OTL: Ravens are Underdogs in Buffalo, & That’s Good News

At long last, Week 1 is upon us:

We are now just one day away from the start of the 2025 NFL season, with the Eagles and Cowboys getting us underway on TNF, and just a few days away from the Ravens season opener in Buffalo. To kick things off, Pro Football Talk listed Baltimore 4th in the league power rankings:

I understand the rankings, but I can’t imagine KC is the second-best team in the league at this point (that’s probably going to bite me in the behind later). The Ravens follow Buffalo, which is in-line with the Vegas lines heading into Sunday night. Historically, Jackson playing the underdog goes pretty well:

As excitement for the new season culminates, I do have to share my predictions, which I’ll weave in throughout today’s Out to Lunch. But first, let’s take a look at Good Morning Football’s:

I’ll start by saying I do agree with each of the hosts that the Baltimore Ravens will win the AFC North once again. The reason? There’s primarily one:

But even aside from Jackson, Ravens fans have a ton to be excited about. Looking at the newly released PR Depth Chart, there’s studs all over the place:

This is a young, talented team, and it’s illustrated in the fact that three rookies are listed as starters. Speaking of rookies, ESPN expects big things from S Malaki Starks:

Despite being talked about plenty, could this draft pick still be going under the radar? Starks really is the perfect fit for this defense and will slide straight into a major role with the opportunity to capitalize.

Meanwhile, the more talked about rookie, Mike Green, is getting DROY shouts:

There’s certainly potential for both rookies to win the award, and while I do understand it’ll typically go to an EDGE rusher, I have a feeling Starks could be in line for a huge season. And, as I’ve noted a few times this offseason, Green has healthy competition.

Tavius Robinson is a name we continue to see more of, and the Ravens released some footage of his time with Jarret Johnson a few weeks back:

Robinson and Green are different players, so I don’t expect him to directly block the rookie, but it could limit some snaps. Either way, fans are excited for Green, so sound off on this in the comments:

But back to predictions. The Ravens will win their division with a 13-4 record and the top seed in the AFC. My full playoff predictions are below:

AFC: Ravens, Bills, Broncos, Jaguars | Bengals, Chiefs, Titans

NFC: Eagles, Packers, 49ers, Falcons | Commanders, Lions, Cardinals

But of course, for Ravens fans to be happy, the team needs to produce in the playoffs. To me, there will be two keys to that. First, Lamar Jackson has to continue to step up his game, which Jamison Hensley wrote a piece about on Tuesday:

Second, the defense has to force more turnovers:

If they do that, they’ll win. And this year, I think they will, with a victory over the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

How do you think this season shakes out?
