  • Primary Driver: Lamar Jackson's MVP surge could power the Ravens into a championship run while his rivalry with Justin Herbert heats up the QB race.

Lamar Jackson is positioned to deliver an MVP-caliber season, a result that could dramatically boost the Baltimore Ravens' playoff prospects and secure Jackson's place among the league's elite. The stake is clear: a successful campaign would elevate the Ravens' chances for a title and solidify Jackson’s long‑term market value.

A lingering complication is Herbert’s own strong performance, which could contest Jackson’s MVP bid. The heated discussion around Jackson’s resurgence signals that opinions remain divided, and the final MVP calculus will depend on how both quarterbacks finish the season.
