The Times’ Sam Farmer predicts the Bengals will defeat the Texans 21-17 on Thursday
NFL Thursday night
HOUSTON (0-1)
AT CINCINNATI (0-1)
TV: NFL Network, 5:15 PDT
Line: Bengals by 6 ½.
Over/under: 38.
Sam Farmer’s pick: Deshaun Watson’s ankle is sturdy enough to make his starting debut. The Bengals are due to bounce back, though, because they aren’t going to play that poorly two weeks in a row. Bengals 21, Texans 17
