This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Ravens.

I had a play on Houston last week, but now the Texans and CJ Stroud are going to have to deal with another super tough defense, but this time on the road.

The Texans have already exceeded expectations to this point and I think they're going to classically stumble here, now satisfied.

But for LaMar Jackson and the Ravens, this year has an almost "now or never" type of feel to it. Teams that have a bye in the first week have a tremendous advantage, and that's going to be the case here for Baltimore in my estimation.

The Houston defense looked poor in the win over the Browns. Overall it allowed Cleveland to go 7 of 15 on third down.

The Ravens only concede 16.5 PPG, and I think Houston will now struggle to even reach that amount here on the road.

Jackson has thrown three or more TD's in each of his last two games as home favorites and all signs point to another blowout.

Lay the points, the play is BALTIMORE.

Good luck, NP
