Will the Titans be able to move to 5-0? I think the answer is in the turnovers. Whoever turns the ball over less will win this game. The Titans and Ravens have had a spirited rivalry going back to 2000. This series has always been based on low scoring, defensive, hard hitting games that usually come down to a field goal.
Some things never change. Both teams have dominant defenses. Both teams have limited offenses that are low risk, low mistake, that try to win the field position battle and will field goal you into submission.
I think the Titans pass russ is slightly better. The Ravens have a rookie QB in Joe Flacco who has looked good so far this year. However, facing a Titans defense on this kind of roll will take it to another level. Willis McGahee is hurt again and is questionable for Sundays game. That is going to put more pressure on Flacco and the running game falls to LeRon MCClain and Ray Rice. The Titans counter with the AFC’s leading rusher in rookie Chris Johnson and Len Dale White. Advantage Titans. Kerry Collins has played well since becoming the Titans Starting QB. Advantage Titans
All that being said I still think it will come down to field positions, field goals, and turnovers. I think the Ravens cover the spread but the Titans win this game 19-17.

This is the ultimate letdown game for the Ravens this week after the hard fought MNF game in Pittsburgh. Titans win this one!

I like this Titans team too! They do alot of things right and if you win 2 of the 3 battles you set yourself up for a win most Sundays!

They always play well against the Titans. I expect a hardfought game.

If they can run the ball and use the tight ends, and win the turnover battle they will win

D—–Fence! Titans will live or die by theirs, while Baltimore always tends to rely on theirs… I agree with the notion that the turnover battle will be the end deciding factor, and I’m taking the Titans to win it 17-14.

Very true! Titans always have strong special teams play and the way Collins is managing the game along with a solid running game, this Titans team is for real. Their D as you said Dan is very good.
Just think if the Titans had a legitimate deep threat at wideout.

The teams that lose on Monday nights tend to bounce back against division rivals the following week. I am picking the Ravens to hand the Titans there first loss. Jersey Jay
