Cincinnati Bengals: 2016 Season Predictions 1.0

Cincinnati Bengals @ Houston Texans

It seems like the Houston Texans and the Bengals are slowly becoming a rivalry. Yet, it’s a matchup the Houston Texans have won more times than not. Houston beat us in two consecutive playoff games as well as last years primetime game.

The first Bengals loss came at the hands of Houston last season and perhaps another loss will come by them this year. The primetime defeat could come, after a tough battle against Pittsburgh. the Bengals could be wiped out.

It also doesn’t help that Houston is loaded, compared to last year. During the offseason, the Texans brought in Lamar Miller, who I think is one of the best running backs not talked about. They  also brought in Brock Osweiler to give Deandre Hopkins a reliable arm. Lastly, they drafted Will Fuller and Braxton Miller to add to Hopkins, Jaelen Strong and Cecil Shorts.

Houston is going to be difficult for the Bengals to handle, Cincinnati is in for a tough game.

Prediction: Houston Wins
