The Ravens will need to start hot and finish strong.

The start of the 2025 schedule is reminiscent to their Ravens' 2024 slate. It's tough from the jump.

In their first six games, the Ravens will face five reigning division winners: the Bills, Lions, Chiefs, Texans, and Rams. That's a stiff test that will set an early leader in the AFC title race and could determine playoff seeding by season's end.

The Ravens will face two fellow top AFC contenders (Chiefs and Bills) in the first four weeks. Last year, it was the Chiefs in Week 1 and Bills in Week 4. This year, it's flipped. Plus the Lions are a Super Bowl favorite in the NFC. Those three teams alone went 43-8 last season.
