Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens – Two of the Best Fantasy RBs Duel it Out in Real Life…Again


The Baltimore Ravens play host to the Houston Texans this Sunday at M&T Stadium. Houston is pushing along with their first ever playoff appearance and victory, hoping to double down on their success in Houston. Arian Foster broke out last week with 153 yards rushing and 2 TDs on the ground. However, during Week 6, the Ravens bottled up Foster to just 49 yards on 15 carries and 62 yards on six catches. Will the presence of Andre Johnson open things up for TJ Yates and free up some matchups for Foster to run quick checkdowns? You can see for yourself in person.

The Ravens and Texans met earlier this season during Week 6 in Baltimore. Ray Rice and Anquan Boldin both walked away with over 100 yards rushing and receiving, respectively, and the Ravens walked away with a 29-14 victory. The big difference this game is that the Texans will be without Matt Schaub but will have TJ Yates throwing to a healthy Andrew Johnson.

Ticket Price Information

Tickets peaked twice – once when the Ravens secured the #2 playoff birth on January 1st and a second time after the Texans won on January 7th and the AFC Divisional games were set.

Must-Win NFL Games Week 17 – Ticket Price Comparison

In the NFL, with only 16 games in the regular season, every game is important. However, as we roll in to the final week of the season, there are three absolute must-win games.  Rams-Seahawks, Titans-Colts, and Bears-Packers.  For all intents and purposes these teams each have a playoff game in week 17.  Since these game can almost be classified as a playoff game we thought it would be interesting to take a look a the ticket prices on the secondary market for each of these games to see if fans are willing to pay more for the week 17 must-win games than an average home game during the regular season.

St. Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field on Sunday at 8:20PM – This game is basically the first round of the playoffs for these two teams.  The winner of this game will win the NFC West and advance to the playoffs and the loser will be watching the rest of the season from home.

The average ticket price to the Seahawks-Rams game this weekend is $93.30, just 79.5% of the cost for an average Seahawks home game this season.  With an average ticket price of $93.30 this game ranks as the 3rd least expensive Seahawks home game this season and the 12th most expensive game in the NFL this weekend.  It is a little surprising that ticket prices for the Rams-Seahawks game are not higher but then again this is the NFC West and you really can’t be surprised about anything in the NFC West this season.

Average Ticket Price of Seahawks Home Games

Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday at 4:15PM - This is a must win game for the Colts because if they lose and the Jaguars win against the Texans they will not advance to the post-season for the first time in 8 seasons.  The 5-10 Texans do not have much to play for since they are no longer in playoff contention and it is likely that the Jags will beat them on Sunday so it is absolutely vital for the Colts to beat the Titans this weekend.

The average ticket price to the Titans-Colts game this weekend is $142.94, just 83% of the cost for an average Colts home game this season.  With an average ticket price of $142.94 the Titans at Colts game ranks as the 3rd least expensive Colts home game this season and the 6th most expensive game in the NFL this weekend.  We were a little surprised to find that ticket prices for this extremely important game are not higher compared to the rest of the Colts home games.

Average Ticket Price of Colts Home Games

Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday at 4:15PM - This is a must win game for the Packers because if they lose they need both the Giants to lose to the Redskins and the Buccaneers to lose to the Saints in order to clinch a wild card berth.

The average ticket price to the Bears-Packers game this weekend is $207.42, which is just $2 more expensive than a ticket to the average Packers home game this season.  With an average ticket price of $207.42 the Bear-Packers game ranks as the 3rd most expensive game at Lambeau Field this season and the most expensive game in the NFL this weekend.

Are you surprised that the ticket prices for the Titans-Colts and the Rams-Seahawks games are relatively low considering the impact that each of these games has on the outcome of the entire season?  Let us know in the comments or on Twitter @SeatGeek.

NFC Playoff Picture: Rams and Seahawks Go Head to Head for NFC West

NFCEntering week 17, the NFC playoff picture is starting to get a little more clear.  Seven NFC teams are out of playoff contention, four have clinched a playoff berth, and five are still in the hunt.  The Rams and the Seahawks will battle it out in week 17 to decide the NFC West division while the final NFC wild card spot will go to either the Packers, Giants or the Buccaneers.  We also have analysis of the AFC playoff picture.

NFC Teams in the playoff hunt:

St. Louis RamsThe Rams will win the NFC West if they win against the Seahawks.

Seattle SeahawksThe Seahawks will win the NFC West if they win against the Rams.  If this happens, a 7-9 Seahawks will make the playoffs which will cause NFL analysts and fans to lose their minds over a sub .500 team making the playoffs while 10-6 teams are sitting on the sidelines.

New York GiantsThe Giants will clinch a wild card spot with a win against the Redskins and a Bears win against the Packers.

Green Bay PackersThe Bears have already clinched the NFC North division so the Packers only chance at making the playoffs is by clinching a wild card spot.  Since the Packers beat the Giants this past weekend, they are in the playoffs with a win against the Bears.

Tampa Bay BuccaneersThe Buccaneers are out of the NFC South divisional race but still have a chance to win a wild card spot.  The Buccaneers need to win their final game and have both the Packers and the Giants lose.
