Baltimore Ravens 2024-25 NFL Season Recap

Baltimore Ravens 2024-25 NFL Season Recap

Another double-digit win tally was scored by the Baltimore Ravens throughout the 2024-25 NFL betting season which exceeded their win total odds a second straight time. This time, John Harbaugh’s troops tallied 12 regular season wins to take home AFC North bragging rights for the second time in as many years. But after reaching the AFC title game last year, this year’s version was only able to reach the division round before seeing its campaign get cut short in a 27-25 loss to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. While most NFL crypto bettors will point to Mark Andrews’ drop on the potential game-tying two-point conversion attempt in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter as to why, let us not forget about the three turnovers that allowed for Buffalo to get out to such a substantial lead forcing Lamar Jackson and Co. into comeback mode by halftime. Down 21-10 at the break, the Ravens never quit, outscoring Buffalo 15-6 over the final 30 minutes to make a game of it. Had Baltimore been able to hold onto the football—something it did over the course of the regular season evidenced by 11 total giveaways—you can’t help but think Baltimore defeats Buffalo in front of the BillsMafia considering it held a commanding 416-273 yardage advantage, moved the chains on 7 of 10 third down tries, and scoring touchdowns on 2 of 3 red zone penetrations.

As painful it was to see the season get cut short in Orchard Park, it was still one the Ravens franchise can throw its hat on and deem a success. Of the team’s 19 overall played games, 12 were covered against the closing NFL odds with the team posting winning straight up (SU) records both at home (7-2) and on the road (6-4). Total bettors clamoring for high scorers made bank as well with the Ravens cashing over tickets at a 14-5 clip averaging a healthy 51.2 points per game. The second go-round of Todd Monken’s offense was incredibly balanced. How could it not with Derrick Henry brought in during the offseason? The King went on to tally the second-highest rushing total of his career (1,921 yards) to go along with 16 touchdowns. That output paired with Jackson doing his thing on the ground had Baltimore marching out the league’s top-ranked running assault that averaged 188 yards per game. Not to be outdone, Lamar threw for a career-high in passing yards (4,172) and touchdowns (41) with Zay Flowers exceeding 1,000 yards receiving in only his second season in the league. The results proved to be the NFL’s No. 7 ranked passing attack that racked up 237.4 yards per game.

Early on, the Achilles heel of the team proved to be the defense which allowed six of its first eight opponents to hit the 25-point plateau. That simply didn’t cut it a year removed from conceding a league-low 16.5 points per game. But from Week 9 on, the Ravens figured it out on the defensive side of the ball in allowing just over 17 points a game to close it out. GM Eric DeCosta has the No. 27 pick to work with in the upcoming NFL Draft. Though reinforcements might be needed along the offensive line should Ronnie Stanley not be re-inked or a capable vet not be brought in to replace him, I can’t help but think another stud wide receiver or pass rusher will be added to the mix. The passing game was way too reliant on production from the tight ends, and Flowers missed a few games. Rashod Bateman also hindered by the injury bug once again. A field stretcher is what the offense needs, and it’s what I believe the unit gets after stepping up to the podium.

Baltimore Ravens Divisional Round Recap

The Baltimore Ravens' divisional-round playoff exit was marked by missed opportunities and costly mistakes in a narrow 27-25 NFL odds loss to the Buffalo Bills. Despite outgaining Buffalo with 416 total yards, Baltimore’s three turnovers proved decisive. Lamar Jackson completed 18 of 25 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns but was undone by a critical interception and a fumble. His postseason record now stands at 3-5, with turnovers continuing to be a key factor in the team coming up short under his guise. Mark Andrews had a pivotal game, catching multiple passes but failing to secure a two-point conversion that would have tied the game with 1:33 remaining. Despite his late miscue, Andrews remains a cornerstone of Baltimore’s offense as its all-time touchdown leader. Baltimore’s dominant rushing attack, which shredded Buffalo for 271 yards in Week 4, managed 176 yards this time but couldn’t compensate for critical errors. Defensively, the Ravens pressured Josh Allen but struggled to capitalize on Buffalo's modest 273 yards of offense. The Ravens now sit 5-8 SU all-time in divisional playoff games and 1-4 SU in their last five appearances. John Harbaugh emphasized the need to overcome postseason heartbreak with the team falling short of a Super Bowl appearance for the seventh time since winning it all back in 2012.
