Houston at Baltimore

Houston got its first win of the season, 26-0 over the woeful Titans, but the Texans still are averaging just 16.0 points per game, and it was only 6-0 heading into the fourth quarter on Sunday. The Texans have lost their past six meetings with Baltimore, including a 31-2 loss last season. In those six losses, Houston has scored an average of 10.0 points. The Texans have lost 11 of their last 14 games against NFC North opponents, and they have lost eight road contests in franchise history against the Ravens. The Ravens are already in a must-win scenario, as they can't afford to fall to 1-4. They have won six of their past seven October games. They are slight underdogs, primarily due to Lamar Jackson's hamstring injury and his questionable status for this game. If he can't go, Cooper Rush will step in under center. Rush has extensive NFL experience, having played seven seasons with Dallas. He appeared in 12 games in 2024, throwing for 1,844 yards and 12 TDs. Take the Ravens on the moneyline.
