Baltimore Ravens Schedule for 2026-27 NFL Season – Ravens Strength of Schedule Analysis, Odds for Super Bowl 61, Conference Winner Odds, and Division Winner Odds
The Baltimore Ravens’ 2025 season was a major disappointment to say the least. After entering as Super Bowl favorites with Lamar Jackson and a stacked roster, they finished 8-9, missing playoffs for the first time since 2021 and posting their first losing record in that span. They started 1-2 amid early struggles, injuries, and inconsistency on both sides of the ball despite strong individual performances (e.g., Derrick Henry). The season ended with a heartbreaking Week 18 loss to the Steelers, eliminating them from contention.
John Harbaugh was fired on January 6, 2026, ending his 18-year tenure (180-113 regular season, Super Bowl XLVII win). The Ravens quickly hired Jesse Minter (former Chargers DC and Michigan assistant under Jim Harbaugh) as head coach on a five-year deal. Minter, 42, brings defensive expertise and Harbaugh-tree familiarity, tasked with stabilizing the team and pushing past recent playoff hurdles with Lamar Jackson.

Ravens’ Strength of Schedule Analysis and Prediction for 2026-27 NFL Season
Strength of Schedule Analysis
The Baltimore Ravens enter the 2026 season with one of the league’s easiest schedules, ranked 24th with a strength of schedule of .479 (based on 2025 opponents records). They play nine home games, including divisional matchups against the Bengals, Browns, and Steelers, plus softer NFC South and AFC South opponents (Saints, Buccaneers, Falcons, Panthers, Jaguars, Titans, Colts, Texans). Road games include tougher tests against the Bills, Cowboys, and divisional rivals, but overall the slate lacks elite perennial contenders.
With Jesse Minter as the new head coach following John Harbaugh’s firing, the Ravens benefit from Lamar Jackson’s elite playmaking, a healthy Derrick Henry, and defensive continuity. The light schedule provides ample opportunity to rebound from their disappointing 8-9 non-playoff 2025.
We believe an AFC Championship appearance is the Ravens’ ceiling or Super Bowl berth even if Minter stabilizes the defense and Jackson stays healthy- realistic given the favorable matchups and Baltimore’s talent edge. However, that’s their ceiling. Realistically, we believe a playoff berth is likely but Super Bowl still depends on if the Ravens can show up in the playoffs, as their track record recently, says otherwise.
Prediction
The Baltimore Ravens enter the 2026 season with the 24th-easiest schedule (47.9 strength of schedule), featuring nine home games and favorable matchups against the NFC South and AFC South. This lighter slate positions them well to rebound from their 8-9 miss in 2025 and secure a playoff berth- likely 11-6 or 12-5, clinching a wild-card spot or even the AFC North if divisional games break right.
However, their postseason track record remains a major concern: recent playoff appearances have been underwhelming, often ending early despite regular-season success, and 2025’s total absence exposed deeper issues. Under new head coach Jesse Minter, they should reach the playoffs, but limited postseason success remains probable- another early exit feels more realistic than a deep run in the postseason.
While new head coach could bring a lot of positives for this Baltimore team stacked with talent, their are way too many competitors in the AFC Conference, that might knock off the Ravens in either the Wild Card round or the Divisional round.
Our Prediction: Ravens make the playoffs in the 2026-27 season.

Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl LXI Odds for 2026-27 Season
The Baltimore Ravens have the third best odds to win the Super Bowl LXI as per the odds from FanDuel, but realistically, that is highly unlikely given their recent track record. The Ravens perform exceptionally in the regular season, leaving aside their 2025-26 season, but have a history of coming up short in the playoffs. While winning their division and getting a playoff spot is realistic, as they have a 3-5 record as Lamar Jackson in the playoffs all-time, but do not have a Super Bowl appearance nor a Conference Championship yet under him.
Looking at their lack of playoff success and the parity in the NFL right now, with most teams improving every season, we believe a Super Bowl appearance, let alone a Super Bowl win, for the Ravens is highly unlikely. However, it is not because of their talent but more to do with their performance under postseason pressure.
Baltimore Ravens Conference Winner Odds for 2026-27 Season
In terms of the Ravens’ Conference Championship aspirations, their odds currently sit at (+550), as per FanDuel, tied with the Buffalo Bills for the best odds to win their conference.
Despite the favorable schedule (.479 strength of schedule, 24th easiest) and talent around Lamar Jackson, their conference championship aspirations remain uncertain. The AFC is stacked with contenders like the Bills, Chiefs, Bengals, Texans, Chargers, Patriots, Colts, Jaguars, Broncos, and even more, all capable of deep runs. The Ravens have never reached (let alone win) an AFC Championship under Jackson, often faltering in high-stakes playoff games.
While their regular-season ceiling is high, postseason success has eluded them- making an AFC title unlikely despite the top odds.

Baltimore Ravens Division Winner Odds for 2026-27 Season
The Baltimore Ravens are the favorites to win the AFC North division, even though they missed the playoffs in the 2025-26 season, at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their odds to win the division sit at (-110), as per DraftKings, against rivals like the Bengals, Browns, and the Steelers who won their division last season.
The odds are in their favor because of a relatively easier schedule that they have, as mentioned earlier. The Ravens are only facing 7 teams who were in the postseason in 2025-26, and if their was ever a time to make the playoffs and make a deep playoff run, the upcoming 2026-27 season should be the best time to do so with a new head coach giving them a fresh start.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
