No Andre Johnson for Houston... Bengals MUST have this win if they want to keep their playoff positioning. Going to need to stop the run to win this game definitely. No word yet on Clements or Dunlap, but having them back would really help this defense.

I'll say, Bengals by 3

There was already a thread.

It slipped to the second page.

In any event, Bengals have this one set up for them at home, no Andre Johnson, T.J. Yates at QB.

Still should be a close game.

Bengals 27
Texans 24

I said Bengals by 3 on the other thread I believe. I'm sticking with it.

Bengals are favored by 3 in this game.

They are at home but still somewhat surprising.

Houston comes in at 9-3 vs. 7-5 and Bengals have been losing to similar playoff caliber teams.

Bengals so banged up on D...Foster is good enough to keep the Texans close but I think the Bengals win.

Not sure who to root for in this game. Houston needs another loss or two....might as well get it here.

That's one of those spreads that make you wonder if somebody knows something.

Bengals are shaky coming into this game. Defense not playing like it was. They haven't proven they can win a game like this.

They're at home but not selling out.

Walking into the stadium now. Hopefully they can limit Foster and Dalton can make a few plays to Green. This is obviously a huge game so the Bengals need to make a statement.

AJ Green vs. J Jo should be a good one... I really wish he would have stayed

I like Houston because of their defense. I think Cincy's easy schedule early on hid many of their weaknesses.

Ed Hochuli working overtime this week. He did the CLE/PIT game Thursday.

He also did BAL/CLE last week, so he's been stuck in OH/Western PA for a week now.

It did.

But seriously, they announced a blackout on Tuesday because they weren't even close.
