i agree that i get the feeling that we could pull an upset (i woudl give us a 35-40% chance), though i still don't think i would pick the texans to win if you put a gun to my head.
the ravens do have a good run game and playoff experience, but flacco is inconsistent at best. he could just as easily lay an egg this weekend as he could go for 250 yards.
this really should be a good game, both teams have great defenses and great running games, and neither team has a top notch qb. in the first game we had schaub, but no andre. this time we have andre, but no schaub. if forced to chose i would say having andre is more important to a victory against the ravens than schaub. even with yates, they won't be able to load the box like they did with andre, and by forcing them to have another safety up top, it will not only help the running game, but also the screens and the underneath crossing paterns.
i say the winner will win by 6 points or less this week.
