Ravens vs. Titans pick, predictions, live stream and odds for Wild Card playoff matchup
Ravens vs. Titans pick, prediction, odds and game information for the 2021 Wild Card playoffs.
The Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans have grown more familiar with one another recently than anyone could’ve expected. It was Derrick Henry and Co. that sent Lamar Jackson and the purple gang home seemingly prematurely in the NFL Playoffs a year ago. So as fate would have it, Baltimore will look to exact revenge as they visit Nissan Stadium on Sunday in the Wild Card Round.
Winners of the AFC South, the Titans have endured a bit of a roller coaster season. Henry, Ryan Tannehill and a potent offense have carried them to success. Having said that, their defense has been a bit concerning. Though healthier now, you have to wonder how much the return of some players will impact them on that side of the ball.
That’s especially true when you consider what the Ravens have done as of late. After some stumbles early in the year, Jackson and the offense have been hitting their stride of late, largely thanks to Marquise Brown‘s emergence as a consistent receiving option and rookie running back J.K. Dobbins hitting his stride.
The air should be thick with revenge in Nashville on Sunday but fans should be in store for a wildly entertaining Wild Card Weekend contest. So what do you need to know? We have every angle covered to help you out.

The hook on this point spread is incredibly enticing. There is a good chance that this comes down to a one-possession game and, if that’s the case, it could very well come down to a field goal. Thus, you have to look at the Titans as an underdog against the spread and at least consider it.
As for the total, my only concern is that the over is too obvious of a play. These are two of the better offenses in the league going up against defenses that have proven to be susceptible. We should see a lot of scoring and my gut still says the over should hit comfortably.
Pick, prediction for Ravens vs. Titans
Make no mistake, the Titans have had Baltimore’s number over the past year. Whether it was the Divisional Round of the playoffs in 2020 or in this past regular season. But the Ravens have seemingly found their mojo as of late and, frankly, the Tennessee defense is decidedly worse in terms of their performance on the field than they were a year ago.

This is going to be a high-scoring, back-and-forth affair as I expect Jackson, Henry and Tannehill to all have their say in this game. When it’s all said and done, however, my pick is for the Ravens and their young quarterback to finally get over a proverbial hump by notching a win over their rivals and advancing in the postseason.
Final Score: Baltimore 34, Tennessee 31
