The spread has moved up to 8 to 8.5 and even 9 on one sportsbook (Pinnacle). Whoa.
Walterfootball likes the Ravens to cover at 7.5 and even puts 3 "units" on it. His logic is the recent Texan injuries and the trend that "favorites coming off a bye are 99-53 against the spread since 2002". He also came up with this nugget for Texan hopefuls: "Texans are 6-3 ATS as underdogs of 6+ since 2008".
Despite that, I'm thinking it's going to be a closer game..... Ravens to win, Texans to cover....
