Public perception: The public is losing faith in the Texans after they failed to cover against the Jets and then lost outright to the Packers. That appears to outweigh the fact that the Ravens have failed to cover three straight (against the Browns, Chiefs and Cowboys), though they keep winning.
Wiseguys' view: You'll find a difference of opinion here from the sharps; those on the Texans (or feeling the Ravens are racking up too many injuries) are happy to lay less than a touchdown, while those thinking the Ravens are still one of the Super Bowl contenders think they're getting plenty of points.
Tuley's take: Put me in the latter camp. The Ravens are 5-1 and know how to win. They won't have Ray Lewis and Lardarius Webb, but they haven't been winning with defense as much as in the past anyway. I've been fading the Texans with success the past two weeks, as I felt they were content to grind out wins (which certainly was the case against the Jets, though they never got the chance against the Packers). The pick: Ravens.
