NFL Odds and Betting Lines for Week 17: Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans
Coming off a strong win, Lamar Jackson’s Ravens are favored over CJ Stroud’s Texans to give them an upper hand in the divisional title if the Steelers also lose in the Christmas game against the two-time Super Bowl defending champions.
According to the BetMGM NFL, the latest odds are as follows:
- Spread: Ravens (-5.5)
- Moneyline: Ravens (-250); Texans (+200)
- Over/under: 46.5
Why can the Ravens win?
With second-best odds at the NFL MVP race, quarterback Jackson heavily powers the Ravens’ offense. Their recent victory against the Steelers demonstrated their ability to play at a high level against winning teams, especially ones with an intimidating 1-4 record. The All-Pro quarterback’s record-breaking performance combined with the exceptional running game of Derrick Henry can work well for the team just as they would like.
Henry’s 1,636 rushing yards accumulated in the last 15 games of the season is ranked second in the league with third-best rushing attempts of 278 and touchdowns of 13. Despite initial inconsistency, the Ravens are currently playing at a higher level and can advantage of their opponent’s weakness of stopping the run game.
Why can the Texans win?
Coming to the Texans, after an extraordinary rookie campaign, Stroud has posted 3,492 yards, 19 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and a passer rating of 87.7 while completing 63.2% of his passes. While stopping Henry wouldn’t be easy for the Texans since they are ranked 11th in the league in run defense, they may have a better chance to outperform him would be tackling the star running back.
