The NFL schedule was released last Wednesday night, and the Ravens<\/a> are scheduled for four prime-time games, including a rare “Monday Night Football” game in Baltimore against the Detroit Lions<\/a> in Week 3.<\/p>\n

Since John Harbaugh became the Ravens<\/a>‘ coach in 2008, Baltimore has only had five home Monday Night games, tied with Houston and Jacksonville for the fewest in those 16 years. Baltimore is the Super Bowl favorite, but the NFL kept the Ravens in nine early afternoon (1:00 PM ET) and two late afternoon contests.<\/p>\n

Pro Football Network<\/a> looked at four teams that deserved more primetime matchups, and Baltimore made the cut.<\/p>\n

This one\u2019s a head-scratcher. The Ravens are consistently one of the league\u2019s top teams, yet they were given fewer prime-time games than the Chicago Bears<\/a>, Dolphins, and Falcons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Baltimore is No. 1 in PFSN’s power rankings heading into 2025, and its offense ranked second in Offense+, trailing only the Detroit Lions<\/a>. The Ravens led the league in EPA per dropback, EPA per rush, and red-zone efficiency. Lamar Jackson was dominant again in an MVP-level year, and he has Derrick Henry in the backfield.<\/p>\n

The Ravens\u2019 defense had some issues against the pass last season, but it still graded out as a top-10 unit in Defense+. With the additions of Malaki Starks and Mike Green in the draft, they should take a leap in 2025.<\/p>\n

Baltimore\u2019s final two games (at Green Bay and Pittsburgh) could be flexed into prime time, giving John Harbaugh’s team six overall.<\/p>\n
