    Default Bengals @ Texans

    There's always one game no one is really excited about, which is what Saturday afternoon is for! The Texans are in free-fall so I like the Bengals here. AJ Green is going to torch them deep. Discuss...

    As bad as the Texan's have been playing in the last month or so of the season I still think that they will get there shit together and beat the Bengals. The Texas are just too talented to lose to the Bengals.

    The Bengals are going to play the Texans tough this year and close the gap on their 21 point loss last year. But the Texans will triumph and head over to NE.

    Should be close, but I like Houston here.

    I think this will be a close, low-scoring game. The Bengals habe a stout D-line vs. the pass and run. I expect Hou's D to also show up. I'll give Hou the edge because they're at home. I also wonder how much Cinci has in the tank after the emotional victories the past two weeks vs. B'more and Pit. Sometimes young teams like them, who are learning how to win, run out of gas dring their first, real taste of what it's like to be a playoff team.

    Last week's victory against Baltimore was not emotional. Both teams had nothing to play for but the Ravens sat all their guys and were begging for the Bengals to beat them, which they barely managed to do because their hearts weren't really in it either.

    I'm taking Houston here. AJ Green hasn't been a factor lately and I think HOU D will get their act together.
