How good are the Texans?I saw an undiscipline team Sunday that totally lost it last Sunday vs the pack.What truely elite team have they beaten...nobody!!Webb is a much bigger loss than Lewis,but they get a about a 75% Suggs back to help with the run D,and I think that the Ravens will be totally focus on the job at hand plus the fact they know how tough the road has been.I expect the Ravens will go hurry up Offense from the start.I think Texas will win,but not cover vs a Ravens team trying to prove a point that they simply re-load and play the game.Remember the Ravens can run a spread off. as well,but then you pick your poison with Flacco at Qb.If he wants to prove(like he's always talking about)that he's one of the elite QB'S in this league......the time is now,pal!!!

Of course they're opinions we all should understand that! That's why I don't follow them for a fact! Furthermore, for you to bring up power rankings and experts about what's so called was the #1 team in the NFL just tells me for a fact that you as well as these opinionated people don't have the common sense to come up with your own decisions and you all solely base them off of someone else's insight who you call an expert! Gee, now wouldn't that be a huge fact with all the bandwagons who's been putting money on them and losing the last couple of weeks!!!!
Now onto your next fact! You sound just like everyone else who loss money on the last couple of games playing the Texans! Making up all kinds of excuses that this is what happened and what was due! Seriously, like I said before in another post that also is another fact and I quote "a wins a win and a loss is a loss" no matter what happened or who didn't play!!!
And for the last fact of the day! I agree both teams have sucked at covering! However, you do know that this game decides which one of these teams stays atop the AFC! And for a fact the Ravens will show up and cover the spread! So Chief if you were as smart as you sound, for a fact bet the underdog cause I don't follow trends that are on favors that can't cover!!!!!
Chief Rocker - I think that you might want to check your Facts.
I do agree that Baltimore has sucked at covering (2-5 ATS for the season) but Houston not so much (5-2 ATS for the season).

Prior to the Giants playing the 49ers last week, I seem to remember everyone talking about the "revenge factor" for the 49ers getting knocked out of the playoffs last year by the Gmen. Well, I don't seem to hear anyone talking about the revenge factor for this game. With TJ Yates at quarterback, the Texans lost a very close playoff game last year at Baltimore. I personally think revenge is an overrated attribute when trying to predict the results of a game. But I would like to talk about the last time these teams played in that playoff match.
In that game, Ladarious Webb had a monster game, coming up with 2 key interceptions. Ed Reed also had a pick to make it a total of 3 interceptions thrown by Yates. The Texans still only lost that game by a touchdown, and I would like to explain why.
Arian Foster had a field day on this defense (27 carries and 132 yards) . Andre Johnson also had a great day coming up with 111 yards on 8 catches. The Texans did this at Baltimore with a healthy Ravens defense in a playoff scenario. Joe Flacco and Ray Rice on the other hand were for the most part shut down. Flacco went 14/27 and threw for a 176 yards. Rice was kept to 60 yards rushing on 21 carries.
The Ravens won that game because they were at full strength and were able to confuse a young and inexperienced backup quarterback. The shoe will be on the other foot this time around, and the Ravens will get bullied on Sunday. Deep down the Ravens are wishing their bye was this week and not next week. They could definitely use the extra week to prepare their new starting Mike (they will have to go with one of their former undrafted rookie free agents: Ellerby, McClaine, or McClellan). We all know Webb is out as well, who is obviously one of the elite corners in the NFL.
And for those of you who don't know, Ed Reed announced on a Baltimore radio show this Wednesday that he is playing with a torn labrum. This sounds like a team that can't wait to get into the bye week, and should probably consider themselves lucky they are 5-1. They have had some really close calls against the Browns (23-16), Chiefs (9-6), and most recently Dallas (31-29). They will not have such luck on the road against a Texans team that would like to avenge their playoff loss last year, and make up for their weak effort against Green Bay last week. Not to mention, the Texans will also be heading into their bye, and they will not want to lose two consecutive games at home.
All the angles are pointing towards a comfortable win by the Texans. I have heard rumors that Terrell Suggs might play, and while that might boost morale, it wont be enough to make a difference. He played in that playoff game last year and Arian Foster still shredded them.
I imagine the books will see equal action on both sides so I wouldn't worry about the line movement.
The Texans will get their first franchise win against Baltimore on Sunday, and they will do it in style.
34-17 is my final.
good luckHope you guys made some money on this play. Sorry I let you down on Tampa.

Damn, didn't think the Ravens were that bad. Teasing the Ravens on a 13pt teaser still didn't cover. So sad when this happens to an "NFL" team. You can expect things like this in college almost weekly but these guys are pros. Oh well, going against them the rest of the year. They're horrible for covering.
