Prediction Texans Vs Ravens This Sunday @ 1Pm

[funky141]

• Texans must keep running game going; take pressure off [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/1823918/tj-yates"][color=#3b5998]T.J. Yates[/color][/url].
• If Houston defense can stop [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/1243206/ray-rice"][color=#3b5998]Ray Rice[/color][/url], it forces [url="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/1250697/joe-flacco"][color=#3b5998]Joe Flacco[/color][/url] to win game.
• Baltimore defense tough vs. run; could squeeze Yates and force rookie mistakes.


My first thoughts are thinking a easy Ravens win. But this is the playoffs and easy wins do not happen unless sloppy play. The weather looks fine for Sunday, so it should not be a issue, so I see great game between two quality teams. Both running backs will get their yards but scoring will be via the air I think.
Both A. Boldin and E. Dickson will catch TD passes from Flacco.

For Houston, A. Johnson will collect 8-10 catches, 100 yd and 2 TD scores.

The X-factor in this is the Ravens defense. As I see the Texans driving late to take the lead but a Raven's defensive score to seal the deal to face New England next week.
Houston 17

Ravens 24

If the Ravens play focused, 27-14.

If the turnover differential is -2 or more, they lose 16-20.

[Fricknmaniac]

27-6 Ravens.

The Ravens are 4-0 under Harbaugh coming off of a bye (including this year against the Texans) and win by an average of 18 points.

Boldin will be playing better than he has all year. Yanda, Grubbs, Lewis, Reed, Williams, all have had two weeks to rest up from some nagging injuries. Cam has had two weeks to prepare a game plan for the Texans (they knew the odds were high they'd play the Texans).

[BmoreRav]

27-17 Ravens.

[BMORElegacy]

Undefeated following a bye, and in season openers, under Harbaugh. I'm confident we come out of the tunnel this Sunday pumped, prepared, and firing on all cylinders.

24-10 Ravens.

[RAYvenFan20]

27-17 Ravens!
No rookie qb has beaten Baltimore, in Baltimore since 11/23/97 in Memorial Stadium...
4-0 after bye weeks under Harbaugh
and finally Ravens are just flat out better

[cursona pirate]

Ravens 31
Texans 20

Flacco throws over 200+ 2 touchdowns
Rice gets 89 yardsish and 1 touchdown rushing another recieving

lol that would be a record... and totally funny to watch.. lol no touchdowns?

[RAYvenFan20]

most people would say the team with the most points will win, but since this is ravensnation im gonna say the team with the least amount of points will lose

[AsianRice]

I could careless about the score; as long as we come out playing like week 1, we're good to go......

[Ravenslifer]

Prediction: Joe finally hooks up with Lee Evans for some nice deep passes.

[JO_75]

Ravens 31
Texans 14

[3rdcoast]

Prediction: The winner of this game plays the winner of Patriots/Broncos.


Man I'm good.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

How is that the x-factor? lol Everyone knows thats their strength.


Ben Tate has a big game.
James Casey will have a impact as well.

Texans 24

Ravens 20

Texans 32
Ravens 13

Compare to week 6: Dre is back, that's about a 30 point swing in the Texans' favor. Yates = Schaub, plus the Texans' D is the only unit in football that's gotten better since week 6 (aside from their offense). Flacco will crumble under pressure this time because he's due after consistently winning at home, against playoff teams, against the Texans, and never crumbling under pressure. Foster will have a much better game this time because the last time he faced the Ravens, he called it his worst game ever. Meanwhile, the Texans will once again lead the turnover battle 2-0 (or better) because that happened in week 6, meaning it wasn't a fluke. Fluke-o, as he's been called, isn't good because you can spell his name differently like Flaco or Flake-o.
