Ravens-Texans, predict the final score
Ravens 24
Texans 13
Analyzing this matchup really boils down one thing, quarterback play. If the Ravens do what they do best, which is making the opposing team one dimensional and shutting down the run, then I just cannot see TJ Yates beating the Ravens. Only way is if they get a couple turnovers and make it a short field.
I think you'll see a lot of quick drops by Flacco w/ him using both TE's and Boldin quite a bit. And of course a healthy dose of Ray Rice.
The other thing will be the crowd noise. It will be next to impossible for Yates to make any changes whatsoever at the line. On top of the that, I cannot remember the last time a rookie QB came into The Vault and tore up the Ravens (minus Andy Dalton's second half this year.
Also, getting two weeks to prep for Houston will be huge.

41-6 Ravens. 3 Turnovers by Yates.
Re: Ravens-Texans, predict the final score
27-13 Ravens. I see us jumping out to a quick lead and Yates not being able to overcome it.

No way this one is a blow out.

Agreed. I think it will be similar to the last game w/ the Texans. Close thru 3 quarters and then the Ravens pull away late.

Our O line vs their D line is the big matchup, whoever wins that will win\!

It was close for a while because we couldn't get it done in the redzone, and because Schaub didn't turn it over. I see those two factors changing this time around.

27-17
Arian Foster makes a play, Yates throws up a miracle to Johnson
Offense gets going with Boldin in the lineup and Grubbs playing this time around. Pitta scores, Rice Scores, Evans Scores (:D)
