How even WE were surprised by this level of Texans disrespect

PRESENTED BY COORS LIGHT

After beating the Cleveland Browns in the wild card round of the playoffs, the Houston Texans head to Baltimore to face the Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on Saturday.

While we fully understand the Ravens are the No. 1 seed, and they deserve all the respect they're getting, 9.5 points feels like a lot to be favored over Houston, based on how they performed against the Browns.

The number has come down to them being 9 point favorites currently, but that still isn't showing the Texans much respect.

However, when looking at both team's position groups, it's hard to find a group where the Texans have the advantage. One could argue the Texans have better corners, but that's about it.

A silver lining

One positive we can look to is Lamar Jackson's resume in the postseason. He has a 1-4 record in the playoffs, with at least 1 interception in every game.

The Texans were able to capitalize on Joe Flacco's propensity to throw interceptions last week, scoring two pick-six touchdowns. Perhaps the Texans can put some points on the board with their defense again this week.
