I agree that Ray Lewis isn't a huge loss.

But you know who is? Ladarius Webb. And Haloti is injured too, playing at half-strength.

Scaaaaaaary

Sharps wait until +7.  should be there before gametime or more after ESPN makes everyone think that the ravens are hopeless without Lewis.

It's already at 7 -115 on 5dimes. The sharps aren't going to wait at all. They know Ray isn't a huge loss, but Webb and Haloti are.

How do you think it went from 4.5 to 7?

This is actually my game of the week in favor of the Texans.  I think the Texans are the best all around team in football.  Last week was just a bad spot for them and I actually liked the pack.  Houston was 5-0 way ahead in their division.  That game meant nothing to them if they lost being that it was out of conference and they were looking ahead to the Ravens.  On the other hand, it was a must win for the pack and Rodgers was putting the team on his back.  This week, they play a way overrated Ravens team that has a terrible D and just lost their 2 best players.  Don't get suckered in by the +6.  Its a trap, Ravens will get blownout in this game.  Houston is at home and the much better team not to mention the revenge factor.  Flacco on the road against a solid D will have problems.  I see this being a 34-13 type game, not even close.

I got my eyes on the total. I see a high scoring game given the circumstances. Houston should be able to run all over Balty's injured D and Balty should be able throw all over Houston's suspect secondary. I see a 24-31 game. What do you guys think?

Steer clear of Baltimore, that square fuck prime time just made them his game of the year.

Cmon guys, don't forget Houston hasn't beaten a good team. They couldn't even beat a beat up Green Bay team at home in prime time. Houston's overated. Now on the discussion of Baltimore. I don't think Baltimore is necessarily better but I feel like they're a more developed and veteren type team that can easily cover the spread. Ray Lewis will probably be more motivational now that he's injured! With the points vegas is giving them, I think Baltimore is a great play here.

I'm sorry but this is a terrible take.

Schaub has been 9-1 in his last 10 games.  I don't care what teams he has played, he can't controll that he has just performed.  He doesn't have huge numbers because that is not the texans plan...get up, run the clock and good defense.  He has 4 ints this year 2 in last game, his worst of the year.  People may be down on GB, but we all know they are 4-2 and still a contender.  Schaub hasn't really gone out and won us a big game, but he has never been the reason we lost.

Foster has been a little suspect this season but so has bmores run d.  I see both teams having success runnig the ball, probably over 100 for foster and rice.  This game will be within 7 points, which is why I'm leaning towards ravens but texans winning 24-21

I cannot remember the raves as this big an underdog. We all know the problems they have on D. Actually they are horrible on D.  But they can score. Id lean to taking the points and the over.

Houston is a great play at -6

Dallas walked all over them offensively especially in the rushing game,Houston's strength. Do you see Baltimore beating Houston on the road?

That revenge angle didn't work out too well for the 49ers last week. Baltimore as a 6 point dog? I'l take that anytime. Lewis is gone but so is Cushing

He isn't the only one gone. So is Ladarious Webb and Halti Nagata has an MCL injury. I see this not going the way of Baltimore who im sure is a decent play for Joe Public. Houston for the cover -6.

But good luck on your bets and wish you a prosperous week.

Ray Lewis was old and he lost way too much weight to be able to fill gaps.  Maybe whoever fills in for him will do a better job. However, this Ravens defense is way too banged up this year and has taken a step back.  The better team right now is Houston.

Razor... You're a sharp guy.... 

Stay away on this one....

Or Pound HOUSTON....    

They're a great team... They were just do for loss... NO ONE goes undefeated in the regular season... People lose sometimes.  


I'm going Houston MONEYLINE    

If I decide to bet

Betting against a team who has lost 4 straight games ATS is always a risky proposition.

This kind of screams no bet for me. Not sure of two things: 1) how Balt will respond to losing two key players and 2) how Hou will respond to a beat down. We will find out a lot about Hou either way from this game but I feel like playing it (and particularly playing it on the larger side) might be an unnecessary risk. I do think Balt is a solid play for those who play teasers (I do not) as I don't see them getting crushed.
