Baltimore Ravens 6.5-point road favorites at Houston Texans in Week 2

The Baltimore Ravens looked like Super Bowl contenders in Week 1 and come into their Houston Texans Week 2 game as 6.5-point favorites.

The Houston Texans (0-1) host the AFC North juggernaut Baltimore Ravens (1-0) at NRG stadium as 6.5-point home underdogs in Week 2. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.

Baltimore and Lamar Jackson trampled the Cleveland Browns 38-6 in Week 1 behind a 94.1 QB rating from Jackson which included 275 passing yards and three touchdowns.

Houston lost the NFL season-opener 34-20 to the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs were just too dynamic for the Texans, committing zero turnovers, one penalty and possessing the ball for nearly 35 minutes.

BetMGM Sportsbook opened Baltimore as a -278 favorite and Houston is priced at +230 with a projected total of 51.5 (Over and Under both -110).
