On Wednesday, the Baltimore Ravens, like the other 31 teams in the NFL, found out the date and times of their 17 games (and their bye week) in the 2025 season, as they look to make it further than their divisional-round elimination last year.
Over the last few months, Baltimore has made some significant changes to their roster, but they only added five veterans in free agency while 11 former Ravens found new homes this offseason and seven more are still unsigned and are looking for their next opportunity.
That may point to the Ravens taking a step back from their 2024 campaign which included a 12-5 record and a first-place finish in the AFC North.
With the schedules released, NFL pundits have already taken on the task of predicting how every team will perform in 2025, including John Harbaugh's team. Here's what they had to say about Baltimore's upcoming season.

"The Ravens will play nine games against teams that made the playoffs last year. With their stacked roster, they're built to win most of those contests."
"The Ravens could be a better team than last year and still finish with a worse record than the 12-5 they went in 2024. They face the entire NFC North, arguably the toughest division in the league, and their three games as a result of a first-place showing are the Chiefs, Rams and Texans — no easy draw there. They could be a top-10 team and still go just 4-2 in the division. The key is whether they can hold off Cincinnati with an improved defense and Pittsburgh (with Aaron Rodgers?) and avoid opening the playoffs on the road, as they have just one road playoff win in the past 10 years. "
Matt Verderame, Sports Illustrated: 12-5
"The Ravens are one of the league’s most talented teams, and they will need all of it. Baltimore has four challenging games in the division with Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and then additional road tilts against the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Bills and Chiefs. John Harbaugh’s club could play great football away from home and still be looking at 4–4 or 5–3."
Jeff Zrebiec, The Athletic: 11-6
"This is a difficult schedule for the Ravens, so it’s conceivable that they can be a better team yet still finish behind last year’s regular-season pace. They’ll be judged on what they do in January anyway.
So much will depend on injuries, as it always does, and the ability of a handful of young players to step into bigger roles. On paper, this is a Ravens team with one of the better rosters in the NFL and plenty of motivation from past playoff flameouts."
