3. Week 11: at Baltimore Ravens

This could eventually become a game which propels or ruins the season of one of these two teams because both are not only going to be in the hunt for their respective division titles, but they could be in the hunt for a playoff spot via the Wild Card, too.

What draws interest with this game is that it is in the second half of the regular season, plus it features two of the top young quarterbacks in the league with Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans and Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens.

Jackson has the ability to become a star in the league, which makes this matchup of Watson vs. Jackson very exciting to look forward to. Another part of this matchup between the two quarterbacks is seeing how the Texans contain Jackson because he’s a complete quarterback who he can beat a defense in a variety of ways, and the Texans, by Week 11, should know where they stand defensively.

Baltimore is traditionally known for their defense, and they will bring that with them in the Week 11 game as they lost by just six points in the Wild Card round to the Los Angeles Chargers by a 23-17 score.

By this point of the season, Houston should not only know where they are defensively, but on offense, if they are healthy, this roster can be very dangerous.
