Super Bowl betting

With the Texans having significant accidents to quarterbacks Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart and the Cincinnati Bengals losing every single game against playoff caliber squads, both squads have still had their fair share of struggles this season. Both quarterbacks were lost for the season with their accidents and rookie T.J. Yates has gotten control. Houston has also viewed major accidents to linebacker Mario Williams and also wide receiver Andre Johnson. The 2 squads have already played each other throughout the regular season and the Texans made a last effort comeback attempt with a game winning touchdown pass captured by wide receiver Kevin Walters with just a few seconds left on the clock.

Sportsbook

The Cincinnati Bengals are going to have to try and stick with what has worked for them this year which has been their extraordinary run game with running backs Cedric Benson and Bernard Scott. If they might accomplish this they might have the advantage and ultimately wipe out a playoff team and move forward past the 1st round for the 1st time in only over 20 years.

This may boil down to the wire yet again as it's destined to be a close one. The Texans are slight favorites even with many accidents to a lot of key star players. The over/under for total in total points for this particular game is 38. The line is set with the Texans as 3 point favorites at their home turf to the long shot Cincinnati Bengals.
