The 17th week of the NFL Regular Season is getting heated up, as we know that there are still six spots in the Playoffs up for grabs, and the teams are eager to break apart in the last two remaining weeks.
For now, we are looking at a clash between two teams that have already clinched their playoff spots, but one of them still has something left to do before the regular season ends. Texans and Ravens meet on Christmas day.
Houston comes from a loss against the Chiefs, but they clinched the division title long ago and have nothing to worry about.
Baltimore beat the Steelers at home in a crucial match and now has everything in its favor to get the division title.

Why bet on the Texans?
The Texans will be hosting this clash and are comfortable, as they are leaders of the AFC South by a good margin thanks to their nine wins and six losses run.
The Texans faced an emotional loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, where wide receiver Tank Dell went down with a dislocated kneecap. The team’s spirits were understandably low, but they knew they had to turn the page quickly and get their focus back to where it needed to be as the Ravens came to town, even though they only had three full days of rest before the Christmas clash.
As we mentioned before, the Texans have already clinched the AFC South and a playoff spot, which should have them in a pretty relaxed mood, but playing against the Ravens gives them a chance to face another postseason-bound team, and that experience could certainly pay off in the long run.
Why bet on the Ravens?
The Baltimore Ravens have been on a tear lately, with a run of ten wins and five losses, but even though they have clinched a Wild card spot as the 2nd placed team in the AFC North, they still have something left on their checklist, and that is taking over the first spot from the Steelers, who share the same record.
A win on Wednesday will go a long way in winning the division for the second straight year, and Baltimore knows it, so they will go all out.
In the Ravens’ last match, Derrick Henry had been impossible to tackle as he ran 24 times for 162 yards. King Henry is up to 1636 rushing yards and 15 total touchdowns in his first year in Baltimore. The former Titans’ star is their greatest threat against Houston’s menacing defensive front.Â
Final Betting Analysis: Texans vs. Ravens
Keep in mindthatthis Christmas Day showdown will be the third game in ten days for each of these teams.
The Texans have lost Tank Dell for the season, and with John Metchie III questionable, they may be down to just Nico Collins, Robert Woods, and Xavier Hutchinson as the only viable options at the position. Zay Flowers of the Ravens also missed practice on Sunday as he deals with a shoulder injury that could keep him out from Wednesday’s game.
On top of the offensive injuries, these two defenses have been two of the best in the NFL lately. One way or the other, we are expecting to have a pretty interesting clash in the upcoming NFL match, but our betting token is placed on the Baltimore Ravens. Go for the UNDER.
Go for a win for the visitors at 1.94. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $94 for a total payout of $194.
