Prediction:
The Ravens should have won in Pittsburgh Monday night had stupid penalties and costly turnovers not done them in. Still, Baltimore remains one of the best surprises in the AFC so far this season, and rookie head coach John Harbaugh has them moving in the right direction after a brutal 2007 campaign. But things don’t get any easier this weekend against the undefeated Titans, who have befuddled opponents with great defense so far this year. Tennessee will no doubt look to confuse rookie quarterback Joe Flacco and force him into bad throws, just like they did to veteran signal caller Gus Frerotte last week. With the spread so low, we like the Titans to edge out the Ravens in a great defensive battle. We also like the fact that Baltimore will be coming off a short week, which only helps Tennessee. We predict the Titans over the Ravens 14-10.
