Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins - 11/27/22 NFL Picks and Prediction
The Houston Texans will play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
The Houston Texans are 1-8-1 this season after they lost to the Washington Commanders by a score of 23-10 in their last game. Houston was out gained by a total of 344-148 and turned the ball over two times in the loss. The Houston offense is averaging 15.9 points per game with 192.2 passing yards per game and 93.7 rushing yards per game. Kyle Allen will be making his first start of the season at quarterback for Houston after the Texans benched Davis Mills. Dameon Pierce has rushed for 780 yards and three scores, while Brandin Cooks has caught 39 passes for 461 yards and one touchdown for Houston. The Houston defense is giving up 23 points per game and 389.6 yards per game.
The Miami Dolphins are 7-3 this season after they defeated the Cleveland Browns by a score of 39-17 in their last game. Miami gained 491 total yards and went 6-11 on third down attempts in the win. The Miami offense is averaging 25.2 points per game with 293.8 passing yards per game and 97.7 rushing yards per game. Tua Tagovailoa has thrown for 2,265 yards, 18 touchdowns, and three interceptions for the Dolphins this season. Raheem Mostert (questionable) has rushed for 543 yards and three touchdowns, while Tyreek Hill has caught 81 passes for 1,148 yards and four scores for Miami. The Miami defense is allowing 24.1 points per game and 356.7 yards per game.
Houston is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week. The under is 9-3 in Houston’s last 12 road games. Miami is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 November games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. The under is 4-1 in Miami’s last 5 home games. The home team is 4-0 ATS in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings.
Miami comes into this game on a four game winning streak and has scored 31 points or more in three straight games. Houston has really struggled on offense and hasn’t scored more than 17 points in their last four games. Houston is making a quarterback change, but I don’t see how that will make much of a difference. I like the Dolphins here.
