Baltimore Ravens (4-4) at Tennessee Titans (4-3)

It’s anyone’s guess which Baltimore Ravens team is going to show up in Week 9. Then again, you could probably say the same for the Tennessee Titans. Either way, it should make this an intriguing matchup between two teams right in the middle of the playoff race.

Unfortunately for the Titans, I believe the Ravens will have their number in this one. Tennessee has limped its way to 4-3, and is about to find out the hard way what it’s like to suffer defeat at the hands of an elite defense.

I mean, come on, the Titans nearly dropped a game against the Browns prior to their bye week. They put up a few field goals and waited until overtime to seal the deal. If that’s the best Marcus Mariota and Co. can do against one of the NFL’s two winless clubs, it’s going to be a long day trying to move the ball against Baltimore’s outstanding defense.

We obviously can’t depend on the Ravens offense to set off too many fireworks of their own. That’s why I’m going to say the Baltimore defense puts a couple of touchdowns on the board like last week, making this game look more lopsided than it actually is.

Prediction: Ravens win 20-7
