Official Texans @ Ravens Game Thread, 9/22/2013

People get caught up a ton with what the point spread should be and the 3 points for the home team, but Vegas doesn't do anything on accident. If the "extra" points convince people to bet on the Ravens when it really should have been a pick em', than the only way Vega loses is a 1 or 2 point Ravens win. And since anything under a FG is really a pick em already, all those 2.5 points do is get people to put money on Baltimore.

I would predict Houston to win so I would also predict Houston to win by 2.5.

And I agree with Bob it is stupid to think the Texans are looking past this game.

Texans really have a bit of a rivalry with the Ravens at this point, they are the defending SB champs, and most important of all they and not the Seahawks or 49ers are in the AFC. All of these things point to the Texans viewing this as a bigger game for tfhe team than the following 2 weeks.
But with it looking more and more likely that Duane Brown doesn't play Sunday, I'm not feeling the least bit confidant about this game with Newt & Harris facing Dumervil & Suggs.
