Breakin It Down: Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans

Breakin it down is 5 key stories plus a pick for each postseason game this season.

Which QB Likes the Interception More?
On one sideline you have a man who always looks like he's one interception away from a bottle of Jack Daniels. On the other sideline you have a man who still sports a Unibrow even though he's a professional athlete. Both Quarterbacks had good years, but are far from trustworthy. So which one decides to get on the pick six train first? The boozer or the unibrow?

When Shall Ed Reed Score a Touchdown
Last week I said it seems like Ed Reed scores a touchdown every game, and well he did. Is there a QB that's more likely to throw a dagger interception for a touchdown to Ed Reed than Kerry Collins? Well Chadwick obviously, but Kerry is a close second.

Which Backfield Breaks a Big Gain?
Both teams are built on their defense and their ability to run the football. The problem is this game they are playing a mirror image of each other. Both teams are built to stuff the run. The Titans have the big guns up front to deal with the beating Le'Ron gives and have the quickness at Linebacker to run down Willis or Rice. Meanwhile Ray Lewis is always putting his hat on the opposing running back.

How Healthy is the Titan Front 4?
The Titans are expected to get Haynsworth and Vanden Boche back for Sautrday's game and they better be healthy and ready to go. If Haynesworth ever goes down during the game than the Titans could be in serious serious trouble.

Slim to None?
In their first meeting Kerry Collins engineered an 11 play drive touchdown as time was winding down to defeat the Ravens 13-10. The chances of that happening again are slim to none right?

The Pick
I'm going Titans solely because of homefield advantage. These teams are essentially the same. Built on their defenses and run. A shaky QB who could make a mistake at any time. I do believe Chris Johnson is the most likely of all running backs to break a big run, so slight advantage there. This has 13-10 written all over it. If you don't like defense than this is not your game.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
