The Baltimore Ravens were widely considered to have one of the best hauls from the 2020 NFL Draft. They addressed key needs, found long-term replacements, and bolstered both their offensive and defensive lines. Their 10-man draft class earned rave reviews at the time and it has oddsmakers still believing in them . . . albeit still not enough to surpass the Kansas City Chiefs, who have the best odds to win Super Bowl LV.
According to BetMGM, Baltimore has the second-best odds to win Super Bowl LV. The +700 odds fall right behind the Chiefs’ +650, outpacing the third-place San Francisco 49ers at +900.
The Ravens found their new starting linebacker in Patrick Queen, who they selected in the first round. With Baltimore’s legacy of first-round linebackers all exceeding expectations, Queen is expected to kickstart his NFL career in a big way in the middle of the Ravens’ defense. Wide receiver Devin Duvernay is also expected to see the field as a rookie and provide even more speed to Baltimore’s dangerous offense. Running back J.K. Dobbins might not get a ton of playing time as a rookie despite his second-round draft status, but he seems to be the eventual heir to Mark Ingram as early as next season. Offensive linemen Tyre Phillips and Ben Bredeson will be thrust into the competition for starting jobs this offseason while providing much-needed versatility at a few different spots.
For as good of a draft class as the Ravens got, their odds didn’t actually improve any from beforehand. Both Kansas City and Baltimore have the same exact odds as from back in February. Though that could be because the Chiefs also had a pretty solid draft, somehow getting even faster with the selections of running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, linebacker Willie Gay, and safety L’Jarius Sneed.
If you’re a big believer in what Baltimore did in the 2020 NFL Draft and think they’ll be able to get over the hump to win Super Bowl LV, it could lead to quite a windfall. According to BetMGM, a $100 bet on the Ravens would return $700 on top of your money if they won Super Bowl LV.
