I just...can't.
a) Bengals have 10 days to prepare. Therefore the Texans' bye is a bit of a wash.
b) MNF at home.
c) Texans beat the Bucs, Titans, and Jags. That's not enough of a resume, considering the Bengals have beaten everyone they've played.
d) Tannehill went 19-20 just two weeks ago. Eleven yards per pass. Luck hung 362 yards on 'em. Alex Smith had 300, too. Now imagine Dalton.
e) The Texans set a franchise record last year with 34 takeaways. Right now they're minus-2 on the season, nine total. That's about what it'd take---sloppy football---for Cincinnati to stumble. Is Cincinnati playing careless this year?
