Ray Lewis and his Ravens travel to Houston Monday night trying to put their loss against bitter rivals the Steelers last week behind them. After a ferocious start, the Texans are somewhat struggling and the playoffs now seem a distant dream.

The game offers up some interesting matchups, both teams suffer from similar problems and benefit from the same strengths. Each teams respective secondary’s are suspect and both face receivers with the talent to stretch the field. But it’s the Ravens multiple threat at wideout that gives them the edge. While Houston rely almost solely on Andre Johnson, Baltimore’s QB Joe Flacco has many targets that can both beat the defence deep and over the middle, as well as offer effective screen-plays.

Arian Foster is one of the break –out rookies of 2010, but could struggle against a Baltimore front seven that at its best, can block out the sun.

The Ravens are good for the win at 4/6.
