I have been thinking about this all morning...I think that the Ravens/Texans are more evenly match than some people think. Let's start at defenses. Coverage wise I think the Texans might be better than the Ravens, with the exception of Reed. Pollard is awful at coverage. We had him here for 2 years, and I've seen it first hand. The LB core for the Texans is better than the Ravens. Defensive Line I'd give the edge to the Ravens.
Offensively again they are close. Foster and Rice both studs. Ravens have Leach who Texans' fans know is a beast. Texans have better TE's. Andre Johnson to Boldin at WR. Then we have the QB position.....Flacco is just not that good to me. Slightly better than Yates and that's only because he has more experience. If he struggles (which is a high probabilty) I can easily see the Ravens losing.
I think people see Ravens and Texans and automatically go with Baltimore because of their pedigree or whatever. If you look at it by position the two teams are closer than you'd thinkk.
If you contain Rice and force Flacco to win with his arm, you will win that game.
