AFC

9-7 Cincinnati Bengals (6th Seed) at 10-6 Houston Texans (3rd Seed)
Vegas Odds: Houston -4

This is my Upset Special of the Wild Card Weekend. I can see the Bengals overtaking the Texans in this one since Houston limped into the playoffs, after securing the division title in the AFC South, by losing their last 3 games including a 16-19 decision to the league worst 2-14 Colts in Indianapolis in week 16. The matchup could feature the first ever head-to-head showdown of starting rookie quarterbacks going against one another in the history of the NFL, if T.J. Yates is healthy enough to start for the Texans versus Andy Dalton for the Bengals.
