Houston vs Baltimore
Play: Baltimore -7½
In their first meeting back in October, Baltimore prevailed, 29-14. That game was played without WR, Andre Johnson. This game will be played without QB, Matt Schaub. Taylor Yates is at the helm. Yates has just a 60.3% completion rate, 4/3 TD/INT ratio, and a 82.9 QB rating. Texans top-receiver, TE, Owen Daniels injured his hand LW and is questionable here. With the injuries to both Schaub and Daniels, Houston is left with just a running game. They rank 2nd in the NFL on the ground but that is with a solid passing game. Now, Baltimore can key on the run. This makes them very dangerous considering they are the #2 stop unit vs. the rush (92.6 YPG) as it is. Their defense is ferocious, allowing a mere 16.6 PPG. On offense, Ray Rice led the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 2068. QB, Joe Flacco has the luxury of playing at home for the first time in quite a while in the post-season. The Texans are 1-4 ATS their L5 games played against the Ravens while the Ravens are 4-1 ATS their L5 Playoff games played as a favorite. Take Baltimore.Comment

SPORTS WAGERS
Youngstown St +8 over BUTLER
When you think of the Horizon League, you think Butler Bulldogs because this team has made a name for themselves with eight consecutive league titles and a number of deep runs in the March Madness annual event. The Youngstown State Penguins are a virtual unknown from the same conference. So, when you wager on the Bulldogs in conference play against these teams they've been beating up on for years, you're going to pay a premium. This season, the Bulldogs are a middle-of-the-pack Horizon League club. They rank 303rd in the nation in points scored. They're 3-3 in the conference and 9-9 overall. In their last game against Cleveland State on Friday, they used up plenty of energy to get back into a game that they trailed 20-4 in. They briefly took a 41-40 lead before losing by 14. The Bulldogs are small, they always run cold for prolonged minutes during a game and in no way are they 8-points better than the Penguins. Youngstown State is 4-2 in the conference and 9-7 overall. They have three players, Ashen Ward, junior Damian Eargle and DuShawn Brooks who have all won Horizon League player of the week honours. The Penguins are more balanced and more dangerous from an offensive standpoint. Horizon League teams have been the Bulldogs whipping boys for years. This season they know they have a chance for redemption and the Penguins are no exception. Possible upset. Play: Youngstown State +8 (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).
Georgia Tech +109 over MARYLAND
The Terrapins come in with an 11-4 record and a 1-1 mark in the conference. On paper that doesn't look bad at all but a close look reveals a whole different story. Maryland's four losses have come against Alabama by 20, Iona by 26, Illinois by nine and N.C. State by five. One could argue that's the only four good teams on its entire schedule thus far. The Terps lone conference win came against a rather lame Wake Forest club. Maryland's starting five could be the weakest in the conference and as a result, they're going to be tooth and nails to beat any other ACC team. The Yellow Jackets are also 1-1 in the conference and just 8-8 overall. However, their two ACC games have come against Duke and N.C. State. They lost by just seven at Duke and followed that up with an 11-point road win at N.C. State. Tech is really a wild card in this conference. They've been wildly inconsistent but they've also shown that they're very capable of beating some quality clubs if they play like a team. The Yellow Jackets have to be feeling pretty good about themselves after successive quality games against two solid ACC clubs and now they take a huge step down in class in this pivotal matchup that can see them either go 2-1 in the conference or 1-2. Play: Georgia Tech +109 (Risking 2 units).Comment

3.3* Early Bird NFL Play - Don't Miss Out! Ravens vs. Texans
Don't miss out on today's early bird NFL play guaranteed backed by analysis. The Ravens vs. the Texans two top defenses go in the first game today.
The Bottom Line:
Ravens -1.5 & Over 30.5 (3.3* PLAY)
Love this teaser. I don't like laying 7.5, but if I had to I'd do it and I think the Ravens will cover. Ravens are a bad match up for the Texans because of the run defense. Look for the Ravens to really give the Texans offense issues. On the flip side the Ravens scored 29 on them the first time despite being -2 in the turnover margin. Ravens are 18-1 in their last 19 home games. Look for the Texans to open it up a little bit and I think they can score some points, but it won't be enough.Comment
