Baltimore Ravens Season Preview 2023: Schedule, Expectations, Game Day

BALTIMORE, MD — The start of the 2023 regular season for the Baltimore Ravens is set to kick off at home on Sunday, Sept. 10, against the Houston Texans, with former MVP Lamar Jackson back at quarterback.

During the off-season, the Ravens signed Jackson to a new five-year, $260 million contract. The Ravens also added some wide receivers for Jackson to target, including Odell Beckham Jr., Zay Flowers and Nelson Agholor.

The 2023 season, the team's 16th under head coach John Harbaugh, follows a season where they finished second in the AFC North and lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in the wild card round of the playoffs.

Among its games this season, the Ravens will travel to London this fall to play the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Oct. 15, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the only purpose-built NFL stadium outside the United States.

The 2023 NFL season began Thursday night, when the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs hosted the Detroit Lions, with the champs losing 21-20.

For the Ravens, experts are predicting the team to win 10 or 11 games in the tough AFC North division.

"The Ravens season will depend a lot on the fitness of Lamar Jackson down the stretch," football news site Ninety-Nine Yards said. "If he is healthy late in the season, which he hasn’t been since 2019, the Ravens are capable of challenging the AFC elite."

The biggest challenge, according to Ninety-Nine Yards, will be "a crowded AFC North and a crowded AFC playoff field."

"The Ravens have the talent to earn a spot as one of the top seven teams in the conference but everything has to break right for them to earn a home playoff game," the football news site said.
