Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens -9.5
M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore
Saturday 4:30 p.m. ET

Clay's Projected Score: Ravens 26, Texans 20

Gus Edwards under 13.5 rushing attempts (-120): Edwards was active for all 17 of Baltimore's regular-season games and was nonetheless limited to only 43% of the team's designed rushing attempts. That worked out to 11.6 per game, and he finished 11 of those 17 outings with fewer than 14 carries. All six exceptions came in Baltimore wins by at least seven points. Edwards has seen his carry total dip as of late, having fallen short of 14 carries in seven of his past nine games. The veteran back has been sharing the backfield with Justice Hill and is expected to defer some carries to newcomer Dalvin Cook during the playoffs. Houston has arguably the league's best run defense, having allowed a league-low 3.3 yards per carry during the regular season. Edwards is a good bet to fall short here, and that will especially be the case if Houston keeps it relatively close.
