Betting on the Houston Texans (+8)
Regular season record: 4-4
It takes time to be a successful quarterback in the NFL, but CJ Stroud appears to be on the right track already. Stroud led the Texans to a 39-37 win in a shootout with Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home in Week 9, as the first-year NFL quarterback passed for 470 yards and five touchdowns with zero interceptions on 30/42 completions.
His total passing yards versus the Bucs are the most ever for a rookie in a single game. The confidence he got from that performance and the accompanying victory over Tampa Bay could just be a sign of a better thing to come from the former Ohio State Buckeyes star. As a team, the Texans are averaging 23.4 points per game and fourth with 264.1 passing yards per contest.
Betting on the Cincinnati Bengals (-8)
Regular season record: 5-3
Joe Burrow and the Bengals continue to roll. Their win streak has hit four games after defeating Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills at home in Week 9, 24-18. Brrow flashed his huge arm once again, passing for 348 yards and two touchdowns on 31/44 completions versus the Bills.
Tee Higgins went off downfield with 110 receiving yards on eight targets and nine targets, while Cincy’s tight ends also balled out. Irv Smith Jr. and Drew Sample each found the end zone. Over their last two games, the Bengals have victimized two of the biggest preseason Super Bowl contenders in the San Francisco 49ers and the Bills, and that is perhaps all you need to know why the Bengals are expected to take care of business in Week 10 versus the Texans.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Houston Texans vs Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals extend their win streak, with Joe Burrow outplaying Stroud in a potential shootout.
Prediction:
The Bengals win, 27-21.
