That includes seven attempts in the red zone with a 6.1 yards per carry, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ravens simply haven&#8217;t been relying on him near the goal line but how can anyone expect that to continue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry&#8217;s been a beast all season. He averages 5.9 YPC and it&#8217;s only a matter of time before he finds the end zone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Over 44.5 points (-136): <\/strong>This total is too low for a Baltimore game, even on a short week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ravens have gone over this number in all but two games this season and their offence is a big reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>433.7 total yards per game (1st)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30.1 points per game (3rd)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>48.2% third-down conversion rate (3rd)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To add even more context, the Ravens have scored 34-plus points seven times this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, their defence can get torched in the air, as I mentioned before. So that leaves the door open for the Texans&#8217; offence to be productive at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, the standard over is a great solo bet for this game, but I will tease it down for the extra cushion \u2014 just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 9:55 a.m. on 12\/24\/24.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans close out a Christmas Day NFL doubleheader.
