The Ravens certainly hope so.

In case you’ve been living under a rock lately, the 2009 NFL playoffs are underway with the final eight teams from the two conferences in the NFL finally complete. Arizona, San Diego, Philly and Baltimore all won their respective wild card playoff games to advance to the divisional round and face Carolina, Pittsburgh, the Giants and Tennessee respectively and as far as Tennessee is concerned, their AFC rivals this weekend are hoping it’ll be 2001 all over again.

The Baltimore Ravens will be facing the no.1 seed Tennessee Titans in the AFC divisional playoffs in a contest the Ravens are hoping to be eerily similar to their 2001 affair. You see, the last time the Ravens won the Super Bowl, it was back in 2001 when they got a ticket to the postseason through a wild card entry.

Who faced Baltimore in the divisional round? Yes, it was the Tennessee Titans, also seeded at no.1 then, hosting the Ravens in what was then known as the Adelphia Coliseum.

The Baltimore Ravens won that divisional playoff game, 24-10, coming up with an upset win over the top seeded Titans on their way to win the Super Bowl in… GET THIS… Tampa, Florida. And since this year’s Super Bowl will be in Tampa again, we are looking at the possible sequel of Baltimore’s Super Bowl title run.

Creepy huh?

Is this a precursor to the Ravens celebrating the Super Bowl XLIII win in Tampa, Florida? Is all this deja vu? You can bet your ass the Ravens think so. Hell, they could be praying for just that exactly.

‘’I think so,'’ Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan said. ‘’We’ll see. That’s the beauty of next week. We get to play the game. And we’re looking forward to it.'’

The Tennessee Titans managed to come up with the league-best record of 13-3 to earn them the top seed in the AFC. As of this writing, they are established as three-point favorites by oddsmakers but since history literally favors the Ravens on Saturday, expect those lines to change, dramatically.
