The Jan 15 – Houston Texans vs Ravens game has the possibility to be a spectacular and interesting game from start to finish, or a serious letdown. The reason why: both teams have looked spectacular at times this season and absolutely horrid at others.

The Houston Texans have a justification for their sometimes unsatisfying play, as the squad has been weighed down by accidents all season. 1st, their all-pro wide receive Andre Johnson was lost with a hamstring injury. As if this blow to their offense wasn’t significant enough, after that , they lost their starting qb, Matt Schaub. Then they proceeded to lose their 2nd string qb, Matt Leingart, to injury. That put rookie T.J. Yates into the starting role. Despite the fact that Yates has performed admirably to date, it’s yet to be seen how he can fare vs the vicious Ravens’ defense. The Houston Texans battle through these accidents to a 10-6 record, but stumbled into the playoffs as they lost their last three contests of the season.

NFL odds

Despite the fact that the Ravens have looked extraordinary generally speaking this season, they’ve come up short at mysterious times. After defeating Houston 29-14 earlier in the season, they lost their next game to pathetic Jacksonville as they performed some of the worst offensive football exhibited by any squad this season. Then, after defeating Pittsburgh 23-20, they lost their subsequent game to Seattle. So, whereas it would seem Baltimore has the more healthy, more total squad, that’s presuming the Baltimore who won those major contests this year turns up.

Sportsbooks are banking on that. Baltimore is a 7.5 fave at home. Whereas the Houston Texans have a gritty defense themselves, the question is still whether or not Houston’s rookie qb can play well under the pressure of a divisional playoff game in a aggressive environment. As the Ravens are more skilled and playing at home, they have the upper hand.
