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.

Pro Picks
Houston at Cincinnati
It has been a long time coming, but Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton appears to be taking the next step. He has teased Bengals fans for the last couple of years showing flares of brilliance, but has not found the consistency to move into the next level. And subsequently, his Bengals are 8-0 for the first time ever. Brian Hoyer doesn't get a lot of ink, but many would not believe that his last 32 NFL starts has seen his team average 24.6 points per game, more than the 23.7 points per game the Bengals have scored in the last 72 games started by Andy Dalton. The problem this year for Houston is a defense that is allowing 21.2 points per game. Those 32 starts by Hoyer have led to a 20-12 mark to the OVER. Under Dalton, the Bengals have been very offensive when they are heavy chalk as they have averaged 34.1 points per game as a favorite from -7 to -14, with the average total points coming in at 54 points per game. Make the play on the OVER.
