Javonte Williams should probably go to jail. Brandon Aubrey can go with him for all I care. A taunting penalty leading to a missed extra point left us short by the hook last week but we are back with a brand new OctoPick. This week we will be dialing in on the Cincinnati Bengals as they head down to Houston, the “city by the bay.” The Bengals are coming off a solid win against the Bucs and should be poised for an offensive explosion against a Texans defense that appears to have regressed. Upon first look, I saw this game and thought it was Bengals no problem.
But then I ran the deep analytics.
My comprehensive and all knowing models revealed the fact that the Cincinnati Bengals are a poverty franchise and always have been. They needed roughly two thousand turnovers to beat the Bucs of the vaunted NFC South. Sure, the Texans defense did not look great against the Bills, but after Thursday night it’s apparent that the Bills’ offense is the real deal. I expect them to bounce back at home, and Stroud and Montgomery to keep the offense moving along. As a businessman, I know that the only two rules of business are to buy low and to sell high. This is a great spot to buy the Texans low and sell the Bungles high.
Official OctoPick: Houston Texans -2.5
