    Texans -3 and the over

    I'm really liking both of these plays but not seeing much talk about them. Any reason I should not hammer them?

    Thanks!

    When something seems too good to be true, it never is. Line stands at 3 and it's yelling for action on the Cowboys. I am also very tempted to take Cowboys but then again am scared just as I said, When something seems to be too good, it never is. All the best and hopefully whatever side you choose happens to be the winner

    Texans have a problem in pass defense (i know new defense yada yada) to me they are still horrid until proven otherwise.
    Dolphins cant dont and wont run so i just feel its a bad matchup.
    henne looked like he finally gets it
    texans dont play well outdoors on the road as well as they do in Reliant
    Our home field advantage is very underrated.
    we took out YEARS of frustration against a colts team starting a QB that was probably posting on this forum 3 weeks ago. SO WHAT
    Texans favored on the road is bad for the bankroll

    Full disclosure, Houston is my team, so maybe I'm biased. However, I also know them better than any other team in the league. I jumped on this line as soon as I saw it.

    Hernandez and Gronkowski combined for 13 catches 193 yards and 2 scores in Monday nights game. The middle of Miami's D was open all night long. Look for the Texans trio of Daniels, Dreesen, and Casey to make a lot of catches across the middle of the field out of a 2 or 3 TE set. Miami will not be able to play nickel, as the Texans will just dial up a running play for Foster, who should be back in the lineup this week, and Tate in relief work.

    As for the Texans on defense, they are much improved over last year. I know it was just Kerry Collins last week, but considering what he's done to us in the past, there was a marked improvement. Compare the 7 points they allowed to last season. Only once last year did they hold an opponent under 7 points (the Titans game where Rusty Smith was the QB). So they are definitely a step up from last year at the minimum. Their biggest weakness is against the inside run, unfortunately for the Dolphins they lost their 2 power backs in the offseason. I also expect Fasano to have a decent day against us, but if we can get pressure Henne can be rattled.

    The over is probably a safe bet, but I like the Texans TT Over better, just my 2 cents on that though. Final thought: The Texans are 5-0 SU all time vs. the Dolphins, and the road team is 4-1 ATS. The underdog is also 5-0 ATS, so take that for what it's worth. This is an improved Texans squad than the previous meetings in my opinion, so Texans -3 is my play.

    BOL in whatever you decide!!!

    Henne looked good against the Pats and the Texans gave up the most Pass yds/G last year on D in the regular season. Yes rank 32/32. So even though Foster is going to be healthy and the Texans have an overall edge I'm still up in the air on this one. Would like to stick it in a parlay. Anyone else Input ?

    Right now I like the Texans winning by 10.

    Houston also did a great job getting a pass rush in that game


    Miami has no run game at all and their offensive line did not impress me a bit in week 1, I think guys like JJ watt and Mario Williams will own this game at the line of scrimmage
