Baltimore will begin another campaign led by Lamar Jackson in their never-ending quest for a Super Bowl win. Last season, the Ravens had a rough start but they were able to bounce back to make the playoffs due to a strong performance in the latter half of the season. Baltimore made it to the Divisional Round but eventually fell to the Buffalo Bills. With the 2021 regular-season schedule released, will the Ravens have an easy route to the playoffs this year, or will they struggle?

AFC North: The Ravens have a really good chance of placing first in the division. Last season, they tied with the Steelers for the division crown, but Pittsburgh held the tiebreaker. So expect for Baltimore to either win the division or at least place second in the division. If they don’t win the division, they should sneak into the playoffs with a Wild Card berth, just as they did last year.
Matchups: Baltimore’s schedule is not favorable as they have matchups with many playoff teams. The Ravens have an eight-game stretch From Week 11 to Week 18 when they will have to play seven teams that made the playoffs last year. The only matchup during that span against a non-playoff team is Week 16 when Baltimore will host the Bengals. The biggest games for the Ravens will be Week 2 against the Chiefs and their two matchups with the Steelers (Week 13 and Week 18). Expect some good football in the aforementioned games, and the Steelers-Ravens regular-season series will decide who controls the division.

With Lamar Jackson leading the team and Jackson being excited with the new additions, the team will be rejuvenated to make a deep run.
Prediction: Although Baltimore will face high-quality opponents, the Ravens will finish the season with a 12-5 record.
