The Tennessee Titans need to be a team driven by an offense that takes advantage of what the defense gives them and a defense that is opportunistic and sound fundamentally.

They will need both of those things to be true against the Baltimore Ravens, and even then we have seen other playoff teams lose to the Ravens because of some of the special talent on that roster.

Derrick Henry is still full go and the entire complement of offensive weapons (aside from Adam Humphries) is available, so like all season I feel confident in the offense’s ability to score points.

Unfortunately, I just can’t trust Dean Pees to stop a mobile QB. I have seen him get embarrassed by Deshaun Watson more than once because of his legs and the game plan he used in the Super Bowl that everyone uses as a reference, didn’t work.

Unfortunately I think a fresh Ravens team may be inconsistent to start but once they shake off the rust they will be ready to go and make the second and third quarter difficult before a final stand by the Titans in the fourth.

Final score prediction: Ravens 31, Titans 28
