PASS.

There is better value on the Texans’ spread.

BET TEXANS -1.5 (-110).

Despite the Texans dropping their last 6 matchups against the Ravens, they have a major advantage in this game due to injuries. Not only is Jackson, a former MVP, out, but the Ravens’ defense has a lot of holes without many of their usual leaders. The Ravens’ defense has struggled this season, allowing 37 or more points in 3 of their 4 games, making the Texans the expected favorite.

BET OVER 40.5 (-110).

The Over hitting will be largely due to the Ravens’ defense, which has allowed 37 and 38 points in back-to-back weeks. The Ravens offense will not be the high-powered machine we have seen with Jackson in command, but they have hit the Over in each of their 4 games this season while scoring at least 30 points in 3 of their 4 games. Even a few scores from an offense that still features RB Derrick Henry will help the total.

The Texans have scored 19 or more points in 2 of their last 3 games and have allowed at least 14 points in 3 of their 4 games.
