And boy is it an ugly one. So disect it if you wish.
Balt is has of the better defenses in the league. Apparently they think that since they have a better offense this year then the defense doesn't have to be as good because they are no where near last years defense. Baltimore is still close to the top of the league in rushing def, but they have really dropped off in the pass defense.
Tenn appears to be in shambles, but could have really saved their season in last weeks win versus Jacksonville. Tenn's offense appears to be getting back on track this year. In the last 3 out of 4 games they have scored an average of 29 pts. I don't think they will get that tonight, but I think they are better than when they played Balt earlier this year. One thing is a fact and that is that George won't be able to run the ball against Balt. He hasn't hit 100yds rushing the last 7 games against Baltimore.
If the Titans are going to win this game they cannot try and play smash mouth football. They are going to have to really air it out against a slumping ravens pass defense. In the last 4 games the Ravens have given up an avg of 257 passing yds while limiting the run fairly well. The Titans will exploit the Ravens secondary for who they really are. In 3 of those games they faced mobile qb's (Stewart, Brunell, and Favre). That bodes well for Tenn as McNair is a rushing threat. In Tenn's last 4 games since the Ravens, McNair is averaging 215 yds, 3 of which went over 215.
Word on McNair is he is under the weather with the flu, but I feel that is an advantage. When someone isn't 100% they tend to have big games. So with that being said here is the biggest play of the year.
