As we did not have an improved K Jackson or Bradie James at all.

The Bengals are a better team than they were going into last year's playoffs, and the Texans are a worse team than last year's playoffs. The math is simple. Despite that, I still think the playoffs mirror last year, we win the WC game and lose the next one.

If the Texans lose this game though, rest assured there will be nothing major done in the off season except the Chronicle reports of deep soul searching by the coaching staff. Then next year, we'll have the same coaching staff back, another good draft, and the same old **** repeats itself.

If the Texans win this game the Bengal fans will be marking all future Texan games on their calendar. And the rest of my paragraph above will still apply after we lose our first road game in the playoffs.

My gut based on recent games says something like;

Bengals 28 - Texans 9

My maxed out homerism/trying to be a sunshine pumper still based on recent games would be;

Bengals 6 - Texans 17.....this offense has just blown massive donkey balls so this win would reflect that and a big day on D.

Want to see my prediction if we face NE lol?

Actually JJ Watt really came on late last year and heck, scored a friggin td in that game. I am really confused by the Bradie James comment.

Did Gronk play against Baltimore, Arizona, Seattle, & San Francisco?

For those expecting some offensive explosion, it aint gonna happen. This will be one of the best best front 7 we have played all year. The absolute WORST matchup for our struggling offense right now. Unless we go quick strike air it out offense...... JJ Watt and Antonio Smith are going to basically have to win this game for us.

Still sticking with 27-12 (no offensive tds).... Bengals win.

[Vinny]

We have to get the lead or we are doomed. The Bengals sack/get after the QB better than all but one team in the league.

[Señor Stan]

I've predicted wins every time so....

Bengals 24
Texans 16

I think Kubiak is going to be stubborn and take the "we just need to do what we do" philosophy. One and done.

[Texan_Touchdown]

I think Texans win. By how much i don't know.

[HOU-TEX]

Earl Campbell will be the honorary team captain for Saturdays game. Per Scurf's tweet

[Speedy]

Vegas has the Texans favored by 4½, money line -210 Texans, +175 Bengals.

In last year's game, Vegas had the Texans favored by 3 and a money line of -170 Texans, +150 Bengals

Though it doesn't mean jack, Vegas seems to think we have a better shot of beating the Bengals this year than they did last year.

Texans 23
Bengals 20

JJ Watt and K Jax are bad examples as they were 2 of the better performers on defense IN THE PLAYOFFS last year.

We get bounced by the Bengals.

And the stadium is like Mitt Romney's "after party" back on November 22 around 10 p.m. that night.

I don't think the earth could withstand the output of NE's offense vs. the Texans.

[Rey]

I keep going back and forth with this game. I just don't have a good feel for this game.

[since02]

TEXANS get one TD in garbage time fashion.

Bungles-24
TEXANS-13

I just don't see it, the way this offense has been playing lately.
Dalton and Green shred the secondary and make the ILB core look like a high school squad

[Texan_Bill]

Anything less than 31-17 Texans would be a complete dissappointment and the end of an otherwise promising season. I say this not to disrespect the Bengals (they are a better team than we faced last season), but because of our own failures.
