Result: Win
Total: 42.00 | -105.00 Over
Result: Win
Play: Under
Rating: 8*
The Houston Texans are battling for a postseason spot sitting top of the AFC South, and they came back from a 12-point deficit for a 21-20 win against Jacksonville last week. They'll face a Cincinnati Bengals team that was officially eliminated from playoff contention with a 24-20 loss to rival Pittsburgh last week.
Houston QB Tom Savage came off the bench and went 23-of-36 passing for 260 yards but no TD passes in last week's comeback. He'll get the start here over $72 million quarterback Brock Osweiler, but he could certainly have asked for an easier opponent than a Bengals D that is allowing just 20.9 points per game. Houston has averaged just 17.9 points per game with Osweiler calling the signals, and I don't expect more production with Savage under center.
Under is 5-1 in Bengals last six games overall, under is 8-3 in Texans last 11 home games, under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.
