Let's be honest, no one was really surprised to see the Tennessee Titans win on Wild Card Weekend. This was not the same New England Patriots and as much as people couldn't see it happening, it was no surprise. If Ryan Tannehill and the Titans win at Baltimore in the AFC Divisional Round, that would shock the world.

The Ravens are on a 12-game win streak and are running the football against anyone or anything put in front of them. Baltimore rushed for 206 yards per game on their way to leading the league in points. This is a lopsided matchup on paper. The Ravens cannot afford to take the Titans lightly.

Tennessee is playing confident football. They are one of the hottest teams in the league since Tannehill took over the quarterback duties from Marcus Mariota. Plus, they are the underdog. No one expects them to win this game so all of the pressure in on Baltimore.

Can the Titans pull it off?

This is not a bad matchup for the Titans. They have a similar style of play as the Ravens. Baltimore led the league in rushing yards per game and Tennessee was third. Derrick Henry won the rushing title this season. He went on a tear against the Patriots in the Wild Card game.

Henry is the X-Factor in this game. The Titans need to establish the run early. What this will do is slow the game down and keep the Ravens' offense off the field. The Titans' offensive line is one of the best in run blocking and that will need to continue in this one.

Since taking over the starting job, Tannehill has been playing at an elite level for the Titans. What a crazy statement that is, but it's true. Tannehill has thrown 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. He will need to take care of the ball once again on the road.

Tannehill threw one bad interception against the Patriots. On second down, he threw a deep ball where they seemed to be miscommunication with his receiver. The Titans got away with that mistake but they might not against that offense in Baltimore.

If Tannehill and Henry are on their game, the Titans can beat anyone left. Let's not forget that Mike Vrabel is doing an incredible job as head coach. This may seem like a one-sided matchup, but the Titans may shock the world in this one. Anything is possible in the playoffs.
