With the Texans having significant injuries to qbs Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart and the Bengals losing every single game versus playoff quality squads, both squads have still had their fair share of struggles this season. Both qbs were lost for the season with their injuries and rookie T.J. Yates has gotten control. Houston has also seen key injuries to linebacker Mario Williams and wide receiver Andre Johnson. The 2 squads have already confronted each other throughout the regular season and the Texans made a last effort comeback attempt with a match winning td pass caught by wide receiver Kevin Walters with just a few seconds left on the clock.

Super Bowl odds

The Bengals will need to try and stick to what has worked for them this year which has been their extraordinary run game with running backs Cedric Benson and Bernard Scott. If they can achieve this they could have the edge and at last defeat a playoff squad and progress past the first round for the first time in only over 20 years.

This may boil down to the wire yet again as it’s going to be a close one. Even with a number of injuries to several key star players, the Texans are slight favorites. The over/under for total total points for this particular game is 38. The line is established with the Houston Texans as 3 point favorites at their home field to the longshot Bengals.
