This Week in the AFC North... Revised,Balance of the Division Edition
-
Even in normal times Zombo has forgotten to crank up the thread , his thread, when a Thursday nite game involves one of our four. So imma give my man a leg up...
Got off to a reasonable start going 2-2 both straight up and vs. the spread in a pressure-packed, double-double Week 1. Now that we;'re warmed up let's see if we nail a three game Week 2 with one double... which we'll get to in a day or so. For now just focusing on tonite...
HOU @ CIN (-6.5) Thu 09-14 7:25 PM
Both teams stunk up their openers. HOU had the distractions of a 500-year, flood event. What was CIN's excuse? That they missed Burfect? Does he play Offense, too?
I said at the end of FA that CIN could be headed for our cellar. You can't lose your two best OL and operate an Offense that lacks elite skill players everywhere else. Just having AJ ain't enough. Then there's the D... a D that falls short of fearsome even if whole. A D whose main force got his ass suspended because he couldn't pass up a cheap in frickin' pre-season. Such a waste of talent... but that's their problem.
The Texans should settle in... at least on the D-side of the ball. They will miss Cushing and his apparently P.E.D. fueled play, but they were embarrassed last week by JAX. They owe Houston a positive distraction and all of Houston will be watching this one.
And on the O-side? Who knows? With three of three rostered TEs dinged up look for HOU to spread it out... wide... 4 wide. Then with Watson making his first start I'm looking for a dose of read-option early and often. Watson may run for more yards than he passes, but Miller will run for more yards than Watson.
I don't think this one is going to be pretty... or close...
Prediction: HOU 27 CIN 13
Hope everything is going well, Z... Thinkin' of you, buddy...

Hou: 17
Cin: 6
Cincinnati avoids the goose egg but doesn't make it to the end zone.
-
Going for Cinci here. Texans missing o lineman and two TE's, going to be tough for Watson to succeed in this situation
-
Think the bungles have rotated backs every play so far ?
-
Two horrible teams with HC's on borrowed time surely
-
Cincinnati will win.

Sweet we could move to 2nd place in the division if we can beat the Ravens on Sunday.

Wow. I underestimated how terrible that Bengals offense is.
AJ Green & Eifert- that's about it.

Even the one great catch by Green was in triple coverage and more often than not it's gonna be intercepted. And in the redzone he kept locked on Green in double coverage, never looking for a better alternative from the getgo. Looked like a rookie QB.
