00:00 Ravens are favored as we would have anticipated it as Lamar Jackson against

00:07 CJ Stroud. Where do you look Joe? I like the dog in this ballgame. I'm going with

00:12 the young guns CJ Stroud, the Houston Texans. They showed me something in terms

00:16 of the rematch last week against the Cleveland Browns. Secondary was very

00:20 opportunistic against a very good quarterback at least playing that way in

00:24 terms of Joe Flacco. Two interceptions, one to the house to seal that deal but

00:29 it was the front seven guys. We didn't talk about it enough. Kareem Hunt, Jerome

00:32 Ford basically taken out of that ballgame. They held Cleveland to only

00:37 2.8 yards per rush. I don't think they duplicate 2.8 but I still think they

00:42 contain the Baltimore rushing attack enough to be well within this

00:47 number. Again they could be down 15-16 points in the fourth quarter as long as

00:52 I see CJ Stroud. That offense I'm taking the Texans plus the nine and a half. Do

00:57 lean to the under because I'm worried about Baltimore coming out of the

01:01 bye week with Lamar who hasn't performed all that well in a playoff spot.

01:05 Sides a tough one for me. I do think the Baltimore Ravens win this game but I've

01:09 said all week long if there's an upset chance from a team that's giving the 10

01:13 points or getting roughly 10 points it's probably going to be the Texans because

01:16 of their quarterback. He can throw in any temperatures and also you take a look

01:20 at a Baltimore offense and I'm knocking them a little bit right. You saw how

01:23 many points this could against the Dolphins and the 49ers but I think their

01:26 MO would be let's just get out there ground and pound. We'll make the plays

01:29 when we need to. We'll win this football game which then leaves that back door

01:32 wide open for nine and a half because the one thing we do know CJ Stroud's not

01:35 coming out of this football game if he's down 14 points with six minutes to go.

01:38 He's gonna keep firing downfield but I'm opposite you. I like the total of this

01:42 game. I like the over 43 and a half but it's also one of those where drive home

01:46 from the show, get in front of the couch, see what the conditions really are in

01:49 Baltimore and how they're handling it because you saw last week minus 37

01:53 degrees. This is nowhere near that temperature but still we're gonna get

01:56 around zero degrees technically when you factor in the wind chill. I still think

01:59 these offenses come out kicking and also from a team coming back this is gonna be

02:03 the Miami Dolphins. It's like all dead in the water at seven.

02:05 CJ Stroud will go down shocking Kevin in this ballgame. He absolutely will. Look

02:10 the look for me is Texans and over. Texans team total is 16 and a half is

02:16 the most appetizing number for me. What do you think about that Bob? I like that.

02:20 I mean 16 and a half. Doesn't that just seem like it's supposed to be like that?

02:23 You know I could see them in the area of 20. I still think the game is an under.
