    Why on earth is Baltimore favored by 7.5?
    I'm a Ravens fan, and I just don't get it! T.J. Yates is not a good quarterback. This is true. But Flacco's regular season QBR is around 81. That's terrible. The Texans secondary and offensive line is pretty good. I don't see the ravens scoring more that 17 points. On the flip side, the Texans are becoming healthy in every position but their quarterback. I see this as a low scoring game and I think the spread should be 3.5 to 4.5 points

    Ravens have EVERYTHING. Boldin is a great underneath type WR, Smith is a solid deep threat and the TE's Pitta and ??? are starting to become parts of the offense. Ray Rice is the most versatile RB in the league IMO. Not a huge Joe Flacco fan though. The defense is obviously very good...

      sagarin Ratings: Baltimore 26.0 plus 3 for home field equals 29.0
      Houston minus 25.9 = 3.1 points

      I would say the line is way off.

        They were -9 with Schaub and covered.

        If you say the line should be 3.5, that's like saying these teams are even.

        Yates in for a rough day.

          I'm on HOU +7.5, and I believe the line comes down to 7 or 6.5 by gametime.

            Houston is a dome team

            Ravens went 8-0 in the regular season on their turf. I sure as hell not betting against these Ravens. -7.5 is a good enough number for me.
