Texans vs. Bengals, Odds, NFL Week 10 Picks & NFL Player Props 11/12/23

⭐ Bengals -6.5 (-115) at BetMGM

The recent away-game defeats suffered by the Texans are particularly disconcerting given the level of the competition they faced. 

Their offense was underwhelming, only mustering a total of 32 points across both games against the Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons — teams not considered to be among the league's elite. 

In contrast, when they matched up against the Baltimore Ravens in their season opener, they were handed a 25-9 loss. 

Considering the form of the Cincinnati Bengals, who have been on a streak of strong performances, there's a significant possibility that the Texans are heading towards another loss, potentially by a margin of double-digits.

After the drama of last weekend, I'm predicting a reality check for the Texans so take the Bengals at -6.5

⭐ Texans Under 20.5 (-110) at FanDuel

Amid their impressive four-game winning streak, the Cincinnati Bengals' defense has risen to the occasion, showcasing their strength and coordination. 

Their recent performances have been particularly notable; they managed to contain the Buffalo Bills to just 18 points in Week 9 and restricted the high-powered offense of the San Francisco 49ers to a mere 17 points the previous week. 

Remarkably, during this winning stretch, the Bengals have not allowed any team to breach the 20-point mark.

On the flip side, the Houston Texans have displayed significant offensive struggles, particularly evident in their away games. 

Their offensive line has faltered, with the team failing to surpass the 19-point threshold in three of their four road encounters. 

This lack of offensive firepower is a critical factor contributing to their dismal performances when they're not playing at home.

⭐ Joe Burrow OVER 281.5 Yards (-105) at Draftkings

Now that Joe Burrow has recovered from his ankle injury, the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive game has significantly improved. 

Burrow's initial four games post-injury were modest, yielding just two touchdown passes and falling short of 225 passing yards in three games. His mobility in the pocket was notably hampered by his injury, contributing to these lackluster statistics.

However, Burrow's performance in the subsequent four matches tells a different tale. Coinciding with the team's winning streak, he has thrown for 10 touchdowns and has achieved over 280 passing yards in three contests. 

His prowess was particularly evident in Week 9, when he dominated the Buffalo Bills, throwing for an impressive 348 yards and against one of the weakest defenses in the NFL, he could go close to posting similar numbers.
