With AI being popular these days, we’ve sought some extra guidance on how this season will turn out for the Baltimore Ravens. We asked Grok to make some predictions about this season’s outcome
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all the rage, and its uses encompass everything from music to predicting election outcomes and outlining the NFL schedule. The 2025 season can’t start soon enough for the Baltimore Ravens, who have one of the best quarterbacks, running backs, receiving groups, and tight end duos in the NFL.
The Ravens’ first-place finish in the AFC North will give John Harbaugh’s team an even more demanding schedule in 2025. Baltimore’s schedule will be one of the most challenging in the league. They will face the gauntlet of juggernauts in the NFC North and AFC East and the division winners in the AFC West, NFC West, and AFC South.
With AI being popular these days, we’ve now sought some additional guidance on how this season will turn out for Baltimore. We asked Grok to make some predictions about how this season will go for the Ravens.
Here is what Grok came up with for a game-by-game prediction for John Harbaugh’s team.
Baltimore usually starts the regular season slow, and 2025 is no different, as Josh Allen makes more plays late.
Ravens Wire prediction: Loss (0-1)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Ravens face a tough opener against the Bills, who eliminated them in the 2024 playoffs in a snowy divisional round game. Baltimore previously beat Buffalo 35-10 at home in 2024, showing they can handle Josh Allen’s offense. With warmer conditions and a motivated Ravens squad led by Lamar Jackson and Roquan Smith seeking revenge, they have a chance to steal a road win. However, Buffalo’s home-field advantage and potent offense make this a close contest. The Ravens’ upgraded secondary (e.g., Malaki Starks) could help contain Allen, but third-and-long situations will be critical.Prediction: Ravens win, 27-24 (motivated by playoff loss, but it Lill close game).Record: 1-0
In a matchup against former Ravens star Joe Flacco, Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry dominate.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (1-1)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Browns were not a significant threat in 2024, and their quarterback uncertainty persists. The Ravens, dominant at home against Cleveland in recent years, should capitalize on this mismatch. Lamar Jackson’s dual-threat ability and Derrick Henry’s rushing attack should overwhelm Cleveland’s defense. This is one of the “easiest” games on the schedule.
Prediction: Ravens win, 34-17 (home dominance and Browns’ struggles).Record: 2-0
Dan Campbell’s team heads to Baltimore for a physical matchup, where the Ravens win late on a Tyler Loop field goal.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (2-1)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: A primetime home game against the NFC North champion Lions, who boast a strong offense led by Jared Goff and a stout defense with Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions are adjusting to new coordinators, which could cause early-season issues. The Ravens’ strong home performance (high success rate in primetime) and ability to exploit NFC opponents give them an edge, but Detroit’s balanced roster makes this a tough fight. The Ravens’ run game, led by Henry, could be slowed by Detroit’s reinforced front, but Jackson’s playmaking should prevail.
Prediction: Ravens win, 30-27 (tight game, Jackson’s clutch plays seal it).Record: 3-0
Similarly to 2024, the slow-developing Ravens start off 2-2 after a sloppy loss to the Chiefs.
Ravens Wire prediction: Loss (2-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: Facing the Chiefs in Kansas City is a daunting task. The Ravens are 1-6 against Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs, with their lone win at home. Kansas City’s defense, led by Steve Spagnuolo, has historically troubled Jackson, and the short-week road game adds difficulty. Despite Baltimore’s strong roster, Arrowhead Stadium’s atmosphere and Mahomes’ clutch performance tip the scales.
Prediction: Chiefs win, 31-27 (Ravens keep it close but fall short).Record: 3-1
These two teams are all too familiar, and Baltimore is so much better than Houston, and that recipe will continue.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (3-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Ravens dominated Houston twice in 2023 and routed them 31-2 on Christmas 2024, with the Texans failing to score an offensive touchdown in their last three meetings. Houston’s revamped offensive line and QB C.J. Stroud’s development make them tougher, but Baltimore’s defense, bolstered by rookies Malaki Starks and Mike Green, should stifle Stroud again. Home-field advantage seals it.
Prediction: Ravens win, 28-16 (Ravens’ defense overwhelms Texans).Record: 4-1
The Rams head east for the second time this season (Eagles), and the results are the same, as Lamar Jackson and the Ravens prove too physical for the NFC West power.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (4-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Rams, NFC West champions, are a formidable opponent with Matthew Stafford and a strong offense. The Ravens’ home advantage and 14-3 post-bye record under John Harbaugh (one of the NFL’s best) give them a boost. The game could mirror their tight 2023 overtime battle, but Baltimore’s improved defense and Jackson’s red-zone efficiency should make the difference.
Prediction: Ravens win, 27-20 (strong post-bye performance).Record: 5-1
Week 7 Bye
What Grok says:
Analysis: The bye week comes at a good time, allowing the Ravens to rest after a grueling opening stretch against five 2024 playoff teams. Harbaugh’s teams typically perform well post-bye, going 4-1 in 2023 and 4-0 in 2024 after late byes.
The NFL is about learning lessons, and a surging Bears team learns a hard, physical lesson about Derrick Henry at M&T Bank Stadium.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (5-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Bears, with new coach Ben Johnson and an improved offense around QB Caleb Williams, are expected to make a leap in 2025. However, the Ravens’ home dominance and post-bye momentum should overpower Chicago’s young roster. Baltimore’s defense will test Williams, who faces a steep learning curve against their blitz-heavy scheme.
Prediction: Ravens win, 31-20 (Bears improved but outmatched).Record: 6-1
Week 9 @ Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins were once a Super Bowl hopeful, but Mike Green has his breakout performance in a dominant Ravens win.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (6-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: A Thursday night road game against a Dolphins team that split high-scoring games with the Ravens in 2022 and 2023. Miami’s fast-paced offense is dangerous, but the Ravens’ improving defense under coordinator Zach Orr and their ability to control the game’s tempo with their run game should keep Miami in check. Jackson’s road performance in a primetime setting is key.
Prediction: Ravens win, 30-24 (Jackson outduels Tua in a close one).Record: 7-1
Week 10 @ Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings are solid, and Justin Jefferson proves too much for the Ravens’ rebuilt secondary.
Ravens Wire prediction: Loss (6-3)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Vikings’ blitz-heavy defense under Brian Flores, bolstered by additions like Jonathan Allen, poses a significant challenge. QB J.J. McCarthy’s development is a wildcard, but Minnesota’s strong offensive line could keep him upright. The Ravens’ experience against the blitz and Jackson’s mobility give them an edge, but the road environment makes this tough.
Prediction: Vikings win, 26-23 (Flores’ defense disrupts Ravens).Record: 7-2
Week 11 @ Cleveland Browns
In a game where Shedeur Sanders finally lays claim to the starting spot, Baltimore could lay waste to the Kevin Stefanski error with a blowout win.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (7-3)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The second Browns matchup should be another favorable one. Cleveland’s quarterback issues and lackluster 2024 season suggest they’ll struggle against Baltimore’s dominant rushing attack and improved pass rush. The Ravens’ historical success in Cleveland seals this road win.
Prediction: Ravens win, 34-14 (Ravens cruise).Record: 8-2
Week 12 vs. New York Jets
Justin Fields is still developing, and Baltimore smacks Aaron Glenn’s improving squad at M&T Bank Stadium.
Ravens Wire predicts: Win (8-3)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Jets, with a strong defense led by Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner, could pose problems, but their offense, likely led by Justin Fields or a rookie QB, lacks consistency. The Ravens’ home advantage and ability to exploit the Jets’ offensive line weaknesses should lead to a comfortable win.
Prediction: Ravens win, 27-17 (Ravens control the trenches).Record: 9-2
Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Baltimore will face the Bengals twice in two weeks, and they secure a victory at home behind the legs of Lamar Jackson on Amazon Prime.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (9-3)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: A Thanksgiving night home game against the Bengals, who played the Ravens close in 2024 (41-38 OT, 35-34 wins). Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase can exploit Baltimore’s defense, but the Ravens’ home crowd and defensive adjustments under Zach Orr should limit Cincinnati’s explosiveness. Jackson’s big-game mentality shines.
Prediction: Ravens win, 34-31 (high-scoring shootout).Record: 10-2
In the first of two games against the Steelers, Baltimore harasses Aaron Rodgers into his worst performance as a Steeler.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (10-3)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Ravens swept Pittsburgh at home in 2024, including a playoff win. The Steelers’ quarterback uncertainty (possibly Aaron Rodgers) and strong defensive front led by T.J. Watt make them dangerous, but Baltimore’s home dominance and Jackson’s success against Pittsburgh give them the edge.
Prediction: Ravens win, 28-20 (Ravens’ offense overpowers Steelers).Record: 11-2
Week 15 @ Cincinnati Bengals
In a game that the Bengals badly need, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins go off against a Ravens secondary that they’ve had success against at home.
Ravens Wire prediction: Loss (10-4)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The second Bengals game is a road test. Cincinnati’s offense, led by Burrow, is a threat, but their defensive questions remain. The Ravens’ strong AFC North record (aiming for a third straight division title) and ability to pressure Burrow with their pass rush (Mike Green) should secure a split.
Prediction: Ravens win, 30-27 (another close divisional battle).Record: 12-2
Week 16 vs New England Patriots
Mike Vrabel’s team is improving, but it is no match for a Baltimore team looking to overcome the Super Bowl hump.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (11-4)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Patriots, in a rebuilding phase with a new coach and young QB, are one of the weaker teams on the schedule. The Ravens’ superior talent and home-field advantage should lead to a dominant performance, with their defense overwhelming New England’s offense.
Prediction: Ravens win, 35-13 (blowout win at home).Record: 13-2
Week 17 @ Green Bay Packers
The NFL is full of Super Bowl previews, and this showdown in Lambeau Field sees the Ravens looking ahead to the season finale.
Ravens Wire prediction: Loss (11-5)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The Packers, with a strong roster and QB Jordan Love, are a tough road opponent. Their 2024 success and home-field advantage at Lambeau Field make this a challenge. The Ravens’ road-heavy late schedule and Green Bay’s balanced attack could lead to a slip-up.
Prediction: Packers win, 27-24 (tough road loss).Record: 13-3
Week 18 @ Pittsburgh Steelers
In a game that could secure Baltimore a fourth or fifth seed, the Ravens get a much-needed win ahead of the playoffs.
Ravens Wire prediction: Win (12-5)
What Grok Predicts:
Analysis: The season finale in Pittsburgh is a gritty divisional clash. The Steelers’ defense could keep it close, but their quarterback situation and the Ravens’ motivation to secure a top playoff seed should drive them to a win. Jackson’s historical edge over Pittsburgh seals it.
Prediction: Ravens win, 26-20 (hard-fought road win).Record: 14-3
Final analysis from Grok
“Summary: The Ravens are poised for a strong 2025 season, leveraging their stable roster, Jackson’s MVP-caliber play, and defensive upgrades. Their tough early schedule (facing five 2024 playoff teams in the first six weeks) tests them, but their 37-20 September record under Harbaugh suggests a strong start. Losses to the Chiefs, Vikings, and Packers reflect challenging road games against elite teams, but Baltimore’s dominance in the AFC North (winning both games against Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh) and favorable home matchups position them for a third straight division title and a top-2 AFC seed. Playoff success will depend on overcoming their historical road playoff struggles.”
