Baltimore Ravens NFL Betting
On the positive, the Baltimore Ravens did make the 2022 NFL playoffs. On the other hand, the Ravens came nowhere near fulfilling their goal of making the Super Bowl. Baltimore was missing the services of quarterback Lamar Jackson when it mattered most. And while Tyler Huntley was a solid replacement for Jackson, he is not a bona fide NFL starting quarterback. Jackson’s ability to go the distance in the expanded NFL schedule is of great concern. In the past two seasons, Jackson missed a total of ten games and at the most climatic part of the schedule. The Ravens' defense regained its form as one of the best. But without Jackson, it mattered little.
Baltimore Ravens 2022 Season Recap
Last game, the Baltimore Ravens lost 24-17 against the Cincinnati Bengals as 7.5-point road dogs. The game went over the total of 40. Cincinnati had a regular season record of 10-7 straight up, 6-9-2 against the spread, and 5-12 over/under the total.
Baltimore ranks 16th for total offense, 28th for passing, 2nd for rushing and 19th for scoring. Defensively they rank 10th overall, 26th against the pass, 3rd against the rush, and 3rd for points allowed. Also, Baltimore ranks 10th for fewest turnovers lost and 8th for takeaways.
Cincinnati’s Sam Hubbard returned Tyler Huntley's fumble 98 yards for a tiebreaking touchdown in the fourth quarter, helping Joe Burrow and the Bengals beat the Ravens in the first round of the AFC playoffs. Facing third-and-goal at the 1 with about 12 minutes left, Huntley tried to go over the top of the line for the go-ahead score. But he was stood up by Germaine Pratt and stripped by fellow linebacker Logan Wilson. Hubbard got the ball at the 2, and he was helped along by a convoy of teammates on the longest fumble return for a touchdown in NFL postseason history. It also was the longest go-ahead TD in the fourth quarter of the postseason.
Baltimore drove down to the Cincinnati 17 in the final minute, but Kevin Zeitler was flagged for holding, and Huntley threw incomplete to the end zone on the final play.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Huntley was supposed to go low on the play that resulted in the fumble.
Playing behind a patchwork offensive line, Burrow passed for 209 yards and a touchdown for the AFC North champions. He also had a 1-yard touchdown run a week after the Bengals beat the Ravens 27-16 in the regular-season finale.
A year after Cincinnati made a surprise run to the Super Bowl, it won a playoff game for the second straight postseason for the first time in franchise history.
Playing without Lamar Jackson once again because of the quarterback's knee injury, Baltimore managed two offensive touchdowns for the first time since November 27. Huntley passed for 226 yards and two TDs, but he also had a costly interception. Hubbard's dramatic trip to the end zone sent the Ravens into an uncertain offseason centered around the future of Jackson, who is eligible for free agency. The 2019 MVP got hurt during a 10-9 win against Denver on Dec. 4, and he did not travel with the team to Cincinnati for the playoff game.
Cincinnati linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither intercepted Huntley on the second attempt of his first postseason start. The Bengals turned the miscue into Burrow's 7-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase early in the second quarter, but they had to settle for a 9-0 lead after Evan McPherson missed the extra point.

The Baltimore Ravens were born in 1996 after the original Cleveland Browns decided to move because of proposals for a new stadium falling through. As part of the agreement for the move, then-owner Art Modell agreed to leave the Browns name behind in Cleveland for a future new franchise. Thus, Baltimore became the Ravens in honor of the legendary late local poet Edgar Allan Poe. Poe’s poem “The Raven” is one of the most famous in history.
During their time in Baltimore, the Ravens have been one of the most successful franchises in pro sports. Since 2000, Baltimore has missed the playoffs only nine times. Baltimore won the Super Bowl in the 2000 and 2012 seasons.
Owner Steve Bisciotti bought into the club as a partner with Modell in 2000 and took over as majority owner in 2004. Bisciotti has run a stable franchise that is a model for the rest of the league. John Harbaugh has been the head coach since 2008. Current general manager Eric DeCosta has been in the organization since 1996.
