Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow headline fixture for Ravens in 2023

Cincinnati Bengals v Baltimore Ravens

For many, the AFC North is a two-horse race next season between the Ravens and Bengals. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns are not thought to be a threat, despite the potential improvement next season.

That makes Jackson and Burrow's two meetings incredibly important when it comes to winning the division.

Jackson defeated the Bengals 19-17 in Week 5 last year. But the Ravens, without Jackson, lost the Week 18 matchup 16-27 along with the Wildcard playoff game the following week 17-24.

So, the pair are expected to be at the top of the AFC rankings and will be duelling it out for AFC North supremacy.

Baltimore Ravens have a promising schedule next season

Baltimore Ravens GM Eric DeCosta

The Ravens, on paper, don't have the hardest schedule by any means. Looking at who Baltimore will face next season, there are a host of winnable games.

Jackson will host the likes of the Rams, Colts, Texans, and Seahawks; while travelling to face the Titans, Cardinals, and Chargers. So that, along with the division games, has the potential to set Baltimore up for a deep playoff run.

Of course, games aren't won on paper, but Baltimore appear to have a favorable draw for next season. They just have to capitalize on it.
