### **Ravens Have Highest Projected Win Total by Oddsmakers**
The oddsmakers are betting the Ravens will bounce back in a big way from a disappointing 2025 season.
The betting odds for the Ravens' win total this season is 11.5, the highest in the NFL, [per Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-win-total-set-at-over-under-11-5-best-in-nfl).
Baltimore has lost 12 free agents this offseason, but landed elite pass rusher Trey Hendrickson and made several other shrewd, under-the-radar signings.
The projected win total also reflects belief in first-year Head Coach Jesse Minter.
"In 2025 the Ravens finished a disappointing 8-9, leading to the departure of Head Coach John Harbaugh," Smith wrote. "Minter was brought in to take the Ravens back to where they were in 2024, when they went 12-5. That's where expectations are this year."
[Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25409169-realistic-expectations-1st-year-head-coaches-after-early-2026-nfl-free-agency) agreed that 12-5 is a realistic expectation for the Ravens.
"On paper, the Ravens have the best roster in the AFC North, led by a two-time MVP quarterback in Lamar Jackson," Davenport wrote. "But this is a team that is expected to do more than just make the postseason. The Ravens are expected to make a real run at Super Bowl LXI."
Nine teams have the next-highest win total at 10.5: the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks.
