Lamar Jackson<\/a><\/strong> in their arsenal, the Titans will have their job cut out for them on Saturday evening. That is due to Jackson\u2019s ability to read plays and create runs with the help of Derrick Henry, who is the NHL\u2019s leading rusher and it matters, as stats have shown it wears down the other teams.<\/p>\nThe Titans will need to step up to the plate right from the get-go and defend against the onslaught that is sure to come from the Ravens, who during the regular season had the large first-quarter margins. If Tennessee falls behind early in the game, it may be one they cannot overcome however if they manage to reverse the Raven\u2019s plan of attack, they could very well pull off this season\u2019s biggest upset. <\/p>\n
In order to do that, Tennessee will need to keep constant pressure of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry<\/strong>, but they will also need to depend on quarterback Ryan Tannehill<\/strong>, one of the top five in the league\u2019s second half this season. He is known for making accurate and often tough passes but, so far in the post-season, he seems to be missing the mark, and that could have a substantial impact on the titan\u2019s ability to hold the Raven\u2019s at bay.<\/p>\nPrediction:<\/strong> Baltimore Ravens to win
\nOdds to Win:<\/strong> Baltimore Ravens 1.22<\/em> | Tennessee Titans 4.35<\/em><\/p>\nHouston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs<\/h3>\n
(Sunday, January 12th, 15:05 ET<\/strong>)<\/p>\nThe last time Houston and Kansas met in week 6, the result saw the Texans going home with the win, but times have changed as that loss was, in part, resultant on Quarterback Patrick Mahomes<\/strong> sidelined with an injury to his ankle, and now, the star QB is healthy. Whether Houston will be able to repeat that performance is another thing but to do so they will need quarterback Deshaun Watson<\/strong> producing and being at the top of his game as he was the last time the two met. <\/p>\nThe Chiefs will need to push hard against Houston\u2019s defence, which is not the greatest. During the regular season, the Texans were poor in touchdown passes having given up 33 of them, and that put them fourth worst in the league. But they are sixth best in opposing quarterbacks and that, with some finesse could see the Chiefs come away with the win.<\/p>\n
Prediction:<\/strong> Kansas City Chiefs to win
\nOdds to Win:<\/strong> Kansas City Chiefs 1.21<\/em> | Houston Texans 4.50<\/em><\/p>\nSeattle Seahawks vs Green Bay Packers<\/h3>\n
(Sunday, January 12th, 16:40 ET<\/strong>)<\/p>\nGreen Bay Packers and Seattle are set to meet on Sunday, and for coach Matt LaFleur, who is in his first year as head coach, it is looking good after winning NFC North division championship, a first for the Packers since 2016. Green Bay ended their regular season with a record of 13-3 thanks to quarterback Aaron Rodgers<\/strong> leading the team with 26 touchdown passes and 4,002 passing yards<\/em>. Seattle will have to contend with Rodgers finding his groove, and that puts them as favourites to win on Sunday. <\/p>\nThe Seahawks, who are the underdogs also will need to focus attention towards Aaron Jones<\/a><\/strong>. The running back was a big part of the Packers offensive success scoring 16 rushing touchdowns and rushing for 1,084 yards. Davante Adams<\/strong> is another to contend with, and defensively, Seattle will need to be overcome the skills of Blake Martinez, Preston Smith and Za\u2019Darius Smith<\/strong>, who collective accumulated 182 combined tackles and sacks<\/em>.<\/p>\nAs for the Packers, their biggest obstacle will be Russell Wilson<\/strong>, who with 31 touchdown passes and 4,110 passing yards<\/em>, has a season that places him in contention for the MVP award. After suffering the loss of three running backs, the talents of rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett<\/strong> helped put the Seahawks in contention. Still, if things go as expected, Seattle will put up a fight that ultimately will end with Green Bay proving analysts right with a win.<\/p>\nPrediction:<\/strong> Green Bay Packers to win
