AAA's EARLY 10* *Ravens/Texans* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER!
(NFL) Baltimore vs. Houston,
Total: 42.00 | -107.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans.

For a number of different situational, motivational and strong trend based factors, I'm expecting this total to eclipse the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. Baltimore actually controls its own fate, so with only one thing on its mind (winning), I'm expecting the visitors to come in razor focused on the task at hand. And with a mathemtical shot at still gaining entrance to the promised land, I'm also expecting Houston to be at its best today. So from a situational stand point, it simply doesn't get much better than this. The Ravens are tied with AFC North rival Pittsburgh atop the standings and both teams are just one-half game behind the Bengals for the North lead. Baltimore has to be liking its chances, it's offense is averaging 26.9 points to rank eighth overall int he league and it will be particularly motivated after barely holding on for a 20-12 win over Jacksonville last Sunday. Houston had won two in a row before losing two QB's in last week's 17-10 setback at Indianapolis; starter Ryan Fitzpatrick suffered a broken leg, while rookie Tom Savage suffered a knee injury. That means that either Thad Lewis or Case Keenum will get the start today; Keenum threw of 1,760 yards with nine TD's and six INT's in eight starts for the Texans last year. But whoever gets the call today will obviously benefit greatly from the expected return of WR Andre Johnson, who sat out last week with a concussion. From a trend-based angle, this play is also extremely strong, note that Baltimore has seen the total go OVER the number in five of seven road games and in three of its last four after two or more consecutive SU wins. And note that Houston has seen the total sail above the number in four of seven this year when playing the role of underdog. In my opinion, the conditions are indeed right for a higher-scoring shootout, play on the OVER.
