Strength of schedule for all 32 NFL teams: Easiest and toughest slates in 2024

With a first-place AFC North finish in 2023, the Raven’s future schedule will get even more challenging and stacked with Super Bowl-caliber opponents.

Baltimore will play nine games on the road and eight at M&T Bank Stadium.

The schedule will be highlighted by matchups against their AFC North foes (Steelers, Bengals, Browns), the NFC East, AFC West, the AFC South champ, the NFC South champ, and the AFC East champion.

The league uses multiple factors to determine the year’s game schedule.

There’s a cycle of inter-conference faceoffs; each NFC division rotates through each AFC division every four seasons and the other NFC divisions every three seasons.

In addition, where a team finishes within their division dictates a same-finish matchup with one team from the opposite conference and whichever divisions aren’t in the rotation for that season.
