-best seasons.
On defense, Baltimore returns a stout front led by Roquan Smith and Nnamdi Madubuike, who combined for more than 20 sacks and anchored one of the league’s best run defenses. The additions of Alexander and rookie Malaki Starks aim 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.
Do the Ravens Have a Chance to Make the Playoffs?
The Ravens are playoff contenders, currently listed at -320 to make the postseason. Having reached the playoffs in each of the last three seasons, another deep run looks likely. Even if Baltimore doesn’t win the division title, they remain one of the top teams expected to secure a wild-card spot, barring any major setbacks to their lineup.
Are the Ravens out of the Playoffs?
Not at all, the Baltimore Ravens are far from out of playoff contention. With the season just starting, Baltimore is expected to be a contender once again. Their odds to miss the playoffs sit at +250, reflecting a 28.6% chance of falling short.
Where Do the Ravens Rank in the AFC North?
Baltimore holds the best odds to win the AFC North at -145. After claiming the division title in 2024, the Ravens are favorites to repeat. But the division is shaping up to be highly competitive once again. The Steelers added veteran Aaron Rodgers, bringing experience and stability to their offense. The Browns could emerge as a dangerous underdog with a new quarterback and improved defense. Meanwhile, the Bengals have taken a step back with Joe Burrow on IR.
Beyond the tough divisional competition, the Ravens also face a challenging schedule in 2025.
Where Do the Ravens Rank in the AFC Playoff Standings?
The Ravens won the AFC North last season and are expected to repeat as division champs in 2025, having the best odds in the division. The Ravens Super Bowl odds are currently +1200, the sixth-shortest in the NFL. But the AFC is proving far from a walk in the park. To remain among the conference’s elite, the Ravens will need to stay sharp for the remainder of the season. Their losses to the Bills in Week 1 and to the Chiefs in Week 4 could end up carrying extra weight down the stretch.
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 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 as he enters another year among the top MVP favorites.
Heading into Week 5, Baltimore looks to be struggling with consistency on both sides of the ball. Depending on the severity of Lamar Jackson’s hamstring injury, the Ravens could be facing an uphill battle to claim a playoff spot.
