The Bengals are entering this game with a 5-3 record overall and they have a 0-2 record in their divisional games too. They are 3-1 in their home games, 2-2 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against the Buffalo Bills 24-18. Joe Burrow was the starting QB and he completed 31/44 passes for 348 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Joe Mixon led the team in rushing yards with 37 and 1 TD. Tee Higgins led the receivers with 110 receiving yards on 8 receptions. Mike Hilton led the defense in that game with 10 solo tackles and 0 assisted tackles while B.J. Hill led the defense in sacks with 1. Cam Taylor-Britt came away with the only interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Bengals listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals are 5-3 overall this season and after having a really rough start to the year, they have looked a lot better in their games lately. They are starting to roll over teams now as Burrow is healthy once again and they will be looking to roll over another team here that they are much better than. The Texans are 4-4 overall this season and have been a big surprise with CJ Stroud playing so well, but now the injuries are starting to pile up on this team and the Texans are already lacking a ton of talent and depth. They looked great in their win against the Bucs last week but the Bengals have a much better team in every respect and they are going to deliver a dose of reality to Stroud and the Texans here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.
