The Texans finally notched their first win of the season in a dominant 26-0 performance over the Tennessee Titans.
The Texans boast the best scoring defense in the NFL (12.8 points per game). The Texans have only allowed 51 points through four games. The second-best scoring defenses in the NFL, the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, have allowed 67 points.
Houston’s C.J. Stroud had his best start of the season in the win, completing 22 of 28 passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. Week 4 marked the first time the Texans scored 20 points in a game this season.
Since 2002, the Texans have traveled to Baltimore eight times. They have never won (0-8).
The health of Lamar Jackson is the biggest storyline in this game. The Ravens would have been at least a touchdown favorite if Jackson were fully healthy.
Jackson has not practiced for two straight days due to a hamstring injury.
Earlier this week, The Baltimore Sun reported that Jackson could miss two to three weeks with this injury. Head coach John Harbaugh has remained mum on the issue.
If Jackson can’t play, Cooper Rush will make the start.
Baltimore’s defense is why the team has three losses. The Ravens are ranked 31st in yards allowed, 31st in passing yards surrendered, and 32nd in scoring defense.
If Jackson doesn’t play, Houston has a favorable matchup. The offense can move the ball against a weak Ravens’ defense, and the Texans’ defense gets to play a backup quarterback. The Texans should get their first win in Baltimore.
Pick: Texans -1 (-120)
Texans vs. Ravens Prop
After a successful passing output against the Texans, Stroud has the potential to have another big day against the Ravens.
Safety Kyle Hamilton was not spotted at practice on Thursday. Cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie also did not practice.
Stroud should be in line for a big day on Sunday.
