Week 12 Matchup: Cincinnati Bengals (6-3-1) vs. Houston Texans (5-5)
TV Schedule: Sunday, Nov. 23, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS
Stadium: NRG Stadium
Line: Houston (-1.5)
The Cincinnati Bengals may enter this game with the better record, but if they are not careful, they very well could drop this Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans.
As dominant as the Indianapolis Colts have been this season, it is amazing to think that the Texans are just one game behind them in the AFC South. That’s sports for you. Houston is coming off a solid victory, one that saw it knock off the Cleveland Browns by the score of 23-7. As a matter of fact, the Texans have allowed just 204 points on the year, which is the least amount in the division. They also let Ryan Mallett take the snaps last contest, so fans have plenty to be excited about.
The New Orleans Saints don’t lose at home very often, but they dropped a game to the Bengals in Week 11. Not to mention, Cincy only allowed 10 points in the game, which isn’t typical for a Drew Brees-led team, especially in its own house. The Bengals are sitting at the top of their division, but it is a very tight division, meaning a loss or two could change that in a hurry.
When it all comes down to it, Cincinnati has only lost three games on the year. If it can beat New Orleans on the road, it can certainly beat Houston on the road.
PREDICTION: Bengals 20, Texans 14
