On the docket in this Sunday's AFC Championship is a very aggressive Baltimore Ravens defense, one that held Parker to 47 yards on 14 carries when the teams played back in Week 15. In five career outings against the Ravens, Parker has never amassed more than 63 yards and has averaged better than four yards per carry only once. "They' |

| Nashville, TN (MySportsbook) - Matt Stover's 43-yard field goal with 53 seconds to play lifted the Baltimore Ravens to a 13-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans in an AFC Divisional playoff battle.
