will have analysis on each game to follow
also will tease balt, not sure other side yet
1* Cinci +4.5 over Houston
Play at +4 or higher
Houston is limping into the playoffs, and that is never good. On the other side, the Bengals are hot and have won their last 3 and 7 of their last 8 (only loss was vs. Dallas when they were up 19-10 in the 4th). Cinci's D has been one of the best in the league the last few weeks and have only allowed 4.3 YPP the last 3 weeks (3rd in that time frame). For the year they are 5th in YPP allowed (4.9). They rank 11th against the run (4.1 YPR) and 9th vs the pass (6.7 YPPA). More importantly, they are one of the best at getting to the QB (51 sacks on year, 2nd). Houston's D has been struggling lately, especially their pass D. Offensively, these teams are very similar. Cinci is 20th in rushing offense and Houston is 16th. Through the air Cinci is 15th (7.1 YPPA) and Houston is 13th (7.3 YPPA). My caluclated line is Houston -3.5. Cinci has been playing some of the best ball out of any team lately...Bengals get revenge for last years loss. I also lean to the under.
