Have we ever beat the Ravens with Lamar Jackson at QB? I sure don't remember it if we did, but to be honest we rarely beat them before he got there either.
We've lost the last three meetings against the Ravens, last winning 13-25 in 2014 with Arian Foster and Case Keenum but needing 6 FGs by Bullock.Have we ever beat the Ravens with Lamar Jackson at QB?

Hopefully Ryans brings a different attitude and we start beating these teams that we had trouble beating before. Philadelphia is another one.Have we ever beat the Ravens with Lamar Jackson at QB? I sure don't remember it if we did, but to be honest we rarely beat them before he got there either.
We got Case! We got TWO RBs! We beat their ass!!!!!!!!!!!We've lost the last three meetings against the Ravens, last winning 13-25 in 2014 with Arian Foster and Case Keenum but needing 6 FGs by Bullock.
NOTE: Two of those three meetings were against Jackson.
what happened to scruggs?!?!If a couple of our oline starters don't heal up by kickoff then I have almost no hope for this one. Currently LG is up in the air and we aren't sure if Scruggs or Howard will be available week 1.
Grade 2 hamstring. Recovery 2 to 4 weeks, but 2 is too soon. Best to remain out for 3 or 4 weeks.what happened to scruggs?!?!
Howard was supposed to be back by week one...
When Howard got injured the time frame for return was 4-6 weeks. The 4 week mark is the Ravens game and we have received no further clarification so it'll be a wait and see.what happened to scruggs?!?!

I was going to say 24 to 14 Texans lolMan I’m going to go with the win on this one.
Texans 23
Ravens 14
If our defense manages to not get gashed, get a pick six, and have zero turnovers from the offense, we might just leave Baltimore with a W. I’ve smoked way too much weed today…Would be nice to set the tone with a nice ball control game. 20+ rushes from Pierce, simple game management from CJ, couple nice defensive plays.
Isnt their new offense trying to turn him into a pocket passer??? Prob b/c they were getting tired of him getting injured right before the end of the year/playoffs...I think it could get ugly.
Early signs are showing we've been really trying to maintain and improve against the run game which has had mixed success throughout pre-season so far.
That said one thing that's been consistent is the team struggling against mobile QBs. Not a good sign when you're going up against probably the best in that category week 1.
Going to be a big learning experience for the team imo.
Ravens have never lost a home game when favored by 10 or more points at home as long as the Texans have been in existance. 28-0The Ravens are favored by 10...........with homefield advantage, that supposedly translates into only 7 points on their independent merit.I believe the Ravens are not being given enough points.........Vegas just wants to make some money on suckers.

Their long preseason winning streak was snapped this year. So anything is possible lolRavens have never lost a home game when favored by 10 or more points at home as long as the Texans have been in existance. 28-0
Yes it definitely is but I still wouldn't be surprised to see him rip off a couple on us.Isnt their new offense trying to turn him into a pocket passer??? Prob b/c they were getting tired of him getting injured right before the end of the year/playoffs...
That's why I said, Vegas is trying to reel in suckers with their generous "pro Texans" odds.Ravens have never lost a home game when favored by 10 or more points at home as long as the Texans have been in existance. 28-0

Vegas doesn't guess with their money!New coach. New offense. New defense. New qb.
Vegas is guessing.

They set the initial line and then balance the bets to re-set it. That maximizes their winnings.
That works when there’s even money on both sides. Otherwise, the books are also betting.Vegas doesn't need to win.
The "handling fee" is large enough.

Exactly, they are not in the habit of picking winners and losers, it’s about winning no matter the outcome, and being that the vig is sufficiently large they have some margin for error if the action isn’t equal on both sides.They try to set the line to get even money.
When Sports Books get overloaded on one team, they call other Sports Books to offload some of their imbalance.They try to set the line to get even money.
Agreed but the margin of error isn't as great as 76 makes it out to be.Exactly, they are not in the habit of picking winners and losers, it’s about winning no matter the outcome, and being that the vig is sufficiently large they have some margin for error if the action isn’t equal on both sides.

Yes sir. Even though the first game will be this Thursday. Lions vs ChiefsReady or not the NFL regular season will begin this Sunday! Looking forward to see what DeMeco can do with this team as a first time NFL HC.
Hopefully it comes out similar to Prime Time's coaching debut with the upset and better defense!Ready or not the NFL regular season will begin this Sunday! Looking forward to see what DeMeco can do with this team as a first time NFL HC.
They also show Jones backing up RT and Patterson backing up LG. So if Howard can't go or is ineffective do they shift with Kendrick Green taking over at C?Josh Jones starting LG. Jarrett Patterson C. I expect to see Deiter starting as a practice squad elevation but would love it if Jones has shown enough that they trust him as a starter at this point. The team really needs one of these late OL acquisitions to hit.
They probably just put Fant at RT.They also show Jones backing up RT and Patterson backing up LG. So if Howard can't go or is ineffective do they shift with Kendrick Green taking over at C?
Lots of Ravens fans are concerned with their Dline and their inability to stop the run...says the interior of that line gets gashed pretty hard and often...perhaps the 1-2 combo of DP and DS can keep the chains moving and the clock ticking...

Considering the state of the Texans o-line, this might be a match of the whose weakness can be exploited. I’m feeling like it might be tough to run the rock. Hope I’m wrong, but if Baltimore stops the run, it’s going to be a very hard day at the office for CJ and company. I just hope he gets out of there alive at this point.
Early prediction…Baltimore 27 Texans 10
With a rookie coach & rookie QB on the road 10 definitely sounds conservative, maybe very conservative to me too.The Ravens are favored by 10...........with homefield advantage, that supposedly translates into only 7 points on their independent merit.I believe the Ravens are not being given enough points.........Vegas just wants to make some money on suckers.

Idk I'm finding it hard to be too scared of the Ravens pass rush. They lost the vast majority of their sack production over the offseason and are relying on several unknowns to step up and provide that. The only guy on their dline who has ever had more than 6 sacks in a year is Clowney who only had 3 sacks in 2022. Also their secondary, while not awful, without Humphrey is also in a tough spot.I'm definitely feeling uncomforable about this game especially after the recent injuries have downgraded our Oline.
I just hope CJ gets out of Baltimore

I'm bracing for it because this could be an embarrassment, a blowout.
It's gonna be a tough baptism for CJ, so most of all I'm just hoping he doesn't get hurt.
