Bengals vs. Texans Prediction

Houston's defense was shredded by the Bills in Week 1, but I am holding strong on that unit as one of the very best in the league. They have an especially sizable mismatch up front against the Bengals OL (29th in pass block win rate Week 1), and despite a solid scoring effort against the Bills, I am not ready to proclaim the Texans an upper-half offense yet. That's especially true this week given that the Bengals defense showcased their talent upgrades in a strong showing against the Bucs, limiting the Bucs to 24th in EPA/play last week.
