Dolphins vs. Texans Prediction:
I like the over 46.5 in this matchup. The Texans have struggled defensively all season, allowing 20+ points in 10 of their last 11 games. Last week they allowed 20 points to Mac Jones and the Jaguars and the week before was 32 points to Will Levis and the Titans. On top of that they have one of their star defenders sidelined with a suspension. The Dolphins have scored 32+ points in 3 of their last 4 games. The over has hit in 3 of their last 4 games. Meanwhile the over has hit in 2 of the last 3 for Houston. The Texans offense is ranked 11th scoring 23.7 ppg. Both teams should be able to move the ball and put points on the board.
Dolphins vs. Texans Prediction: Over 46.5
