4 Texans worthy of making the Pro Bowl

With the Pro-Bowl voting underway, here are four Houston Texans deserving of going to the All-Star Game in the winter, including Deshaun Watson.

Pro Bowl voting is live. In the thick of a tight AFC playoff race, the Houston Texans have their fair share of players worthy of heading to Orlando, Fla. on Jan. 26, 2020.

Four, in specific, stand-out as obvious Pro-Bowl selections. To get them there, Texans fans will be relied upon. They can do so by heading to NFL.com/ProBowlVote to cast their ballots. Voting ends on Dec. 12, it is free and encouraged that multiple ballots are sent in.

During the final two weeks of voting — Nov. 28 to Dec. 12 — fans will be able to vote for their favorite Texans on Twitter. They will be able to do so by tweeting the player’s first and last name, the player’s official handle or a hashtag including their first and last name. All three methods must include the #ProBowlVote hashtag.

When making voting, here are four Texans to keep in mind for Pro Bowl voting:

QB Deshaun Watson

Deshaun Watson is a full-fledged MVP candidate. His name on the Pro Bowl roster won’t be surprising come January. In fact, come game time in Orlando, Fla., the only thing that would be surprising is not seeing Watson suited up — unless he is in Miami.

Watson is drilling passes at a 70.2% clip, has a career-high 107.1 passer rating, has upped his passing touchdown rate from 5.1% to 6.0% (18) and lowered his interception rate from 1.8% to 1.7%. He has done so while throwing for 2,432 yards, rushing for 279 and tallying five touchdowns on the ground.

If stats don’t do the trick, take a gander at NFL Twitter on Sundays. Seemingly every week, Watson is producing highlight reels with his magical abilities. Combine that with a winning record (6-3), statistical improvement and a broad fan base and Watson is seemingly a lock to make the Pro-Bowl in back-to-back years.

Texans vs Ravens: Point spread, over/under for Week 11

The Baltimore Ravens are favored by 4.5 points over the Houston Texans, but the matchup is projected to be one of the highest scoring of Week 11.

The Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens face off for a Week 11 encounter that features two of the most dynamic young quarterbacks in the game with Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson. Though the game is in the early game time slot on CBS, the implications and the matchup suggests one that will be worthy of late afternoon or prime time billing.

Odds-makers are giving the Ravens the advantage at -4.5, according to BetMGM, which are tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the fifth-slimmest odds of Week 11. Keep in mind the Chiefs aren’t playing “at home,” but rather in Mexico City.

The point total for the game is 49.5, which is tied with Falcons-Panthers for the third-highest point total of Week 11. Only Chargers-Chiefs (52.5) and Saints-Buccaneers (50.5) have higher point totals.

In the history of the series, there have been three games that have gone over the 50-point threshold: Week 10, 2008 (54), Week 7, 2012 (56), and Week 14, 2010 (62). While Joe Flacco was the starting quarterback for the Ravens in all three of those games, Matt Schaub started in two of them. Sage Rosenfels was the Houston starter for the 2008 encounter. Who knows what Watson and Jackson will tally?

The game is a preview of a divisional playoff matchup, if the Texans can get that far. Currently, the Ravens are projected to have the No. 2 seed in the conference while the Texans are the presumptive No. 3. In wild-card scenarios, the highest wild-card goes to the lowest divisional host. As it stands, a playoff rematch would take place at M&T Bank Stadium. If the Texans beat the Ravens Sunday, that could flip-flop with the Texans the No. 2 seed and NRG Stadium the site for a future playoff rematch.

Texans vs Ravens: Time, TV schedule and streaming info for Week 11

The Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens square off for Week 11 at M&T Bank Stadium. Find out how to catch the potential quarterback shootout.

The Houston Texans get back in action with one of the most challenging games on the schedule as they prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens on the road.

While it is a continuation of the great ACC showdowns between Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson, it is also one of the earliest bouts for first-round bye supremacy. Currently, the Ravens are 7-2 and have one of the biggest tiebreakers in all the NFL with a win over the New England Patriots. If the Ravens and Patriots tie, Baltimore achieves home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

But what if the Ravens don’t catch the Patriots? That’s why the Week 11 encounter is so significant. If that happens, then a win for the Texans gives them the tiebreaker of the Ravens, and they would have it immediately as both teams’ records after a Texans win would be 7-3.

Beating the Ravens probably won’t have an impact on Houston’s postseason qualification as there are still six more games to go and three more AFC South games. However, in terms of securing the franchise’s first ever first-round bye, beating the Ravens goes a long way. In terms of the city’s NFL team having a first-round bye, this feat has not been seen around Harris County since January 1994 with the Houston Oilers.
