Yearly 2004 to 2008

Baltimore Ravens

In season 2007 Ravens ranked 30th on Yards/Pass Att Differential at -1.32.
In season 2008 they ranked 4th at 1.68, up 11.19 points per game on this one stat.
From 2007 to 2008 Ravens improved by 15.6 points per game on Winning Margin.


The Ravens are tough.

But Coach Jeff Fisher's Tennessee Titans have gotten stronger on Giveaways moving from 4th to 3rd and adding 5.2 PPG.

QB Collins has the edge in experience over Ravens' QB Flacco. If the two teams play to statistical form it will be a close contest. The Titans were tabbed in the 3rd week as the likely Super Bowl victor. Sticking to that projection the electronic hardware favors the Titans over the Ravens by 2.
