If asked to characterize the general state of mind of Ravens fans in these long months between seasons, I would go with something along the lines of, hm, let’s see … how about dubious?
They’d like to think things will get better in 2018 after three straight non-playoff seasons, but they have doubts.
They’re not alone. According to Bovada, the Las Vegas sports book, the Ravens’ chances of winning Super Bowl 54 have gone down since free agency began last week. They were listed at 40-1 before the shopping season opened; now they’re 50-1. Not a ringing endorsement.
