However the Texans haven't won since, so after defeats against Carolina, Indianapolis and Tennessee the Texans enter the playoffs on a three game skid.The Texans have a good chance of recording a first playoff victory too despite the run of losses. They have the 4rd best defence against the rush and the 3rd best pass defence and so the Bengals will have to pull out something special to beat them. The Texans are 3 point favourites on the spread and look a good bet at 5/6 despite their lengthy injury list. The injuries have cost them their top 2 quarterbacks amongst others but they were able to leave out some of their stars in week 17 and they should be raring to go.The Bengals have probably the most talked about wide receiver at the moment in Jerome Simpson following his forward somersault into the end zone against Arizona. Cincinnati only just scraped in following defeats for Denver and the Jets and will want to take full advantage of the life line they have been given and secure their first post season win in 21 years. Their game will hinge on the play of quarterback Andy Dalton and his favourite Target AJ Green. If they can get it together then an upset may be on the cards.This should be a tight defensive game with few points so have a look at the points spread, currently 38.5 and the under seems a safe bet at 10/11. The Bengals can challenge but in the end the superior Texans defence should see them through - covering the spread in the process. Houston won in Cincinnati in regular season play despite giving up 4 picks and couple that with the Bengals struggles against winning record teams (1-6) and the Texans should be going through.Best Bet: Under 38.5 points @ 10/11Worth a Punt: Houston to win by 7-12 points @ 5/1 Read our William Hill review Get your £25 free bet at William Hill now Like Like Post to wall 102 Reads All NFL News Recent NFL Articles Super Bowl Betting – New England 8/11 favourites03 Feb 2012William Hill make New England their slight favourites to win Sunday’s Super Bowl.
