Predicting the Results of All 17 Ravens Games in 2026

We now know who, when and where.

How does it all shake out?

The schedule-makers have again bestowed upon the football-watching public a full slate of NFL games for the 2026 season, and, though we already knew who the Ravens would be playing, and where they would take place, we now know when.

So, as is our annual tradition here, we’re going to take a wild stab at predicting this year’s games — months before we have any kind of real certainty over what the teams will actually be looking like when they take the field. Why?

‘Cause it’s fun. That’s why.

Week 1

Ravens at Colts

Those of us of a certain age still can taste a hint of bile when we see those horse-shoed helmets, and there’s just a sense now that nothing’s going to change there for anyone who still gets tremors when they see the word “Mayflower.” Still, this is about football, and I’m just going to go ahead and pick the team with Lamar Jackson over the one with a recuperating Daniel Jones or a healthy Riley Leonard.

Ravens 27 Colts 16

Week 2

Saints at Ravens (1-0)

The Saints may be a team on the way up, especially considering the second half of their first season under coach Kellen Moore. But I think they’re still a step or two behind where the Ravens are at the current moment, and there will be a fired-up home crowd for Coach Jesse Minter’s debut in Charm City.

Ravens 34 Saints 20

Week 3

Ravens (2-0) at Cowboys

Welcome to Brazil! These international games confound me, and I’m just never very confident predicting how they will go. But Dallas does have a good offense, even though nobody really knows what to think about their defense yet. I think the Ravens should win. So, naturally, I’m picking Dallas.

Cowboys 33 Ravens 27

Week 4

Titans at Ravens (2-1)

Remember when Eddie George and Steve McNair were leading the Titans in those epic rivalry games with the Ravens in the early 2000s? Ooh, how about Derrick Henry and Jeffery Simmons and company giving the Ravens all they could handle at the start of the Lamar Jackson era? Yeah, this is not either of those times.

Ravens 41 Titans 16

Week 5

Ravens (3-1) at Falcons

The Falcons are a weird team, in that they have some impressive pieces (Bijan Robinson and Drake London) and some young pass-rushers and defensive backs that give you a hint at something that could become good. They’re also being led by Kevin Stefanski, who weirdly gave the Ravens all they could handle in many of their matchups when he was in Cleveland. But they also have Tua.

Ravens 23 Falcons 6

Week 6

Ravens (4-1) at Browns

The Ravens will get a look at an old friend as Todd Monken takes control of the Browns. Unfortunately for Monken, he also takes control of the players on the Browns, including all 913,246 players in the quarterback room.

Week 7

Bengals at Ravens (5-1)

This one will have a lot of eyes on it, and the online content creators for both sides might end up in a Battle Royale in Fells Point the night before. The Bengals have an improved defense, in my opinion, with upgrades at safety and along the defensive line. Still, I think the Ravens have an improved defense, too. This one will be fun.

Ravens 27 Bengals 24

Week 8

Ravens (6-1) at Bills

The Bills have kind of had the Ravens’ number lately, largely due to a rash of weird picks, drops, fumbles and… did I say fumbles? I think the Ravens have the team to go up to Buffalo and take this one, and they might have another crack in the playoffs. But give me the home team in this one.

Bills 33 Ravens 31

Week 9

Jaguars at Ravens (6-2)

The Jaguars are a better team than they’ve been for the vast majority of their tenure, particularly since the glory days of Tony Boselli, Jimmy Smith and Fred Taylor. And there’s a lot to like there. That being said, there are still some questions, even at quarterback, and the Ravens typically do a good job of bouncing back after a loss.

Ravens 30 Jaguars 24

Week 10

Chargers at Ravens (7-2)

Is Jim Harbaugh looking to exact some revenge on the organization that canned his brother? Is Jesse Minter looking to show his former employer what he’s all about? Probably “yes” for both. However, that doesn’t matter one iota. The players will decide it. And I have this vision of Keaton Mitchell breaking loose for a long run to break open a tight game.

Chargers 23 Ravens 17

Week 11

Ravens (7-3) at Panthers

The Panthers won the AFC South last year. Also of note: they had a losing record, and still have a wee little man playing quarterback. I do think the Panthers are building a good roster. I don’t think it’s good enough, particularly with the quarterback situation.

Ravens 37 Panthers 16

Week 12

Ravens (8-3) at Texans

This one is going to be fun. The Texans are one of the best teams on the planet in regards to both rushing the quarterback and covering receivers. The Ravens hope they have improved on both of those topics this offseason. Also, the Texans destroyed an injured Ravens team last year in probably the most humbling loss of a humbling season.

Ravens 24 Texans 23

Week 13

Bye Week.

As in, “buy” stock in Jameson, because I’m Red Zoning it all day without a care in the world.

Week 14

Buccaneers at Ravens (9-3)

Our old friend Baker Mayfield will be paying a visit to Baltimore, and he has a lot of tools at his disposal in Tampa, assuming they can stay healthy. I think this will be a better game than many expect, largely out of respect to Todd Bowles and his ability to confuse offenses. Still, give me Lamar in this flashback matchup.

Ravens 30 Buccaneers 26

Week 15

Ravens (10-3) at Steelers

The Ravens have a better team than the Steelers, particularly when it comes to quarterback. I also like seeing the absence of Mike Tomlin and his ability to muck up every Steelers-Ravens game into a weird street fight that takes the Ravens out of their element. Still, I’ve seen too many of these games to think something different will happen until I see something different happen.

Steelers 3 Ravens 2

Week 16

Browns at Ravens (10-4)

The Browns will be starting their 11^th quarterback of the season, and Myles Garrett will be sitting at 19 sacks despite only facing 27 dropbacks all season. The Ravens should skate through this one.

Ravens 27 Browns 1 Foam Finger

Week 17

Ravens (11-4) at Bengals

This could be a ton of fun, if both quarterbacks are still healthy and if the Bengals’ defense hasn’t… you know… become a Bengals defense. I do think this will be one of the games of the year, either way.

Bengals 41 Ravens 40

Week 18

Steelers at Ravens (11-5)

Read Week 15.

Steelers 3 Ravens 2

Final Record: 11-6
