Houston Texans Betting Preview
The Houston Texans are 9-6 this season after they lost to Kansas City by a score of 27-19 in their last game. Houston cut the deficit to just 24-19 early in the fourth quarter, but they couldn’t score any more points in the loss.

Baltimore Ravens vs Houston Texans Prediction
Baltimore comes into this matchup after winning three of their last four games and they have scored 34 and 35 points in their last two games. The Ravens have an elite offense, but their defense has had issues throughout the season. Houston has won two of their last three games, but they are coming off of a loss against KC. The Texans played decently well in that game, but once Dell left with an injury, the offense didn’t do much. Houston’s offensive line has been an issue all season, but I do think Stroud will have a big day throwing the ball against this Baltimore defense. Take the over here.
