Houston Texans vs Miami Dolphins
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Houston Texans vs Miami Dolphins is a cross-division AFC test that could swing the conference picture. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Houston Texans at 78% to Miami Dolphins's 22%, spread HOU -4.
Tactically, Houston Texans will want to lean on fierce pass rush to attack Miami Dolphins, whose toughness in cold is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Miami Dolphins's game-breaking speed could punish Houston Texans if offensive line goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.
Keep an eye on C.J. Stroud (QB) and Tua Tagovailoa (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Home field tilts the margin toward Texans, and in a game this close that edge matters.
