The NFL off-season is a time of anticipation and speculation, and as we approach the start of training camp, it's natural to look ahead and make predictions. While some questions about the Baltimore Ravens' roster may remain unanswered until the season begins, there are a few key points that are already clear. Firstly, the Ravens will undoubtedly perform better at home, having won only three games at M&T Bank Stadium last year. This is a significant improvement on their 8-9 record from the previous season, and the team's schedule suggests they will have a happier time in Baltimore. Secondly, Lamar Jackson, the team's quarterback, is expected to have a bounce-back season if he remains healthy. Jackson's prime years are still ahead of him, and the new offensive scheme will suit his playing style. Thirdly, the defense is set to improve, with the Los Angeles Chargers' units under Head Coach Jesse Minter having achieved impressive results in recent years. Fourthly, Derrick Henry, the team's running back, is likely to continue his productive form, despite his age. Henry has had an extraordinary career, and his ability to maintain high performance into his thirties is remarkable. The offensive line will also be better, with new additions to the guard spots, and the team's pass rush is expected to be more aggressive. However, the Ravens' pass catchers are relatively inexperienced, and it remains to be seen who will emerge as the team's top receivers. Finally, Zay Flowers, the team's wide receiver, is likely to sign a contract extension, and the team's new offensive coordinator, Declan Doyle, will be an aggressive play-caller. While there are still many unknowns, these key points provide a solid foundation for the Ravens' 2026 season.
