The Baltimore Ravens odds to win the Super Bowl have taken a turn for the better following the news of Lamar Jackson’s new contract, making him the highest-paid quarterback in the league. Before re-signing Jackson, the Ravens had +3000 odds to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM. However, after signing the deal, their odds improved to +1800. As a result, the Ravens now have the eighth-best odds to win the Super Bowl.
As for the division, the Bengals are still favored to win the AFC North with +115 odds, but the Ravens have jumped into second place at +275. The Browns follow with +325 odds, and the Steelers are at +600.
Ian Rapoport reported the breaking news on Twitter just before the NFL Draft. Jackson is now the highest-paid QB in the league.

Later that night, Baltimore then provided Jackson with more help on offense, drafting Boston College wide receiver Zay Flowers in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Ravens faced several injuries last season, including one to Lamar Jackson, which kept him out of several games down the stretch. Despite making the playoffs in five of the last six seasons, the Ravens have not advanced beyond the Divisional Round. With Jackson back in the saddle, could this be the year?
Overall, the Ravens’ improved odds to win the Super Bowl and their offseason additions show they are a team to watch in the upcoming season. Lamar Jackson’s new contract solidifies his place as the Ravens’ franchise QB for a potential Super Bowl run next season.
