    We will win this one, since apparently the loss last week eliminated us from the playoffs...

    Texans 5
    Ravens 3

    Ravens win this one easily , Ravens will pound the ball down Texans throat . No AJ , No Mario Williams will hurt the Texans in the game. Ravens D is just plainly sick , they are almost unbeatable in that hostile environment with that D.

    Receivers get no separation... Schaub doesnt trust arm strength when there's single coverage... 8 in the box to stuff Foster.... Kubiak still cllin plays as if Andre was there.... O-line is beat up.... Defense playin over expectations...

    All equates to a thorough azz whippin....

    Ravens -38
    Texans -09

    they stopped a very good running team in Oakland.

    I was surprised how well they played the run, but it was still a good showing by the defense and perhaps it isn't/wasnt an anomaly. I do think that it's going to be a tough day and Leach will play with some extra fire (if that's possible).

    Them watching the Raiders' front whoop the texans has me worried that they are going to be smelling blood.

    oh screw it...texans in a shocker, and stinker. 17 - 13

    If the Texans are going to be a good team this year, they need to keep this one close. If they're going to be a great team, they need to win.

    I think they'll lose 24-17.

    A valiant first half effort, depth issues surface in the 2nd half, blowout ensues.

    Ravens: 27
    Texans: 17

    i think the ravens will not be able to run the ball. without mario they still may get pressure on flaco. if the texans can score 24 they can win.

    texans win

    24

    Haloti Ngata is having an MVP year thus far. If I were Matt Schaub, I would phone in ill for this contest.

    If I recall correctly, it was during the jets v Ravens that the commentators went off on how leach to the beach was teaching the Ravens the zone offense. So both teams are familiar with each other's offense. It will be a close game.
    My expert analysis is this > it will come down to who wins in the trenches, who makes the biggest plays and who scores more. =)

    Ravens 28 Schaub 24.
    Schaub is unable to make a tackle on the kick off return, allowing Reed to score a 100 yard td to seal the game for the Ravens.

    Only way we win is with several turnovers and maybe a D/ST touchdown.

    The only way we win is if the Texans do not commit any turnovers.

    The Ravens O is meh.

    If the Texans win, the score will be something like 17-14.

    Offense bounces back.

    Texans win, plenty of points to go around.

    Texans REALLY need to play SMASHMOUTH football.
    They need to RUN Arian left
    Run Arian Right
    and
    Run Arian up the middle.

    Tate. . .Ward. . and anyone else they can
    The O-line will have to just T-Off and smash it down the Raven's throats

    Defense needs to do the same
    Time to get PHYSICAL . . .no finesse here!

    TEs will be key . . . . taking Ray and the boys out the box
    Enough catches to keep them honest
    Walter will do some damage but out side of him
    I have little faith in the WRs

    Texans - 17
    Ravens - 10
