The Baltimore Ravens get the Tennessee Titans in the AFC’s divisional round of the NFL playoffs. Fresh off beating the New England Patriots and gashing them on the ground with running back Derrick Henry, many pundits are viewing the Titans as a legitimate threat now.
But sadly for Tennessee, they’ll get the best team in the league in Baltimore. And from the predictions around the league, everyone expects the Ravens to stop the Titans and move on to the AFC Championship Game.
Let’s take a look at what the experts are saying about this game with their predictions.
