With the Houston Texans having serious injuries to qbs Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart and the Bengals losing every single game versus playoff quality squads, both squads have still had their fair share of challenges this year. Both qbs were lost for the year with their injuries and rookie T.J. Yates has taken control. Houston has furthermore viewed key injuries to linebacker Mario Williams as well as wide receiver Andre Johnson. The two squads have already faced each other in the course of the regular season and the Houston Texans made a last effort return try with a game winning td pass caught by wide receiver Kevin Walters with just a few seconds left on the clock.

Super Bowl odds

The Bengals outstanding run game with running backs Cedric Benson and Bernard Scott has been what’s worked for them this year, so they will need to try and stick with that. If they can achieve this they might have the advantage and ultimately wipe out a playoff squad and advance past the 1st round for the 1st time in just over 20 years.

This may boil down to the wire yet again as it’s destined to be a close one. In spite of several injuries to plenty of crucial superstar players, the Houston Texans are slight favorites. The over/under for total total points for this particular game is 38. The line is set with the Texans as three point favorites at their home turf to the longshot Bengals.
