NFL Wild Card Playoffs: Bengals vs. Texans Open Game Thread

This could end up being one of the better games from this weekend. The Texans, once thought to be an indestructible force, have shown themselves to be pretty human over the last month. The thought is that they may have peaked too early.

That being said, they are still a better team than the Bengals. Cincinnati lives and dies on the deep ball to A.J. Green. The Houston pass defense has struggled in recent weeks, but you better believe Wade Phillips will have a plan to take Green away. The Bengals are going to have to do something else in order to win this game, and I just don't think they will be able to do enough.

Prediction: Texans 24 Bengals 13

Use this thread to cheer for the Bengals. You can head over to Cincy Jungle for more Bengals info on this game.

I will post an open thread of the night game, Vikings vs. Packers, later on this evening.
