The Baltimore Ravens host the Houston Texans on "Monday Night Football" as both teams try to stay alive in the playoff conversation. The Ravens are 7.5-point favorites, up a half-point from where it opened.
The over-under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored in the game, is 38.5, up half-a-point as well. 
Before you bet on a "Monday Night Football" game like this, you'll want to hear what Mike Tierney has to say.
Tierney is a national sportswriter who has covered seven Super Bowls and he has an extreme gift for picking over-unders. On Thanksgiving, he told readers to take the under 48 for Chargers-Cowboys. The result? The Chargers won 28-6 and the under hit with two touchdowns to spare. It was a profitable Turkey Day for anybody who took Tierney's advice.
And that wasn't some lucky guess. Tierney has been crushing the books on these picks for two years now, going an astonishing 44-18 on NFL over-under picks since the beginning of last season, a cash rate of over 70 percent. Those who have followed his picks since then have seen massive returns.
Now, Tierney has analyzed every matchup, every trend and every angle for the Monday night matchup between the Ravens and Texans and locked in his over-under pick. He's sharing it only over at SportsLine.
Tierney knows this will be a matchup dominated by the defenses -- particularly Baltimore's. The Texans are a shell of themselves offensively with Deshaun Watson (knee) out for the season. Backup quarterback Tom Savage has been among the worst signal callers in the league with a passer rating of 71.
The Ravens are No. 7 in total defense and second in scoring defense. Coach John Harbaugh has also said linebacker C.J. Mosley will be ready to go despite an ankle injury that kept him out of practice last week. That means Baltimore will be close to full strength.
But that doesn't necessarily mean "Monday Night Football" will go under, especially with a low total of 38.5.
Even with Savage under center, the Texans were able to drop 31 points on the Cardinals last week, and the Ravens have averaged 27.7 points over their past three games, which includes a 40-0 blanking of the Dolphins. 
An outburst like that would put the under in serious danger, especially considering that defensive and special teams touchdowns also count for the total.
Tierney has evaluated all of these circumstances and knows there's a huge x-factor that ultimately determines whether Ravens-Texans goes over or under. And he's sharing it over at SportsLine.
