TAILGATE:

Merry Christmas, everyone! The Baltimore Ravens are traveling to Houston to face the Texans on Christmas Day at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Ravens would move into first in the AFC North with a Steelers loss and a win against the Texans. Hello, happy holidays. I am Rodd Zawacky and I will be looking at some Trends and Props and giving you my Prediction.

DO THE RAVENS WIN?

Baltimore is 5-3 on the road this season straight-up and against the spread, they have put up an average of 29.4 PPG on the road and over 400+ yards of offense and that equates to over 7 yards per attempt on offense. Well, defensively the Ravens are allowing an average of 25.6 PPG and 364 yards of offense and that equates to 5.8 YPP. Lamar has plenty of weapons around him in this matchup on Wednesday for Baltimore to get the Win here in this one. Let us look at some trends and Props for Ravens players and get you a Prediction.

BALTIMORE RAVENS TRENDS:

Baltimore when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%) 11-2ATS

The Ravens have scored the first TD versus AFC South in five straight games.
John Harbaugh the coach of the Ravens’ when betting 1st half line after gaining 6.5 or more yards/play in their previous game. Harbaugh’s record is 40-17 ATS.

BALTIMORE PLAYER PROPS:

I love Henry to score early in this game as he has seven TDs on the road this season. So Love Derick Henry to score TD in 1st half
Lamar Jackson over 1.5 passing TDs
Lamar’s Longest completion OVER 36.5

DO THE TEXANS WIN?

This would be a tough task, but next man up as the loss of Tank Dell last week will be tough to replace on such a short week. C.J. is going to have to use his legs and run for some of these first downs and keep drives alive and ball security will be key for this game if Houston wants a chance to stay in this game. The Texans at home this season averaged 317 yards of offense and scored 22.7 PPG. Well, their defense has been solid holding teams under 300 yards a game (290.7 YPG). Texan’s defense helps out their offense with a turnover or two, the Texans have a shot here at home to come to this spread and even win outright as a home dog.

Houston Texans Trends:

DeMeco Ryans games where you bet the money line in a home game where the total is between 42.5 and 49 points.
Ryans’s record as coach of HOUSTON: 10-2
Houston ATS on the 1st half line vs. very good offensive teams – scoring 27 or more points/game. The Texans are 7-0 ats
Houston has also covered the spread as the underdog following a loss in eight straight games.

Houston Player Props:

Joe Mixon OVER his Receiving Yards of 18.5 as he has done this in three out last five games.
C.J. Stroud over his rushing yards of 13.5 as he did this in three out last five games.
Joe Mixon’s first TD he has done this in two out last five games.

RODD’S FINAL PREDICTION:

This going to be a great game if you like offense as the Ravens are scoring an average of 29+ PPG on the road this season and in this matchup I got the Ravens needing this big win to keep pace for the division or even take over the division lead if Chiefs beat the Steelers. So Baltimore will be motivated and they are the Healthier team offensively here on Wednesday the Texans will be chasing the Ravens all day in this matchup and never catchup as I like the over here as we will see some points as C.J. will lead to some scoring verse a Ravens secondary that has given up points all season. But it still will not be enough to get the cover as the Ravens are just the better team in this game and 5-2 ats as a road favorite.
