NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Texans vs. Bengals
Texans vs. Bengals
CJ Stroud may have locked up OROY with his record-breaking performance last week. He lit up the Tampa defense en route to 470 yards and 5 touchdowns. His 14 to 1 TD to INT ratio is unheard of for a rookie. Against a somewhat average Bengal defense, he could have another big game. But no so fast. If you look at CJ’s home and road splits, there’s a big difference. At home CJ is averaging 9.3 yards per attempt. That number falls to 6.8 on the road. Additionally, he’s managed only three passing touchdowns on the road all season. On the other side, Joe Burrow and the Bengals are just now heating up. They’ve looked unstoppable since the Arizona game a few weeks back. Burrow has since been able to carve up the 49ers and Bills to the tune of 631 yards and five touchdowns. The difficulties that the Bengals’ offense faced early in the season as a result of Joe Burrow’s injury seem to be past them. They’re starting to look like the Super Bowl contender most expected. I’m typically not one to take a favorite of a touchdown or greater, but this is a situation where we’re fading a team coming off of a historic performance and backing a team that the sportsbook lines don’t seem to have caught up to yet. I love the Bengals here.
Pick: Bengals -7

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
