Divisional Playoffs at its finest

I’m highly anticipating the Ravens vs. Titans clash this Saturday.  Both of these teams are known for their tight defense. 

The Raven’s linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed are two very physical guys who understand smart defense and will give Kerry Collins and the Titan’s Offense a difficult time to score.  Ed Reed tore Miami apart last weekend with 2 picks and a return TD.  Both of these playesr have been a huge contribution to Baltimore still leading the league in turnovers and interceptions, and 6 returns for touchdowns.  

I expect this game to be low-scoring and close.  I vote for Baltimore to take this game.

Nice!  The no huddle offense totally destroyed the Buckeyes this drive.  Keep ‘em coming!  Official score as of 7:49 PM PST: 17-6!  1:04 left in the 3rd.  Colt McCoy, please no more turnovers in the red zone!

Texas Longhorns vs. Ohio State Buckeyes

Up until 2 hours before kickoff, I was totally convinced that the Longhorns would run all over the Buckeyes. Then my friend (a Longhorns fan by the way) started putting doubts in my mind. I swear it’s bad karma. Now OSU is winning 6-3. Lame!

I read this earlier and thought it was some great analysis:

McCoy has completed 77.6 percent of his passes for 3,445 yards and 32 touchdowns, and he has thrown seven interceptions. McCoy, a junior who plans to return for his senior year, has also rushed for 576 yards and 10 more scores.

The Buckeyes allow 13 points per game, seventh in the nation. But last year they brought the nation’s top-rated defense - conceding 10.7 points per game - into the BCS title game and watched LSU romp to a 38-24 victory. Read more here.

Ok, the game is still early. Plenty of time for Texas to come back and kick some ass still!
