Houston by 2.5

Houston by 1

O/U 43.5

Bengals 20.5
Houston 23.0

....

my take: Houston figured out how to beat Cleveland by watching tape: stop their run game and run the ball, I think they will do similar homework against the Bengals, stop the run, then turn around and run the ball all day and force Andy Dalton to make mistakes under pressure. JJ Watt loves playing against Dalton. Houston will win 23-20

My own power ratings make the game pick'em. We'll probably lose.

You would think this team would be fired up to play Houston considering the 2 dreadful playoff performances, but who knows.

 

[CrashDavisSports]

JJ Watt is unstoppable and if Newhouse has to block him, Dalton may get killed. Literally.

Texans big time over the Bengals.

Houston 24
Bengals 6

Houston stinks.

We might lose, but it won't be because of them.

 

[kramer1]

I think we win rather easily.

Welp, that is that! I am changing my prediction to 41 - 14 Houston now.

What?!?

 

[CrashDavisSports]

What?!?

You heard me. Even in your kidding around manner that I know you don't believe in this team that much, you still jinxed us badly. You know your thing is to call for us to get killed. Then we win.

So even joking around, you just sunk our battleship!

Well....probably.

24-13 Texans. Still not sold on Sunday's performance. We never beat Houston. Ever.

 

[Bengalfish]

Bengals 17 - Texans 14 in a boring slugfest.

 

[CrashDavisSports]

My prediction, Jason Campbell will be our starting QB the rest of the season as JJ Watt may kill Dalton in this game with Newhouse blocking in place of Smith.

 

[JBUCK66]

it's an up and down season and it's time for a down

I guarantee we lose 24-17

one thing I've noticed about Dalton, he does a really good job of protecting himself.
changing to a running play on blitzes. doing check downs, throwing the ball at Andrew's back.

That much is true. Maybe this week he would be better off handing the ball to JJ to make sure he isn't hit after the fact.

I am so sick of hearing about JJ Watt

one of these days, when it's too late to matter, they will mostly likely finally blemish his name for using peds and/or steroids.

what can I say?

Kinda like when Brian Cushing was their best player, then he got busted, and now he sucks

Formula for victory:

1) Chaney guarantees a win
2) JBuck guarantees a loss
3) Kramer predicts a blowout loss, trashing Marvin and Dalton
4) Alf and Hokie don't show up on the gameday thread until the game is over

Now everyone get a shovel and go out there and do your job!
