Titans Cover as Ravens Sleepwalk Through Six-Point Win at Home

The DarkHorse pick hit clean: Titans +12 cashed easily in a 24-18 Ravens win that felt closer than even the final score suggests. Baltimore's bizarre home/road split reared its ugly head again, as Lamar Jackson and company looked pedestrian in front of their own crowd, managing just 24 points against a Tennessee defense that came to play.

The Titans' 19.67 ppg allowed average held up beautifully — they kept Baltimore's offense in check all afternoon, forcing field goals instead of touchdowns and making the Ravens grind for every yard. Tennessee's 18 points were enough to stay comfortably within the number, and that backdoor we warned about? It was wide open all game. Baltimore never pulled away, never put their foot on the gas, and certainly never looked like a team capable of covering double digits at home.

This was textbook situational handicapping. The Ravens are world-beaters on the road but turn into pumpkins at M&T Bank Stadium. We said 12 points was too many for a team averaging 17 at home, and we were right. Tennessee didn't need to win — they just needed to show up, and they did. Another W for The Stable, another reminder that home favorites aren't always what they're cracked up to be.
