Ravens schedule

[AngusMcFife]

For anyone interested, here's the schedule:

9/5       BAL @ KC (Thu night)
9/15     LV @ BAL
9/22     BAL @ DAL
9/29     BUF @ BAL (Sun night)
10/6     BAL @ CIN
10/13   WAS @ BAL
10/21   BAL @ TB (Mon night)
10/27   BAL @ CLE
11/3     DEN @ BAL
11/7     CIN @ BAL (Thu night)
11/17   BAL @ PIT
11/25   BAL @ LAC (Mon night)
12/1     PHI @ BAL
BYE
12/15   BAL @ NYG
12/21   PIT @ BAL (Sat afternoon)
12/25  BAL @ HOU (Wed afternoon - Xmas)
1/5      CLE @ BAL

Seems like a solid mix of home/away games in the first 3/4 of the schedule, with some nice primetime matchups. Our Thursday night football game is home and is preceded by a home game as well, which is good.

Then it gets a little crazy, with a late bye (week 14) followed by 3 games in 10 days from 12/15 to 12/25, with 2 games on the road.

Given our offseason losses and uncertainty at OL, I'll predict 11 wins. I see 6 games that we should win (LV, WAS, TB, DEN, LAC, NYG) and then 11 tough games that we'll probably come close to splitting.

Ravens over/under is 11.5 which makes sense. 6 wins + 5.5 wins.

@Ray Reed Love the new sig. I was a huge King of Queens fan even before the meme dropped, so it's nice to see Doug Heffernan in the forum 😄.

I think we split with Cleveland, so I could see either 2-2 or 3-1 in the second quarter and/or 4-0 or 3-1 in the final quarter. I like our chances to sweep the Bengals. I think the Giants could be a trap game but I’ll take us. The Bucs feel like a trap game with a team that could matchup well with our strengths and Baker Mayfield always plays us well, so I could see them taking that game.

If injuries happen obviously things can change in a hurry because this is a brutal schedule, but I’ll factor the “most rest” advantage factor into the schedule and assume that we can put together a season where we compete for a divisional round home game.

I haven’t looked at the schedules of other teams but I could see a team facing a weak conference juicing up with 14 wins in the AFC, perhaps the Jets or Chiefs, but again I haven’t looked at their respective schedules.
