The Baltimore Ravens are heading into a battle with the Houston Texans at M&T Bank Stadium. Here is the weekly Ebony Bird Round Table to give you everything you need to know about the game:

The Baltimore Ravens are going to beat the Houston Texans. I like the match up. I like the momentum that the Ravens have built. I think the Baltimore crowd is going to go crazy for their Ravens. With all due respect to the Texans, the Ravens are going to find a way to win this game. You already know how I feel about this game. I gave you three predictions already. I’m calling for a 35-24 victory for the purple and black.

One thing I want to talk to you about is the impact this game can have on the MVP race. There are four names in the MVP conversation. Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson and Christian McCaffrey. Jackson has already beaten Wilson’s Seahawks. If Jackson takes down another MVP candidate in Watson, that has to propel him to the top of the list. The Ravens need a great game from Jackson to win this game. Expect him to deliver.

There are a few Ravens that I think have a big day tomorrow. I think Tyus Bowser will get a sack on Watson. I think the defense will get an interception off him too and Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey will be on top of their game. Offensively, this could be a great game for Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown. When these two receiving options do well, the offense goes to the next level. Put me down for the Ravens to get a win at home and for them to keep proving their merit as contenders.
