Giana Han Texans 28, Ravens 20, “Despite all we’ve seen I believe that this Ravens team is capable of going up against any other team in the league, except for so many players are injured.” This team has some losses it can overcome, including the loss of Lamar Jackson depending on the opposition. But the number of injured players is too high. Chris Korman Ravens 22, Texans 18. “I expect a grimy, possibly weird game. But I think that the Ravens will not let their injury narrative be an excuse.” Paul Mancano Texans 27, Ravens 17. “This matchup is a battle between the NFL’s worst (Baltimore), and best (Houston), defenses in terms of points per game. The Texans offense may have regressed since 2025, but the Ravens’ defense hasn’t shown us any reason to believe they can stop anyone. Jonas Shaffer Texans 21, Ravens 16. “The Ravens’ quarterback and defensive leaders were unavailable. Grit and determination can only go so far.” The Texans defense is the strongest unit in this match, and their offensive will at least appear capable in Baltimore. Childs Walker Texans 23, Ravens 20, “The Ravens will have to make a desperate attempt to avoid a 1-4 starting, but the Texans, who are also in the same boat as the Ravens, will actually dress up their most significant players.” Brandon Weigel Ravens 24, Texans 20, “This is why in the off-season you get a backup who has a proven track record like Cooper Rush. He had compiled a 9-5 with the Dallas Cowboys. What if the Ravens sent Josh Johnson to play? Forget it. Rush is an excellent caretaker and should have all the weapons necessary to perform his duties.”
