Baltimore Ravens vs. Tennessee Titans: 3 bold predictions
Prediction number 3: Marcus Peters has a pick six:
Marcus Peters is known for his ability to turn bad passes into touchdowns for the defense. Peters is one of the best pick six artists in the game of football. Peters has scored three touchdowns this season (two of them with the Ravens). If the Ravens are going to go on a great playoff run, you’d have to think Peters would have a pick six in there somewhere. This is a great chance for Peters to do what he does best in the postseason.
My prediction has just as much to do with Peters as it does with Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill has picked up the Titans offense and run with it. He’s done a great job this season, but I’ll believe it when I see it sustained. There’s a reason that Tannehill started the season as the backup to Marcus Mariota. His statistical bump up this year is based in an offense where the run game is the foundation and play-action passes are the bread and the butter. If you take away the run game and you make Tannehill beat you, can he? Tannehill still has a lot to prove.

Turnovers could be a real problem for the Titans, especially if the game gets out of their comfort zone. The best pick six bandit the Ravens have is Peters. Peters has played at an incredibly high level since he got his first start with the Ravens against Seattle. Make no mistake about it, he will be a difference maker in playoff football.
