Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans NFL Tips


The Miami Dolphins will keep their slim hopes of a playoff berth in the hands of their opponents as they get the victory against the Texans on Monday (AEDT).

Houston’s season is beginning to unravel and the hits, sacks and hurries on C.J. Stroud are taking their toll on the second-year quarterback the longer the season goes on. The Texans have lost their past two games at home and failed to impress in Jacksonville before their bye week with just a three-point victory. 

Miami on the other side of things have been getting better as the season goes on and their offence is firing at the moment led by Tua Tagovialoa who has been electric (in warm weather) finding his receivers down field. 

Expect Miami to continue to run up the points on the Texans while their defence continues to put poor C.J. Stroud under duress all game.

Miami Dolphins Form


Miami’s chances of a playoff spot this season are just as much in the hands of others as it is in their own with a 6-7 record and three teams ahead of them in the pecking order for a wildcard spot. 

Despite winning 4 of their last 5 with their only loss coming in minus temperatures in Green Bay, the Dolphins' slow start to the year hurt them and has put them in a position that they cannot come back from.

The Miami offence has come alight with the return of Tua Tagovailoa averaging 27.71 points per game in their past 7 matches. The Dolphins QB averages 272.9 yards per game this season, which is the second-most of any quarterback in the NFL.

Houston Texans Form


Houston are coming off a well needed bye where they have hopefully focused on finding the form that saw them as an outside contender for the SuperBowl last season.

The second-year blues has certainly hit the Texans with C.J. Stroud unable to capture the flair he had in his rookie season, but to his defence his o-line hasn’t done him any favours. Stroud is the second-most sacked quarterback in the NFL and has been hurried 15 more times than any other QB in the league, which is just under 25% more. 

Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik is also in his second year in the job and needs to find a way to get this Texans offence going consistently. 

The Houston defence has been consistent enough, despite having to deal with poor field position often. They rank 5th in the NFL in opposition yards (308.5/game) ranking 7th in opposition passing yards and 10th in opposition rushing yards, however, they have been susceptible to big plays down field that have hurt them.
