Houston Texans are headed down to Miami to take on a Dolphins team coming off a bye. Miami will be looking to maintain their tie with Buffalo for the division lead.
Head Coach Mike McDaniel had an extra week to prepare for this game, and in a press conference this week, a reporter asked him not about the time off, and McDaniel had a heartfelt response.
McDaniel is not like most NFL coaches, he's excited, transparent, and sometimes vulnerable, and while some may scoff at his style, it seems to be working as Miami enter play this week with a record of 7 - 3.
Texans vs Dolphins Betting Odds
A great measure of a coach is how he does coming off a bye. What a leader does with an extra week of preparation can say a lot. So while Mike McDaniel comes up against one of the worst teams in the league, fans will expect not only a win but also a cover. This is no easy task, given that Miami are two touchdown favorites.

Texans vs. Dolphins Best Picks
With the extra rest, Miami's offense should be firing on all cylinders, so while there are no offense prop bets for the Phins, the smart money is always on Waddle and Hill.
Jaylen Waddle Over 75.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Texans vs. Dolphins Prediction
The Texans have been just horrid this season, as they only have one win and are currently looking at the number one overall draft pick. No further tanking will be necessary for Houston, as they are two games worse off than every other team in the league.
While a fifteen-point victory is a huge ask from this Miami team, they are in the top six for scoring, and Houston have struggled to put up points all season long. So there is a good chance Miami will only need 21 points to cover the spread.
Miami -14 (-115)
