The Houston Texans (1-8-1) visit the Miami Dolphins (7-3) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Texans vs. Dolphins odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
After a 23-10 loss last Sunday to the Washington Commanders as 3-point underdogs, coach Lovie Smith was non-committal about QB Davis Mills and if he would continue to start for the Texans. With Houston firmly in control of the No. 1 draft pick in 2023, it looks like the team may be ready to select another signal caller. With Miami leading the AFC East and QB Tua Tagovailoa playing inspired football under coach Mike McDaniel, this looks like another game the Texans will lose on their way to the draft.
The Dolphins trade for WR Tyreek Hill has indeed brought out the best of Tagovailoa, who has taken a step up in his accuracy and his command of the team while Hill leads the league in receptions (81) and receiving yards (1,148). The' addition of DE Bradley Chubb from Denver at the trade deadline has helped the defense become a better unit as well as Miami tries to beat out the Buffalo Bills in the division race.
