It’s going to be the ugliest game you can possible imagine.
It won’t last longer than three hours and will exist primarily on the ground.
It’ll be boring, full of running plays and seemingly dull.
Nobody said the road to Indianapolis was pretty. This Sunday’s game against the Texans will be a dream matchup for those who find exploding scoreboards collegiate. It’ll be low scoring, an absolute ware between two premier running backs who will want to show up at the most important time of the year.
The Houston Texans enter the divisional round of the playoffs with something the Ravens don’t have this season – a playoff win. Houston also has better regular season numbers in total offense, total defense and points per game. That means little in January, but it does mean that Ravens fans booking trips to the AFC title game should make sure they are refundable in advance.
There’s no automatic cakewalk in the NFL playoffs. Our friends in western Pennsylvania knows this all too well.
Baltimore has never lost to Houston. They are undefeated at home this season. The majority of the numbers favor the Ravens, as does Las Vegas.
It’s going to be a war on Sunday against the Texans. Just not through the air.
