Sunday's predictions

I'm going with a comfortable 20-3 win. I can't see a 4th string QB moving the ball on the Ravens unless they pound it continuously. And I don't see that happening either. On our offensive side, Texans have a decent defense, Joe should post 2 TD's with 2 Justin Tucker field goals.

I also see a closely contested game with a 2-3 point margin of victory. The Texans and Keenum should be loose and fired up; don't know how we will respond. If we play tight and nervous like last Sunday, this could be an extremely close game and decided in the final 2 minutes. Let's hope not and we get a comfortable victory. But I would not be surprised by a loss with the smallest of margin; not this year.

The big key to this game is stopping Foster and this....

 

 

 

For most football-savvy players and coaches, the one true stat that means more than any other -- except the final score itself -- has to do with turnovers.

Currently, the Ravens have a plus-2 turnover ratio -- the same figure they ended the 2011 season -- and are on track to finish with a positive figure for the sixth time in seven seasons.

But they are taking on a Houston team that is the league's best at forcing takeaways (31) and scoring points off them (110). The Texans' plus-12 ratio is the league's second-best, trailing only Green Bay (plus-15).

Houston's 14 fumble recoveries are the league's second most and only four teams have intercepted more passes than the Texans' 17, accomplished by 11 different players.

Given its troubles at the quarterback position, Houston may have to rely on their ability to create turnovers to stay in the game against the Ravens.

Noted defensive end J.J. Watt has three forced fumbles -- tying him with two others for the team lead -- and five fumble recoveries. Cornerback Johnathan Joseph, who is fighting an ankle injury, has intercepted Joe Flacco four times, more than any other player in the league.

But Baltimore has not proven to be as generous as it was last year, when its 29 giveaways were the most since the team lost the ball 40 times in 2007.

The Ravens are one of 13 teams to have given the ball away fewer than 20 times, as they have done so on 17 occasions.

During its last five games, Baltimore has lost two fumbles and thrown one interception, tying it with Green Bay for the fewest in the league http://www.pressboxonline.com/2014/12/19/turnovers-could-be-houstons-lone-hope-against-ravens

∆ sounds like 31-3 game to me

They have medicines that help keep people level minded now.

After a win: Were going to win them all, by blowouts!

After a loss: We suck, we'll lose them all.

 

Meds!

I was WAY off. That's what I get for having so much faith in this team. Everbody here is spot on.

Yup me too, just when you think that maybe we were going to make a run, we go against a team with nothing on the line and make them look like they just sewed up home field advantage.
