Mallett future HoF'er
The Bengals are coming to Houston on Sunday. Huge home game. A chance to reach 6-5 and a winning record. Andy Dalton usually struggles every time he comes home. Johnathan Joseph needs to lock down A.J. Green but I feel good about the Texans chances. They usually beat the Bengals, home or road, playoffs or regular season. Everybody is healthy except Arian Foster (groin injury), but he may return against the Bengals.
Alfred Blue looks like he can start for a few teams so I'm not worried if Arian Foster can't go against the Bengals. The Texans defense is capable of shutting down the Bengals offense. The Texans offense, with Ryan Mallett taking over, will throw some new wrinkles out there. Hopefully the Bengals defense will be playing a guessing game all game long at NRG Stadium.
The Texans are only -2.5 and slightly favored at home over the Bengals. I thought it would be -6.5 or so given the Texans recent success against the Bengals but oh well. Las Vegas never learns. Apparently the Texans have to beat the Bengals for a 5th time in a row before people actually view them as a better team.
