Game Prediction
Cincinnati’s defense is allowing 5.9 yards per play, the second-most in the NFL. Their recent success has been on the back of an NFL-best +9 turnover margin. That number is +7 during Cincinnati’s four-game winning streak.
Guess which statistic that the Houston Texans lead the NFL in? The correct answer is giveaways, as nobody has fewer than the Texans offense’s five. If their ball security endures, this battle will likely come down to who has the ball last. Take the Texans to cover on the road as the best play from this game.
Final Pick
Houston Texans +6
