After a light and fluffy 2011 schedule, the Ravens 2012 opponents were released on Monday.  Baltimore will play all the teams of the always overhyped NFC East and Tim Tebow’s AFC West.

Though the dates won’t be released until April, here’s the home and road games according to Ryan Mink of BaltimoreRavens.com.

Home games: Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants.

Away Games: Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles.

Mink points out that the Broncos won the AFC West with a .500 record and the Giants won the NFC East at 9-7.

Though no division is more difficult than the Ravens’ AFC North.
