Still, over the next week, we’ll likely find out if Baltimore is the one defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City will open up with, as well as the Sunday night matchup on NBC and Monday night doubleheader on ESPN/ABC.

Offering an early glimpse into where the Ravens could finish this season, here’s how Baltimore’s 17-game slate for 2024 stacks up to the rest of the league via NFL Research.
