Only two weeks in the 2024/25 NFL regular season remain as the Houston Texans host the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day. The Texans come into this week 17 contest sitting atop the AFC South with a 9-6 record while the Ravens sit second in the AFC North at 10-5. Here’s our match prediction.

The Texans were unable to slow down the red-hot Chiefs when the two teams faced off at Arrowhead Stadium this past Saturday. The 27-19 loss marked an end to a two-game winning streak for Houston.

Houston can rest easy as they have already clinched the playoffs as division winners. However, with four defeats in their last seven games overall, the hosts will be desperate to put another win on the board.

Baltimore now has a chance at taking the AFC North crown following their 34-17 home win over division rivals Pittsburgh last Saturday. The result means that both the Ravens and Steelers are deadlocked with identical records.

While they’ll certainly be gunning for the division crown for the second year in a row, the visitors have already secured a playoff berth.

The Ravens have now won their last two games in a row and three of their last four overall. The visitors have also won their last two road games on the trot so should have plenty of confidence here.
