Baltimore Ravens Week 1 Best Bets - NFL Betting Lines

The Baltimore Ravens open the 2025 NFL betting season with expectations as high as they’ve been in years. A 12–5 finish in 2024 cemented their place as one of the AFC’s most consistent franchises, though postseason frustrations linger after once again falling short of the Super Bowl. NFL Bettors backing Baltimore last season were often rewarded, with the team finishing 11–7–1 against the spread. The over cashed 10 times, as the Ravens leaned on a defense-first identity paired at the tail end of the year with a run-heavy offense that kept games tighter on the scoreboard.

Oddsmakers continue to price Baltimore as one of the league’s elite. The Ravens hit the board +650 to win the Super Bowl and have since adjusted slightly to +673. They opened +350 to win the AFC before ticking down to +330, while their AFC North price has since swelled to -162 from the –125 opener. With a season win total of 11.5, the market expects the Ravens to remain among the NFL’s top-tier contenders. As coach John Harbaugh said during camp, “The foundation here is strong. We’ve got leaders on both sides of the ball who understand the standard, and now it’s about finishing.” Ravens fans can now bet the NFL with Bitcoin at BookMaker Sportsbook, featuring fast crypto deposits and withdrawals.

Baltimore Ravens Week 1 Matchup

On Sunday, September 7, 2025, the Baltimore Ravens will visit the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Kickoff for Sunday Night Football is set for 8:20 p.m. ET with coverage on NBC. The betting market has shown early interest on the under, which opened 53.5 before slipping to 52.5. The NFL spread remains Buffalo –1, signaling how evenly matched oddsmakers view these AFC heavyweights.

The storyline centers on a rematch of last year’s AFC Divisional Round, where Buffalo escaped with a 27–25 victory. Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are both MVP candidates entering 2025, with the matchup delivering a marquee quarterback showdown in prime time. Jackson emphasized this week that the Ravens are focused on execution over revenge: “We know what happened last year, but Week 1 is about setting a tone for the season. Everything after that will take care of itself.”

Baltimore’s game plan will likely run through Derrick Henry, who was the centerpiece of the offense in 2024 after arriving from Tennessee. Henry rumbled for over 1,900 yards and 16 touchdowns in his first season as a Raven, proving he still has plenty of mileage left in his legs. His ability to wear down defenses is especially critical against Buffalo’s front, which added speed but showed vulnerability to power running a year ago. With Henry pounding the middle and Jackson threatening the edge, the Ravens believe their rushing duo can tilt the balance.

Defensively, Baltimore will look to pressure Allen without sacrificing coverage integrity. The secondary is deep, with Marlon Humphrey healthy and Kyle Hamilton continuing his ascent as one of the league’s best young safeties. The defense has thrived on discipline, ranking top-ten in points allowed last season, and that formula must carry over into a hostile road opener.

Trends point to Baltimore’s reliability away from home. The Ravens are 7–3 straight-up and against the spread in their last 10 road games, with the over hitting in eight of those contests. That suggests bettors should expect points when Jackson and Allen share the field, even with both defenses capable of swinging momentum.

Baltimore Ravens 2024-25 Recap

Baltimore’s 2024 campaign reflected both progress and frustration. The 12–5 record was enough to secure another AFC North title, and bettors enjoyed consistent success with the team’s winning ATS mark. The biggest storyline was Derrick Henry’s arrival. At 31, the veteran back proved he remained a force, spearheading an offense that leaned heavily on his bruising style. His performance in key late-season wins gave Baltimore an edge of physicality they had lacked in previous playoff pushes. Henry’s resurgence was paired with Jackson playing some of his best all-around football, showing maturity as a passer and leader.

Defensively, the Ravens excelled in the red zone and limited explosive plays, though they still struggled to consistently pressure quarterbacks without blitzing. That shortcoming was exploited in the postseason by Buffalo, leading to the offseason emphasis on strengthening the pass rush. With Hamilton blossoming into a star and Roquan Smith anchoring the linebacker corps, the pieces remain in place for a dominant unit.

Harbaugh’s group enters 2025 knowing that incremental success is no longer enough. The goal is simple: translate regular-season dominance into playoff breakthroughs. The Week 1 clash in Buffalo provides an immediate chance to measure themselves against another Super Bowl contender and set the tone for the year ahead.

2025 Baltimore Ravens Schedule, Results & Record

Baltimore had another successful offseason while putting itself in a better position to challenge for AFC supremacy.

In free agency, the Ravens gave Lamar Jackson another playmaker when they signed Hopkins, who proved with the Chiefs last year that he still has some gas left in the tank. Baltimore then spent the draft adding depth to its offensive line and using a first-round pick on a player in Malaki Starks, who could be an immediate starter. In the second round, the Ravens acquired Mike Green, who should be able to give their pass rush a much-needed boost. Last year, Green led the FBS with 17 sacks in addition to compiling 23 tackles for loss.

Baltimore also drafted a place kicker for the first time in franchise history when it selected former Arizona kicker Tyler Loop in the sixth round. Loop comes to Baltimore after drilling a 62-yard field goal during his final season in college. Loop was an impressive six for nine on field goals of at least 50 yards in 2024.
