Ravens vs Texans Week 17 Picks
Under 47.5 Points
John Harbaugh's Ravens racked up 220 rushing yards to steamroll the Steelers on Saturday. Derrick Henry has been impossible to tackle as he ran 24 times for 162 yards. King Henry is up to 1636 rushing yards and 15 total touchdowns in his first year in Baltimore. The former Titans star is the Ravens greatest threat against Houston's menacing defensive front.
The betting trends point towards this game going over with nine of Baltimore's last 11 games hitting over the total. On top of that the total has gone over in eight of Baltimore's last nine games on the road. However, each of these teams rank in the top five in EPA per play over the last four weeks. DeMeco Ryans' Texans defense ranks third in the NFL in opponent yards per play (5.0) and 10th in points per play (0.352). Additionally, the total has gone under in five of Houston's last seven games against Baltimore. I love making the contrarian bet on the UNDER.
Keep in mind, both this Christmas Day Ravens vs Texans showdown will be the third game in 10 days for each of these squads. Texans receiver Tank Dell went down with a devastating injury against the Chiefs on Saturday and will be missed in Houston's offense. I'm betting the wear and tear of three NFL games in just 10 days slows the pace and makes this a defensive battle.
