Cincinnati Bengals:
I can’t remember the last time the Bengals have played as good as they have this NFL season, it’s been a long time but it’s great to see them playing good again. Cincinnati was 7-6 with three games to play in the regular season and they ran the table thanks to their defense which allowed them to make the playoffs with a 10-6 record. If there defense continues to play strong they will have a great chance at winning.

Houston Texans:
The Texans had a great season even with losing their last two games. Halfway through the season I thought Houston would lose in the AFC Divisional game in the playoffs even though many thought they could easily win the Super Bowl since they were unstoppable at the time. However, I predicted this due to their lack of playoff experience and high pressure games. So far they are proving me right by losing the last two critical games that could have given them a #1 seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Game Prediction:
The NFL Playoffs are finally hear and this season has not disappointed fans around the world. It’s going to be a great post season being kicked off with the Bengals vs Texans. The point spread is favoring Houston by 4.5 points, and I’m guessing the professional bookmakers have been stressed picking these odds a little with the inconsistency of the Texans the last two games. This game really could go either way, but I’m going to stick with the Houston Texans winning this game, beating the point spread, and I take the over. It’s always tough to win on the road in the NFL, but anything can happened in the playoffs as we have seen in years past.
