With the AFC North champion Ravens enjoying a bye week before beginning their push to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis, the completion of the regular season allows us to take a look at what teams await in the 2012 season.
Of course, most of the schedule was already set with the Ravens taking on the AFC West and the NFC East in addition to their annual six AFC North games. The Ravens finishing in the top spot of the AFC North means they will welcome the New England Patriots to Baltimore and travel to Houston to take on the AFC South champion Texans.
The dates and times for their 16 games won’t be revealed until April, but the Ravens now have a better idea of what lies ahead in 2012.
Baltimore’s eight home games: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Oakland, Dallas, New York Giants, New England.
The Ravens’ eight road games: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Kansas City, San Diego, Philadelphia, Washington, Houston.
(Editor’s Note: The NFL confirms the Ravens will host the Denver Broncos and play a road game in San Diego in contrast to previous reports.)
With regular season in books, Ravens' 2012 slate of opponents revealed

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the complicated complications of six decades of Major League Baseball labor history and the bubbling situation for a salary cap. And what will the role of the new Baltimore Orioles ownership be in the looming dogfight?
Profits are up, accountability is down and internal report cards are a no-no for guys like Steve
The NFL continues to rule the sports world even in the slowest of times. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the NFLPA report cards on franchises and transparency and accountability amongst billionaires who can't even get an Epstein List regular who just hired John Harbaugh to come to light and off their ownership ledgers. We'd ask Steve Bisciotti about it, but of course he's evaporated again for a while...
