Baltimore Ravens Form

Baltimore have forced themselves into a two-way tie with Pittsburgh at the top of the AFC North thanks to last weekend's win over the Steelers.

The Ravens opened the season with back-to-back defeats, but rallied to win five consecutive games to kick-start their campaign.

That run was ended by a 29-24 defeat in Cleveland, but they rebounded with a couple of home wins, blowing out Denver 41-10 before fending off Cincinnati for a 35-34 victory.

Baltimore failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 18-16 in Pittsburgh, and they then failed to back up a 30-23 win at the Los Angeles Chargers as they lost 24-19 to Philadelphia.

The Ravens rebounded immediately to beat the New York Giants 35-14, before winning that huge meeting with Pittsburgh, 34-17.

Houston Texans Form

Houston enter this matchup having already secured a place in the postseason thanks to a 9-6 record.

The Texans opened the season with five wins in their first six games, but saw their form cool off in late October.

They lost 24-22 in Green Bay, and then failed to back up a 23-20 victory in Indianapolis as they lost 21-13 at the New York Jets and 26-23 at home to Detroit.

Houston bounced back with a 34-10 blowout of Dallas, and then responded to a 32-27 loss to Tennessee with a 23-20 win in Jacksonville.

The Texans made it back-to-back wins with a 20-12 victory over Miami, but failed to make it three-in-a-row last weekend as they were beaten 27-19 at Kansas City.

Verdict

Baltimore just won a massive matchup against Pittsburgh and are backed to follow it up here.

Lamar Jackson has the Ravens rolling, and with injuries piling up for Houston, the Texans are unlikely to keep pace on the scoreboard.
