Cash That Ticket - Tuesday January 13th

Munaf Manji talks betting for Tuesday Jan 13. The Houston Texans closed Super Wild Card Weekend with a dominant 30 to 6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night, a game defined far more by defensive control than offensive rhythm. Houston’s defense scored twice in the fourth quarter, turning a competitive contest into a rout and pushing the Texans into the divisional round. The Steelers managed only two field goals, while their offense struggled to sustain drives or protect the football against relentless pressure. C J Stroud finished 21 of 32 for 250 yards with one touchdown, but the stat line masked a turbulent night that included multiple fumbles and an interception. Despite those mistakes, Houston’s defense consistently erased momentum and ultimately decided the outcome. Christian Kirk emerged as the offensive standout for the Texans, hauling in eight receptions for 144 yards and a 46 yard touchdown, providing the lone passing score of the game. On the ground, Woody Marks and Nick Chubb combined for 160 rushing yards, with Marks breaking through repeatedly as the Steelers’ defense failed to contain the run. Pittsburgh’s offense never found an answer, as Aaron Rodgers was held to 146 passing yards, sacked four times, and finished with a QBR of 14.3. A strip sack returned for a touchdown and a late pick six sealed the result, fueling speculation about whether this marked the final game of Rodgers’ career and raising broader questions about the Steelers’ direction moving forward. Houston now advances to face New England, with attention turning to the health of Nico Collins after he exited with a concussion. Around the NBA, the Utah Jazz earned a road win in Cleveland behind 32 points from Keyonte George, while the Pacers edged the Celtics at home and Philadelphia handled Toronto in a game highlighted by a late Kyle Lowry appearance. Sacramento outscored the Lakers 124 to 112 as Malik Monk delivered a sharp shooting performance, continuing Los Angeles’ defensive struggles. The Clippers also picked up a home victory over Charlotte with strong nights from Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. As the calendar moves deeper into January, both leagues showcased familiar themes, defense dictating postseason football outcomes and midseason NBA games exposing teams still searching for consistency.
