TONIGHT

Baltimore (5-3) at Tennessee (3-4)

6 p.m., Channel 7

The line: Baltimore by 2.

Key injuries: BAL--WR Pat Johnson (clavicle), DT Sam Adams (knee), RB Terry Allen (ankle), QB Elvis Grbac (chest). TEN--WR Justin McCareins (ankle), WR Chris Sanders (back), SS Blaine Bishop (foot/hand), WR Kevin Dyson (toe), G Bruce Matthews (ankle), DT Joe Salave’a (shoulder).

Key to the game: The first time these teams met this season, the Ravens cruised to victory, 26-7, and shut down running back Eddie George. The Titans, who have won three of four, are looking for redemption. Steve McNair passed for 241 yards against Jacksonville last Sunday. He will discover that doing so against a Baltimore defense will be far tougher. The Ravens have not allowed a 100-yard rusher in 45 consecutive games. Shannon Sharpe needs three catches to become the NFL’s all-time leader in receptions for tight ends.

The pick: Baltimore. Tennessee has won three of four and typically plays well at home, but Baltimore’s defense will dictate the outcome as it did in the teams’ first meeting.
