Ravens vs. Texans Prediction, Pick Against the Spread, Latest Odds for Christmas Day NFL

The Houston Texans will host the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day.

Houston will attempt to bounce back from a hard-fought loss on Saturday afternoon. DeMeco Ryans' team put forth a strong effort, but as so many other teams have this season, they fell short against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The loss pushed the Texans record to 9-6. However, Houston has already locked up their second-consecutive AFC South Championship. The AFC South was weak this season, and the Texans took advantage of that.

The Texans are hopeful for a deep playoff push, but they will have to do that without some key players. Star wideout Tank Dell suffered a season-ending injury in the loss on Saturday. Additionally, the Texans will be without veteran Stefon Diggs for the rest of the season. Houston signed veteran Dionte Johnson this week to help fill the hole.
