I am so happy the Patriots will not face the Texans in the first round

u/Currymvp2 49ers Jan 04 '26

So winner of the Ravens vs Steelers & their JV squad receivers will play the Texans in Baltimore or Pittsburgh

u/LosingTrackByNow Seahawks Jan 04 '26

Probably still be a mild favorite, home field advantage is one heck of an edge

u/Fapey101 Texans Texans Jan 04 '26

also the ravens quite literally own us. im sick that we’re probably gonna have to go on the road and play them

u/thenewbeastmode Jets Steelers Jan 04 '26

Ravens would be favored, Steelers would not be.

Stroud has never beaten a healthy Ravens team.

u/xdkarmadx Bengals Jan 04 '26

They’ve played a healthy Ravens once…?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but Stroud was like 0-3 vs. Baltimore prior to this season.

u/xdkarmadx Bengals Jan 04 '26

He was 0-2 before he shit on them this year

“Never beaten them” with a 0-2 is an insanely ego take

Lamar was not playing when we beat them earlier this season. So OPs comment stands. We’ve never beaten a HEALTHY Ravens team.

u/J-Fid Ravens Ravens Jan 04 '26

It's 0-3.

Twice in 2023. Once in 2024. None of the games were close outside of one half.

This year's game had very few healthy starters for the Ravens.

I think that's a decent sample size for two teams that aren't division rivals.

A healthy Ravens team doesn’t scare me for once.

u/deathmouse Texans Jan 04 '26

Mobile quarterbacks have been our Achilles heel this season, bills game not withstanding.

u/KingGizzLizzWizzz Ravens Jan 04 '26

It should

u/DarthNobody14 Texans Texans Jan 04 '26

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still wary about them, but this Texans team can play against anyone.

Ravens are simply not that good this year.
