Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens Preview & Picks

Houston are tipped to build on last weekend’s win over Tennessee.

The Texans have their issues, but Baltimore are set to be without Lamar Jackson and their struggling defense just lost an influential piece in Roquan Smith.

  • Baltimore Ravens are 4-9 without starting QB Lamar Jackson
  • Baltimore Ravens are 0-3-0 ATS in their 3 defeats this season
  • Houston Texans won their 1st game of the season last time out
  • The Under has cashed in all 4 of Houston’s games this season

Head To Head

  • Baltimore Ravens lead the all-time series 11-2
  • Baltimore Ravens won 31-2 when the two teams last met in December 2024

Houston Texans Form

Houston head to Baltimore looking to build on a first win of the season that improved their record to 1-3.

The Texans entered the 2025 season with playoff ambitions, but are already facing a fight after losing their first three games of the season.

They opened up on the road and a costly late fumble condemned them to a 14-9 defeat at the Los Angeles Rams.

Houston then dropped their home opener against Tampa Bay, 20-19, before heading back out on the road for a 17-10 loss in Jacksonville.

The Texans did finally get off the mark last weekend though, as they shut out division rivals Tennessee in a 26-0 victory.

Baltimore Ravens Form

Baltimore enter this matchup in an early-season crisis, having lost three of their first four games and star quarterback Lamar Jackson.

The Ravens came into the 2025 campaign as a leading contender to win the Super Bowl, only to make a losing start as they blew a late lead to fall 41-40 in Buffalo.

They rebounded a week later with a 41-17 blowout of division rivals Cleveland, but they have been unable to follow up that success.

Baltimore suffered a 38-30 defeat when they hosted Detroit on Monday Night Football in Week 3.

That became back-to-back defeats for the Ravens last weekend, as they were beaten 37-20 by the Chiefs in Kansas City.

Verdict

Baltimore are officially a team in crisis, with losses piling up and key figures hitting the injury report.

That makes this game great timing for a Houston team looking to go on a run, and we are backing them to leave with the ‘W’.
