Exploring Betting Odds for the 2025 Baltimore Ravens
Sports betting has become one of the newest ways to watch sports. It adds a level of suspense and risk outside of who scored more than which team. You often see social media posts of people placing $10 parlays to win over $200,000, or a large wager of $50,000 to win their money back plus $500. It can become dangerous if you end up betting money that you do not have, so always bet responsibly. I do not bet on anything, but for those who are interested in the occasional wager, I thought we could explore the 2025 Baltimore Ravens betting lines for the upcoming season.
Team Odds
Over the last two seasons, the Baltimore Ravens have been one of the top teams projected to be Super Bowl champions. With a few changes to the roster, nothing changed in terms of being favorites for the Super Bowl. According to DraftKings.com, the Ravens are favored at +350 to make the Super Bowl and favored at +650 to win the championship. Both sets of odds are tied for the best with the Buffalo Bills, who not only took down the Ravens in the divisional round but were a handful of plays away from taking on the Eagles in the Super Bowl, who are also +650 to win it all in Super Bowl LX. Kansas City, Cincinnati, and Detroit are also in the top tier, but do not have a complete roster compared to Baltimore, Buffalo, and Philadelphia.
The Ravens’ win total is set at 11.5 and are the easy favorites to win the AFC North at -150, whereas the Bengals are next at +250, Pittsburgh at +500, and Cleveland as a longshot with +3000 odds to win the AFC North. In my schedule prediction, I had the median record at 12-5, which is on par with the betting line, but the Ravens have a tough schedule with away games versus Kansas City, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Green Bay and Minnesota, combined with an early home primetime game hosting the Lions on Monday Night Football. The odds for Baltimore to make the playoffs are a strong -550, which is not surprising considering they are favored to win the division. Lastly, the Ravens have the second-best odds to win the number one seed in the AFC at +260, just behind the Bills, who are the +195 favorite. If I were a betting man, I would place a small wager on the Ravens winning the Super Bowl, but to cover some losses, I would tail it with a win total, AFC North title, and/or Super Bowl appearance parlay if your sportsbook allows.
Lamar Jackson
Lamar Jackson is the Baltimore Ravens. Yes, the Ravens have Derrick Henry, Mark Andrews, and a handful of fantasy-relevant players who can win a game by themselves if they tried. Jackson was snubbed for his third MVP last season since being drafted in 2018. The two-time MVP recorded career highs with almost 4,200 passing yards and a TD: INT ratio of 41:4, both career bests. Jackson also rushed for over 900 yards with four touchdowns on the ground, neither of which was the best in his career, but to add those numbers to his passing statistics, it seems blasphemous that he did not win MVP over Josh Allen, whose only statistically better category was rushing touchdowns. With that being said, I would place a wager on a Lamar Jackson MVP where on both DraftKings and ESPNBet, his line is set at +550, with Allen and Joe Burrow at +600 and Patrick Mahomes and Jayden Daniels right behind them at +700. Another Lamar Jackson line that I would claim warrants a second look is his passing player props, where his O/U in yards and pass TDs are 3,500.5 and 28.5, respectively. The former Heisman winner only surpassed those lines in the two most recent seasons, which happened to be two of the three years he played in all non-resting regular season games. With a finely tuned team and an extremely developed passing QB in Jackson, I would take those overs, or maybe even bet on a higher line for a little extra payday.
In conclusion, gamble responsibly. I am not telling you how much to bet, nor am I telling you that these are absolute locks. Knocking on wood and praying to a higher power that it doesn’t, the worst could happen, and the Ravens could miss the playoffs with below-average statistical output. The purpose of this was to explore options and share what I think could possibly happen with a Ravens team that has been building towards something just outside of their grasp for too many years. Numbers are occasionally wrong, and most importantly, Vegas always wins, but this year feels more special than years in the past for Lamar Jackson to win his third MVP and his first Lombardi Trophy.
