Ravens 2013 Opponents Set

The NFL is one of the only professional leagues where your next year's schedule is determined as soon as the regular season is over.

Greg Bartram-USA TODAY Sports

The Baltimore Ravens ruled the roost in the AFC North for the second consecutive season. Along with that honor comes the daunting task of having to play the other AFC division winners during the following season. This means that in 2013, in addition to the rotating divisions that the AFC North plays each year in both the AFC and NFC, the Ravens will play the other first place teams in the two divisions they don't play in that rotating schedule.

The Ravens will of course play the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns in their home-and-away series, totaling six games. All of the AFC North teams will be playing all of the teams in the AFC East and NFC North in 2013.

In addition, the Ravens will play the first place team in both the AFC South and the AFC West, meaning that they will face the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos next year. This makes their schedule tougher than the rest of the AFC North, who will respectively play the second, third and fourth place teams in those divisions depending on where they finished in the AFC North.

For example, while the Ravens play the Texans and Broncos, the Bengals will play the Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers and the Steelers will play the Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders. The 4th place Browns get the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs. It doesn't seem fair but that's the formula the NFL lives by, as rank gets its privileges.

Below is the full 2013 NFL regular season schedule:
