Who’s Chasing Baltimore?

While Baltimore is the early frontrunner, seven other teams are right in the mix:

Buffalo Bills (+600) – Analysts see Josh Allen’s resilience making Buffalo a prime challenger.

Philadelphia Eagles (+650 to +700) – Defending NFC champs, loaded on both lines.

Kansas City Chiefs (+750 to +850) – Patrick Mahomes never leaves the contender list.

Detroit Lions (+900 to +1100) – A rising powerhouse with a gritty identity.

Sportsbooks like ESPN, SI.com, and Vegas Insider currently list the Ravens, Bills, and Eagles as co-favorites, while the Chiefs trail slightly but remain perennial threats.

Why Baltimore Stands Out

Three major factors fuel the Ravens’ early Super Bowl hype:

Lamar Jackson’s Growth – Already a 2x MVP, Jackson is entering his prime with improved passing consistency.

Offensive Balance – Adding Derrick Henry to an already dominant rushing attack makes Baltimore’s offense unpredictable.

Elite Defense – The Ravens allowed just 17.2 points per game last season, ranking 2nd in the NFL.

As Times of India noted, Jackson is “redefining the quarterback role,” putting Baltimore in a prime position to finally capture another Lombardi (Times of India).

Final Prediction

While it’s still early, the Ravens’ blend of star power, depth, and coaching stability puts them slightly ahead of the field. The Bills and Eagles look like the most likely challengers, while the Chiefs and Lions lurk as dangerous threats.

If Baltimore stays healthy, Super Bowl LX could be the moment Lamar Jackson cements his legacy—and finally lifts the Lombardi Trophy.
