Baltimore Ravens NFL Betting
Last year was an embarrassing disappointment for the Ravens. On November 28, the Ravens defeated the Cleveland Browns to improve their record to 8-3. As the regular-season stretch drive began, Baltimore was in the driver’s seat for a playoff spot and potential AFC North Division title. At that point, a Super Bowl was very much in play. And then the roof caved in. the Ravens lost their final six games of the season to finish 8-9 and out of the playoffs. But the Ravens' problems go back to the greatest regular season in franchise history.
In 2019, Baltimore romped to a 14-2 record and the top seed in the AFC. Quarterback Lamar Jackson was named the NFL Most Valuable Player for an utterly dominant season. Jackson flashed a level of dominance that was unprecedented in the NFL. Additionally, his dual-threat style was said to be a revolution of the quarterback position. The Super Bowl seemed to be a fait accompli as the Ravens hosted the wild card 9-7 Tennessee Titans. However, Baltimore was rendered helpless in a 14-3 home loss in which they were rendered helpless. Following that disaster, NFL teams studied the game tape all offseason. Subsequently, the code was cracked on how to neutralize Jackson. He and the Ravens have never been the same.

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.
