The Baltimore Ravens play host to the Houston Texans in Week 11, and there are some fireworks expected at M&T Bank Stadium. Oddsmakers are predicting a bit of a shootout . . . at least if you look at the expected points for this one.
The over/under is set at 49.5 points, according to BetMGM. That’s tied for the third-highest over/under of Week 11.
Though that’s quite a lot of points, there’s plenty of reason to take the over here. The Ravens have had five games go over that this season alone, including the last two weeks. The Texans have also had five games go over 49.5 total points, including four of their last five.
Both Houston and Baltimore have been impressive offensively this season. The Ravens hold the NFL’s top-scoring offense, averaging 33.3 points per game, while the Texans are ranked eighth with an average of 26.4 points per game. Meanwhile, both defenses have been just mediocre this season, ranking near the middle of the league in points and yards allowed.
While there are no guaranteed predictions in the world of sports, all the checkboxes are ticked for a high-scoring contest in Week 11 between Houston and Baltimore. If you’re looking to bet on some NFL action this week, this might be the surest thing.
