Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens Betting Preview
CJ Stroud’s Debut: Former Buckeye Takes Center Stage for Houston.
The former Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud will get the start under center for Houston on Sunday. Stroud will have quite the task against a very solid and experienced Baltimore defense. Stroud was the second overall pick in the 2023 draft and will get the nod ahead of Davis Mills and Case Keenum.
Houston will look to Robert Woods, Noah Brown, and Nico Collins to help Stroud out in the receiving core. Tank Dell is a rookie out of Houston who may get a chance for the Texans as well. The running game will be anchored by Dameon Pierce, with Devin Singletary getting an opportunity at times as well.
Looking at the NFL team stats, Pierce was fairly solid in his rookie campaign a season ago. The running back finished just 61 yards shy of 1,000 on the season.
The Ravens’ Offensive Arsenal: A Balance of Air and Ground Threats.
For the Baltimore Ravens, the biggest news coming into the training camp was getting Lamar Jackson signed for a long-term deal and keeping him healthy. Jackson is garnering NFL MVP odds to start the season, and now it is time to put the money to work. The Ravens have this game and a tough test against Cincinnati in NFL Week 2.
Zay Flowers should help the receiving core for the Ravens. He will join Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman as the trio of receivers for Jackson. Tight end Mark Andrews is still the security blanket for Jackson.
Looking at the NFL player stats, Andrew was the top receiver a season ago, 153 yards shy of 1,000 in 2022. Beckham joins Baltimore after spending most of 2022 on the NFL Injury report, the injury from the Super Bowl the previous season.
J.K. Dobbins will lead up the running game. Gus Edwards will likely get some carries as well. Dobbins played in just eight games a season ago and still finished with 520 yards on the ground. Jackson was the top runner with 764 yards on 112 carries. The Baltimore Ravens score for games could be high this year with some of their offensive weapons.
Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens Betting Picks
Look for the talented Baltimore Ravens defense to swallow up the rookie quarterback in this game. Stroud may have an excellent career in this league, but this game will be tough for him to get it started on.
Look for Baltimore to get a few turnovers and score early in this game. The Ravens are going to want to set the tone for their season right away. This game is a blowout material.
The betting pick after reviewing the NFL odds for this game on Sunday is the Baltimore Ravens -10 over the Houston Texans. The final score prediction for this game is the Ravens 31-14 over the Texans. We hope you enjoyed our look at the Texans vs Ravens odds!
