What a way for The Texans to let everyone know they are here & not to be taken lightly! Texans were able to go into the Wild Card Round and beat on the Browns with no problem and now they are going to try and go on the road and do the same thing to this very tough Ravines team. CJ Stroud is having a great rookie season and against the Browns he completed 16 of his 21 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns. Nico Collins also had another huge game catching six passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. The Texans on the season is averaging 22.2 points while the defense is giving up 20.6 points per game. Can this team flex that Texas muscle and shock the world here!?

If you don't know about the Ravens then let me fill you in real quick! The reason we should be worried about laying this big number with this Ravens team in this game is explained in the history books! The story for the Ravens has been their inability to find any kind of success in the playoffs with Lamar Jackson, but the hope is that this year it’s going to be different. Can we trust that? We seen In their last game that Lamar Jackson played against the Miami Dolphins and they were able to dominate that game start to finish with a ending score of 56-19! Lamar Jackson completed 18 of his 21 passes for 321 yards and five touchdowns. Gus Edwards finished with 16 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. The big question for me heading into this game is Mark Andrews. Andrews is dealing with an ankle injury and he’s questionable for this game. If he can go, that is going to be a big boost for this Ravens offense and really give them that extra power to maybe cover this huge number. This is still a divisional game and it's very important to the Texans who have shown they have some serious fight! Can the Ravens over come the past and write a new page in the history books!?

The Plugs Game Prediction
💎 HOUSTON TEXANS +10.5 -120
This is going to be a great game and I know the world is expecting the Ravens to dominate this game, but I think The Texans are going to keep this game close. Stroud is having a great rookie season and he should not be underestimated in this game! I admit, The Ravens have been playing some very solid ball and they looked really good against the Dolphins, but the Texans are not going to just roll over and let the Ravens run this game! Look for this Texans team to put up a fight here. The Texans defense is going to find a way to create pressure on Lamar and force some turnovers off of him, and that is going to be their main objective in this game! Houston is going to get to come with some heat and make this game very tough for the Ravens! Back the Texans to cover the spread here.
