The Houston Texans enters this week's game on Monday Night Football fresh off of a long 15 day layoff, having won their last time out on November 1st over Tennessee then going into their BYE week. With the extra week to rest and also prepare, there should be no excuses for the Texans to come out strong in front of the country on MNF as a huge underdog to boot. The Texans will have to try and keep the Bengals pass rush off of Hoyer all game. Historically, the Texans have had the Bengals number in head-to-head matchups. Houston had won five straight meetings with Cincinnati from 2008 to 2013 before the Bengals finally broke the string in last year's game, 22-13. With 15 days to prepare for this one, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Texans come out of the gate strong in this game and cover the double digit spread.
