It may only be Week 2, but could we be seeing an AFC Championship Game preview? Whether you think that’s what the Houston Texans hosting the Cincinnati Bengals is or not, seeing Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and more take on arguably the best defense in football is as good as it gets. Actually, we can make it even better. That’s thanks to our best Bengals vs. Texans predictions for Week 2!

🔥 Bengals vs. Texans Predictions for NFL Week 2, Sunday, 9/20

We had new Houston RB David Montgomery scoring a TD on Sunday, and not only did he come through for our NFL expert picks, but he also ended up scoring THREE times! Now facing a Cincinnati defense that has been ridiculed for several seasons now, surely that’s all we need to pick for our Bengals vs. Texans predictions…right?

Well, while their defense still wasn’t elite against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1, they were clutch with turnovers to help come away with a win. Speaking of defenses, Houston’s is considered the best in the league by many, and they ended up giving up 36 in their Week 1 loss. Of course, Josh Allen is just different.

That said, we still have Burrow to Chase to worry about here, so will the Houston defense be exploited again? Let’s see what we’re going with for the best bet from our top Bengals vs. Texans predictions for Week 2!

🏅 Bengals vs. Texans Expert Pick: Houston -2.5 (-122 at Courtside)

As you can see, we aren’t expecting Joe Burrow to account for four touchdowns like Josh Allen did. Actually, even if he does, we still don’t trust this Cincinnati defense to handle the task. That’s because while they got the win over Tampa Bay, we can’t expect timely turnovers to take over and ruin our Bengals vs. Texans predictions.

The addition of David Montgomery was clearly a huge one, and while facing the Buffalo defense is solid to pad stats, so is the Cinci D. We also love a healthy Nico Collins, so with all that said, if you just want to take over 46.5 points, that’s a worthwhile approach as well. That said, we still have it leading to a Houston victory by a field goal or more.

That’s exactly what they did when they last played, which was indeed with C.J. Stroud and Joe Burrow under center. Both QBs threw for 347+ yards, and because it didn’t come through this past Sunday, Ja'Marr Chase scoring as he did in the prior meeting is all but a guarantee. Even still, that doesn’t mean an upset.

Along with back-to-back home games to start the season, we’re locking in Houston -2.5 (-122 at Courtside) as the best bet from our Bengals vs. Texans predictions for Week 2.
