Baltimore Ravens Odds to Win Super Bowl LIV
The Baltimore Ravens went all in on Lamar Jackson, trading longtime starter Joe Flacco during the offseason and ringing in a new era. Jackson showed he could win football games posting a 6-1 record as the team’s starter helping to end a three-year playoff drought with a 10-6 overall record and AFC North title. There were some other key departures on the defensive side of the football and not a lot was done to address them. The division is expected to much tougher in 2019 with the anticipated rise of Cleveland, and the question is whether or not the Ravens did enough to keep up.

When Flacco was injured last season Jackson stepped in and never looked back. Keeping Jackson in the starting role wasn’t strictly performance-based rather it was because the Ravens were winning. They were more productive when Flacco was under center, but they had a worse record. And once the move was made there was no going back. Now it’s up to John Harbaugh and the coaching staff to tailor a game-plan that best suits their quarterback’s style of play.
There’s no denying Jackson is a dynamic player. He ran for nearly 700 yards on 147 attempts and frustrated opposing defenses. However, carrying the ball 17 times a game in his seven starts isn’t suitable for longevity in the NFL. One area that will help Jackson and the team is improved accuracy throwing the football. Jackson completed only 58.2 percent of his 170 throws with just six touchdowns. It’s difficult to play catch up when you can’t throw, and the Ravens probably won’t be as sound defensively with five starters from last season’s No. 1 ranked unit no longer around.
The Ravens ran for nearly 153 yards a game in 2018 limiting Jackson’s throwing opportunities. Leading rusher Gus Edwards is back and Mark Ingram is a new addition. That part of the offense is in good hands. Playing a ball-control style is needed with the departures of Terrell Suggs, C.J. Mosley and Za’Darius Smith. Those three alone accounted for 184 tackles and 16 sacks. Harbaugh and his staff have a history of finding players that excel on the defensive side of the football and they’ll need to work their magic this year to return to the postseason.

It was one of the more controversial moves in NFL history when team owner Art Modell moved his club to Baltimore for the 1996 season. In a deal reached with the city of Cleveland and the NFL, the entire Browns history would remain in Cleveland and the new Baltimore team would essentially be an expansion club, though team personnel would make the move.
There were some lean years following the team’s move as the Ravens went four years without a winning record or playoff appearance. That all changed in 2000 under second-year head coach Brian Billick. Sporting the league’s No. 1 ranked scoring defense, the Ravens won 12 games and all four postseason contests by outscoring opponents 95-23. The season culminated with a 34-7 victory over the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV.
Including the 2000 season the Ravens have qualified for the playoffs 11 times, finished with a winning record 13 times and won the AFC North on five occasions. They captured their second Super Bowl title following the 2012 season with a win over San Francisco, making the Ravens the only team with multiple Super Bowl appearances to go undefeated.
The Ravens returned to the postseason in 2018, ending their longest postseason drought this century. There were rumblings that Harbaugh was on thin ice, but the performance saved his job. And for the first time since 2008, the coach will enter a season without Flacco as his starting quarterback.
