1. Both Teams Will Score 30+ Points
Although both teams have good defenses, this game is going to turn into a shootout. The Ravens love throwing the ball deep after placation. The Texans have three very fast wideouts who can get behind the secondary. These offenses will be slinging the football and putting up a lot of points. This is going to be a offensive game full of highlights. The victor may come down to which team gets the last possession.
The Ravens are a team that can put up points in a variety of ways. While Lamar Jackson should end up putting on a showcase with his skills as a passer this week, he will still use his legs.
When coupling a strong running display from Jackson with his passing impact, it’s scary to think about because the Ravens have so many offensive weapons. Mark Andrews is one of the league’s best tight ends in the red-zone. Also, JK Dobbins was able to get in the end-zone twice in his debut. Expect the Ravens to put up a ton of points this week.
While the Ravens have a lot of weapons, the Texans offense has just as much firepower. Houston has the type of offense that can pop off and have a lot of success. Watson can carry this offense and be just as electric as Lamar Jackson at times.
Both teams will put up over 30 points, and this game will be a shootout that goes down to the wire. Considering the talent level of the Ravens, the outcome should lean towards them getting the win, but the Texans will have a legitimate chance.
