Cincinnati Bengals vs Houston Texans Prediction

Transcript

00:00 This Bengals team is rolling right now. They're playing at a high level. The Texans are dealing

00:04 with some injuries. I talked about the Bengals injuries. We know about them. No T Higgins,

00:09 no Sam Hubbard. Those are big losses. But I think that this defense, they have enough guys to fill

00:15 in for Sam Hubbard, especially this week when it's not a run heavy team. Hubbard's so good against

00:20 the run. I know he's good against the pass as well, but really good against the run. And so

00:24 I expect Cam Sample, Miles Murphy, and Joseph Osai to step up, make their presence felt. That trio,

00:31 it's their time to shine. And so this defense, they throttle the Texans down. They say,

00:37 "We know you scored 30 plus last week against Tampa. This isn't Tampa." The Texans only get

00:41 to 17. Meanwhile, this Bengals offense continues to roll. Not having T Higgins, that's huge.

00:47 There's no doubt about it. But I think Burrow's playing at such a high level. This offensive

00:51 line's playing at such a high level that you're going to look up and they're going to have 27

00:55 points. So I'll take the Bengals 27-17. They handle business against a quality, young Houston team.

01:01 They get to five wins in a row and they keep this train rolling with a huge, huge matchup

01:08 against the Baltimore Ravens lingering. And I expect Burrow to throw three touchdowns this week.

01:13 I think he's going to have a big game, spread it out. Andre Yusufov deep ball. I mentioned that.

01:18 I think he has a touchdown. I think Jamar Chase finds the end zone. And I'll say Tanner Hutson.

01:24 I think he finds the end zone. He didn't get into the tight end touchdown party last week.

01:28 I think that'll happen on Sunday.
