Baltimore Ravens vs Houston Texans Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 10/5/25, 9:21 AM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 10/15/25 at 6:52 AM in NFL Picks

The Houston Texans will try to keep the good times rolling and make it two in a row this week when they head to Baltimore to play the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Kickoff for this AFC clash is scheduled for 1 p.m. EST, and the game will be broadcast on CBS.

It is going to be hard to know what to expect from either team in this game. Houston has struggled on offense for 3 ¾ games this season. Things began to click in the fourth quarter vs. a dreadful Tennessee Titans team last week, and they scored three touchdowns—more than they had scored in their three previous games. However, despite their offensive struggles, they’ve been in every game this season thanks to their stifling defense. Through Week 4, they have the No. 1 scoring defense in the league (12.8 points per game allowed). But Baltimore will be without Lamar Jackson and will have Cooper Rush at quarterback. Jackson’s dynamic playmaking ability has been an integral part of their offensive success. Will they be the same offense or even a workable one without Jackson? Factor in all of the injuries that have decimated their defense, and this game starts to take on the look of one Houston should win.
