My analysis
Lamar Jackson started off the season a bit slow, with just one touchdown pass in each of his first three games. Since then, however, he’s racked up 34 passing TDs in his last 12 games, including eight over his last two contests.

Jackson has been fairly consistent over those last 12 games, with multiple passing TDs in 10 of them. It was only in Week 6 against Washington and Week 11 in Pittsburgh when he had one TD. That shouldn’t be the case against this Texans defense.

Houston has had two strong games in a row, with Patrick Mahomes and Tua Tagovailoa held to one passing touchdown each.

However, before that, they allowed multiple touchdowns in six of eight contests, including three to Drake Maye, Jordan Love, and Aaron Rodgers.

Jackson has been using his arm more this season, and he should keep his streak of four straight games with 2+ pass TDs going on Christmas Day in Houston.

Jackson's TD:INT ratio is 37:4. Of course, one of those picks came last week against Pittsburgh, but he hasn’t thrown interceptions in back-to-back games this season. Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens should focus on taking care of the football as road favorites in Houston.

The Texans are stumbling as of late with two losses in their last four games and four in their last seven contests. The Ravens should be ready to take advantage of that, given their 3-1 record in the last four games, with the only loss coming to the Eagles.
