Game Preview

The Texans wiped out the Titans in the previous event, 26-0, showing no mercy for the No.1 pick in this draft, QB Cam Ward. They allowed him only 108 passing yards and had 7 hits on Ward.

Meanwhile, Houston’s QB CJ Stroud had 233 passing yards for 2 touchdowns, and he ran for 11 more. Just to mention that the Texans allow the fewest number of points in the NFL, 12.8 per game.

So far, the Ravens have faced the Bills, Browns, Lions, and Chiefs. This is the hardest possible schedule this season. Additionally, Lamar Jackson injured his hamstring last weekend, which is currently the team’s biggest problem.

Ravens’ defense is currently the worst in the NFL, allowing more than 33.2 points per game. Now that’s a lot, and we understand that Baltimore had tough rivals, but the numbers still reveal plenty of flaws in their defensive scheme.

Texans vs. Ravens Head to Head

Baltimore Ravens have won 13 of 15 games against the Texans. The most recent was last year, when they smashed their rivals in Houston, 31-2.

Texans vs. Ravens Predictions

We will include Lamar in this event, as we expect him to play here. The Ravens have a high-octane attack, which will show its worth against the Texans, just like it did against the Browns.
