The Ravens are again among this season’s Super Bowl favorites. They’re also still looking up at the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to Caesars Sportsbook, the Ravens are tied with the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers for the NFL’s fourth-best championship odds, at 14 to 1. Elsewhere in the AFC North, the Cleveland Browns are 16 to 1, the Pittsburgh Steelers are 40 to 1, and the Cincinnati Bengals are 125 to 1.
The defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the second-best odds (6.5 to 1), behind the Kansas City Chiefs (5 to 1). The Buffalo Bills, who knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs last season, have the AFC’s second-best odds (12 to 1).
Quarterback Lamar Jackson has similar company in the NFL Most Valuable Player race. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes, the 2018 MVP, is the favorite, followed by Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, the defending MVP; Buffalo’s Josh Allen; and Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady. Jackson has the fifth-best odds (16 to 1), according to Caesars, tied with the Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott.
Ravens outside linebacker Odafe Oweh has 25-to-1 odds to be named the Defensive Rookie of the Year, while wide receiver and fellow first-round pick Rashod Bateman is an 80-to-1 long shot to win Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
