The Houston Texans look like they perhaps have a generational QB in C. J. Stroud. Stroud has a passer rating of 102.9 on the season and has tossed 14 TD passes to just one interception. The Texans are an under-rated 4-4 team as they head to Cincinnati who is 5-3. Joe Burrow has seen his numbers dive this season as his QB rating is 90 and has thrown just 12 TD passes, compared to 39 last season. His yards per attempt have dropped from 7.3 to 6.0. The Bengals are averaging under 20ppg. The Texans are 4-2 in their last six games reaching 30+ points in half of them. They have not lost any of their last six games by more than two points. This one is a lot closer than it looks. Make the play on Houston.
