Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens: 5 Bold predictions for Week 11

2. Jackson tops 400 total yards

Lamar Jackson has been the toast of the NFL this season and for good reason. The second-year Baltimore Ravens quarterback has clearly taken a huge jump since he took over as the starter midway through his rookie campaign. Jackson’s completion rate has gone up 7.7 percent and he’s already thrown for 2,036 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 702 rushing yards and six more scores.

As good as the Texans have been at times and, statistically, as good as they’ve been against the run, this defense can be had. And with the way that Jackson is locked in right now, the Baltimore signal-caller is going to take advantage. Houston can’t match his speed when he runs, nor can their secondary — especially with Bradley Roby out — stop his weapons. A big day for Action Jackson is incoming.

1. Teams combine for 70+ points

Courtesy of The Action Network, the Over/Under for Sunday’s matchup between the Ravens and Texans is set at 51.5. For my money, that’s almost 20 points too low for what these two teams are going to do to one another on Sunday.

Baltimore is likely going to jump out to an early lead thanks to the rushing ability of Jackson and Mark Ingram. However, Watson and the Houston offense are going to be able to fight back as the Ravens don’t have a pass rush that can hinder what the Texans like to do.

Put simply, we’re going to have a shootout at M&T Bank Stadium. There should be nothing but touchdowns and fantasy football love going around in this game and the result will be the Ravens at home overcoming the Texans, something close to the tune of 38-35 on the scoreboard.
