Anyone else see a nice dog play in Baltimore +6 and ML.  I know they lost Suggs and Now Ray Ray but WTF,  The Texans D looked bad on MNF, and Ray Rice should be able to run on them pretty easily.  Flacco can pick this defense apart as him and Boldin are finally in Sync consistency week to week.  IDK bout you guys but Texans are on fade train mode right now, and Balty looks to take advantage of this guy in the Texans armour

Thoughts??

Risky betting against firm favourites at home before their bye week

Most will like Houston because of how Baltimore has given up lots of yardage on the ground. 

Not so sure I like Balt mL, but I do like Balt ats.

dont know if they lose 2 in a row at home. the plus 6 is def good value tho. just think ray ray's leadership is so huge to that defense. might stay away from this one and just watch. gl tho

Baltimore is well coached,  I know Lewis is a huge loss,  But this team usually seems to rally behind eachother, and take care of business, where as the Texans got smoked on MNF,  Its hard to say what the Texans resolve will be as they have yet to be in this situation yet all year, and after their first loss.

I think its hard to say that the Texas off one loss are a "fade train"

Baltimore has struggled to stop the run this year, something that is new to them. Ray Lewis is done, Webb is out...Houston lost on MNF, but they are healthy

I feel a lot differently on this game. I am leaning heavily on Texans ML

2nd ATS loss in a row after winning first 4 ATS. I love Ravens plus 6 and worth a stab on ml.

houston gets blown out,  now they face a raven team with lewis and webb out?  ravens are horrible at stopping the run this year.  those 2 players out is a huge blow especially with the qb of the D lewis out.  i see houston bouncing back in a huge way at home for the second straight week.  ravens will get a heavy dose of foster and tate then boom they will get hit in the air

So, a team that just lost their starting CB and Ray Lewis; a team that stinks on the road; a team who gets destroyed by the run, playing the top RB in the league...

This is a team you have faith in?

Top RB in the league?? lol

last 40 carries he has 80 yards.

3.8 ypc for the season.

He's one of the worst backs in the league. Take off your blinders.

He has one bad game, and you're ready to quit on him

Classic overreaction by a rookie bettor

This is exactly what I was thinking. I know sh*t happens but I don't get the logic here. 
I agree Houston looked bad on D Sunday night but let's remember they were playing a GB team that was firing on all cylinders, Balt on their best day is nowhere near GB. On the other side of the ball saw Green Bay slow/stop Houston by stopping the run. Something Balt hasn't done with Lewis and now they're without him? Unless Lewis's backup is some run stopping superstar think this game has the making of a 31-10 Houston win.

Niner,

While I agree he is not the top RB in the league he is not one of the worst RB's in the league.  That is just idiotic.  He struggled big time against Green Bay no doubt, but still a top 5 running back and part of the reason his yards per carry are so low is because he has gotten a lot of carries when Houston is trying to run out the clock.  Those typically don't net you more than 1 to 2 yards because everyone knows you are doing it.

Balitmore will adjust even without lewis. His presence will be felt from the sidelines. Last year, he was out for 4-5 games and they went undefeated during that span. I will take +6 any day with the Ravens because this will be an close game until the end.

The big question is how will the Baltimore D respond without Lewis now? As far as Houston goes they went into that game overconfident and ran into a pissed off Rodgers. I would say Houston is more of a ball control offense and not high scoring laying 6 might prove to be to many Flacco still seems like a split personality but he can put points on the board at times I would take the points would love to see this climb to seven though.

Revenge game for Texans after Ravens knocked them out of the playoffs last season.   TJ Yates threw 0 TDs and 3 INTs, and Ravens still only won by a TD in Baltimore

Now Ravens have lost key players, and traveling to face a Texans team that was embarrassed by the Pack on SNF

I like the Texans in this spot

Also like a Texans and Niners teaser

I see it at +7.5 juiced -130

Seems too good to be true, but I still will stay away from Baltimore. Lost Webb, who is probably a top 5 cornerback in the league.

Haloti Ngata, your best lineman has a slight mcl sprain....

If it somehow gets to be Houston -5 again, I'd jump at that. I saw -4.5 yesterday and wanted 4, but it jumped quickly.

Whoa, David Carr was the Texans QB for the first 5 weeks of the year?

It was panning out to be a great spot for the Texans before the line started jumping and the injuries started piling up for the Ravens. I heard a few people say today that the Ravens won't even make the playoffs with Ray Lewis gone. Mindflash, Ray Lewis was a liability this whole year, he will be missed as a leader and a shotcaller but not the first game. Other players will rise up in his absense. Should be a close game now
