Ravens vs Titans Prediction
I’ll stick with the Ravens. Baltimore is coming off a shootout with Dallas in game three, with 378 yards, 23 first downs and 6.5 yards per play for the Ravens. Trouble is, Baltimore also went just 3-of-9 on third downs and had nine team penalties for 78 yards. The defense gave up 415 yards and 27 first downs on the other side, but it was still a solid road win against a plucky Dallas squad.
As for Tennessee, their defense held the Giants to 238 yards, 4.1 yards per play, 16 first downs and 4-of-13 on third-down tries last weekend. New York even committed 10 penalties for 88 yards. The Titans couldn’t overcome the 5-of-13 on third downs and two turnovers on the offensive side, though. It resulted in just 262 yards overall. Tennessee has a lot of work to do.
