Baltimore Ravens NFL Betting
Although quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens made the playoffs for the third straight season, they took a noticeable step back in 2020. Jackson was the 2019 NFL MVP when the Ravens earned the top seed in the AFC Playoffs. But following their stunning loss to the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round, things have never been the same. NFL defenses studied what the Titans did to suffocate Jackson and the Ravens. Now Baltimore coach John Harbaugh is tasked with recreating his offense to get Jackson back on track and confound opponents. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman was 2019 NFL Assistant Coach of the Year for his work with Jackson. Gamblers are betting that the Ravens get fixed.

John Harbaugh has been head coach of the Ravens since the 2008 season. He led Baltimore to the Super Bowl XLVII championship over the San Francisco 49ers and his brother Jim in the famous "Har-Bowl." In 2019 Harbaugh earned AP NFL Coach of the Year honors. In his 13 seasons at the helm, Harbaugh has only one losing season and led the Ravens to the playoffs nine times. His career win percentage is .620.
A big part of the Ravens' continued success is stout defense, which was certainly the case in 2020. Baltimore finished 2nd in the NFL for the fewest points allowed.
Linebacker Patrick Queen was a top disrupter for the Ravens last year with 106 tackles, ten tackles for loss, three sacks, and two forced fumbles with two recoveries. However, linebacker Matt Judon has moved on to the Patriots after compiling a team-best six sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson dropped from a 113.3 QB rating in 2019 down to 99.3 in 2020. He also dropped from a 36/6 TD/INT ratio to 26/9 last year. However, Jackson remained the Ravens leading ball carrier with 1005 yards, 6.3 yards per carry, and seven touchdowns.
First round draft pick Rashod Bateman, a wide receiver out of Minnesota, could be a reach. But another first round pick, defensive end, and outside linebacker Jayson Oweh of Penn State looks like a steal.
