BALTIMORE, MD — The Ravens will host a NFL Divisional Round playoff game on Saturday, Jan. 11. Baltimore locked up a first round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs in Week 16 with a win over the Cleveland Browns, and the team was still able to trounce the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 with many of our starters resting.

Now the Ravens will prepare to play either the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, or Tennessee Titans for a trip to the AFC Championship Game. This game will start at 8:15 p.m. on Jan. 11 and be televised on CBS.

Baltimore is scorching hot coming into the playoffs, winners of 12 games in a row and the best overall record in the league at 14-2. The best team in the league also has the best player in football, as quarterback Lamar Jackson is the favorite to take home the MVP award after a year in which he broke the single season rushing record for the position and threw for over 3,000 yards.

The Texans or Bills are the Ravens most likely playoff opponent, with the Titans having to pull an upset over the New England Patriots in Foxborough to earn a matchup against Baltimore.

Houston, which finished the regular season 10-6, is led by talented quarterback Deshaun Watson and coached by Bill O'Brien. The Texans are in the playoffs for a second year in a row but weren't able to escape the Wild Card round in 2018.

Buffalo is somewhat of a surprise playoff team. Second year quarterback Josh Allen has found success in his unconventional style of play and the Bill's defense has been fantastic all season.

The Ravens dismantled the Texans 41-7 this season, and also beat the Bills in Buffalo 24-17.

No matter which of these three possible teams makes it through to the Divisional Round against Baltimore, the Ravens will be heavy favorites in the sure to be rocking M&T Bank Stadium.

The Ravens are Super Bowl or bust this year, and it's hard to think our team will disappoint.
