Hope For A First Round Victory?

Bill Barnwell predicts a Bengals victory on Saturday:
If we could be sure that Andre Johnson was going to show up and play like the real Andre Johnson, it would probably be enough to swing this game toward the Texans. After their bye week, though, the Texans faced a group of six teams that finished with a record of 41-55 and went 3-3 while being outscored by four points. Too much is often made about the idea that teams need to be "hot" and have momentum heading into the playoffs, but there's little indication that this Texans team much resembles the unit that beat up on the Steelers in Week 4. Cincinnati 13, Houston 10.
Gotta like that.  It's been a long time since the Bengals have won a playoff game.  Well, actually, it will have been 21 years ago tomorrow.  Glad to know that a child born the day of that victory will be able to legally drink for the game Saturday.
