Baltimore had seven takeaways in its Week 1 romp over Pittsburgh and they are favored by one point for every turnover as they head to Tennessee in Week 2.
The Ravens opened as 7-point chalk against a Titans team that got two scores from Kenny Britt, but not much else in a loss to the Jaguars. But with a week of practice under Chris Johnson's belt, are the Titans a threat here?
The threat may be an UNDER bet, as 7 of the past 8 meetings between these teams went that way.
