    Are the Texans -1.5 @ Miami too good to be true?
    Seems like it. Texans win by 27 and the Dolphins lose by 14. Houston looked great on both offense and defense. I know it's an away game, but is Miami really that good of a home team? No, they're terrible! They were 1-7 last year at home.

    So what's the catch here?

    It's down to -1.5. I swear it was just at -3.

        -3 Houston unless your wasting $$$ and buying points..

        Week 1 Houston Played Indy (SCRUBS)

        Week1 Fins played the Pats (Front Runner to make it to Super Bowl)

        So yes Houston Looked good on paper and yes Miami looked bad. But Look at there opponents Worst and Best.. I would not use this as a motive to bet this game.

        FOSTER Playing? If He is, How Limited?

        Miami was garbage last week, but what did we see. Well Chad Henne is certainly in sync with Brandon Marshall. There field chemistry looked 100 Times better then from last year. Henne had 400+ Passing yards, 30-49, 2TD... I know the Pats don't have the best pass defnese, but didn't the Texans have the worst in the league last year, or close to it. If the line slips to +3.5 or +4 Im on Miami on this one. +3=No Play either side for me..

        BOL to you

            Can't really compare last years Texans defense to this year with the new 3-4 and Wade.


            I agree though that Chad Henne looked pretty good Monday night.

                      I would take MIA and the points myself as I thought they were pretty good against NE. However, I don't think they're that good of a team and their home record trends are an issue so I'm off entirely.

                        Houston has won nothing ever. Not sure when they became super bowl champs. Miami +3 was the play, I teased them to +9 with the Saints earlier. Good luck!

                          1-7 is still terrible regardless of schedule. if you have 6 wins on the road you should be able to get more than 1 win at home.


                          anyways, i do like miami in this game.

                                  Last year the Texans and Dolphins took turns burning me. I don't know who to trust this year.

                                        Are you all being serious? Did anyone actually see Houston play last week? I'm guessing most of you watched Baltimore Pitt for the early game on CBS. If so, you missed a great performance by Houston. Really clicking on both sides of the ball. Wade Phillips has done a number on their defense, and of course Schaub-Foster-Johnson are 3 of the best players in the league.

                                        This coming from a Cowboys fan who really doesn't care much for the Texans.
