In the AFC Divisional round of the 2023 NFL Playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens will meet the Houston Texans. The Ravens are solid favorites, expected to win by at least a touchdown (currently -9). The game has a total of 44.5 points.
The Ravens enjoyed their first-round bye last week after a sensational season that saw them win six of their last seven games.
Meanwhile, the Texans have surprised the naysayers all season and continued to raise eyebrows in the Wild Card round where they demolished the Cleveland Browns 45-14.

Ravens vs. Texans Prediction & Pick
Pick ATS: Baltimore (-9) Pick OU: Under (44.5) Prediction: Baltimore 29 – Houston 15
Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Will Hill
I’ve seen this movie before. Everyone falls in love with the team that wins Wild Card weekend, forgetting the team that didn’t play was off for a reason. That reason being they earned a bye because they’re really good.
This line feels a bit inflated. At 9.5, books are trying to discourage teaser money on the Ravens. The way to play this is Texans to score under 17.5 points — an indoor team going outdoors to play in 20 degree temperatures against a hungry, rested defense.
The Ravens should run the ball and control the clock as well.
It’s been a great season for the Texans, but it ends Saturday evening.
PICK: Texans TT Under 17.5
Can CJ Stroud lead the Houston Texans to a DEEP playoff run?
