Predicting the Ravens' prime-time matchups ahead of 2024 NFL schedule release

The NFL’s schedule announcement is a yearly celebration of what’s to come, and all 32 teams are less than 12 hours away from learning who they’ll play and when.

The one official matchup will see Baltimore travel to Kansas City to face the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs in a rematch of the AFC title game Ravens lost, 17-10. John Harbaugh’s team is one of the best draws and must-see television thanks to Lamar Jackson and newly signed running back Derrick Henry, and they should have several matchups played under the lights.

With the leaks and rumors continuing, we’re predicting the Baltimore Ravens’ prime-time matchups ahead of the 2024 NFL schedule release

America’s most popular team hosting Lamar Jackson and the Ravens could be a ratings bonanza.
