2. The Texans have hung 31 on a Bengals D highly superior to NEs [granted 7 is due to INT return, but it's the first playoff game for the franchise and their 5th round rookie QB].

"Hung 31"? They got a freak pick-INT, a should've-been-a-pick by Cincy that was dropped, a blown coverage on one of the best WRs n the game, a late TD where Cincy clearly gave up and didn't even try to tackle... An offensive juggernaut under Yates they are not. I'd be shocked if, next week in Baltimore, the Texans get over 20. And in New England, even with the Patriots' weak D, I'd be surprised if they get over 30... and scoring 30 or less may not be enough.
Again, nothing against Houston, they have a lot of talent, but with Yates--and having to go on the road to Baltimore and then possibly New England--I don't see it happening for them this year.
Now, one scenario I
can see, is if Pitt wins tomorrow and then takes out New England. If the Texans can squeak out a win in Baltimore they would then host the AFCCG vs. Pittsburgh.
Basically, between New England, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Houston, there are many entertaining possibilities matchup-wise. (Now watch Denver **** it up by winning tomorrow, LOL...)
