The Ravens (13-4) were the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and had a first round bye after navigating one of the NFL’ most difficult schedules.
With a first place finish in 2023, the schedule will only get even more difficult and after the late Sunday afternoon games, we have some unofficial idea of what the 2024 slate will look like.
Baltimore will play nine games on the road, and eight games at M&T Bank Stadium.
The schedule will be highlighted by matchups against their AFC North foes (Steelers, Bengals, Browns), along with the NFC East, AFC West, along with the AFC South champ, NFC South champ and champion of the AFC East.
The league uses multiple factors in determining the year schedule of games.
There’s a cycle of inter-conference faceoffs; each NFC division rotates through each AFC division every four seasons and the other NFC divisions every three seasons.
In addition, where a team finishes within their division dictates a same-finish matchup with one team from the opposite conference and whichever divisions aren’t in the rotation for that season.
Offering an early glimpse into where the Ravens could finish this season, here’s how Baltimore’s 17-game slate for 2024 stacks up to the rest of the league, in February.
