Both of these teams come into this football game on losing streaks.  The Dolphins have lost all 4 of their football games by an average of 10.3 points per game and they have allowed 103 points in the last three games.  The Texans have lost two hard fought games against the Colts and the Falcons.

Look for the Dolphins to come out running the football as they will attempt to control the clock and keep their defense on the sideline.  Ronnie Brown will be the focus of the offense as he is off to a good start.  He has rushed for 311 yards (5.2 ypc) and he also has caught 20 passes for 248 yards (12.4 avg).  Look for Brown and linebacker DeMeco Ryans to have a lot of high impact collisions.  The Texans do have a solid run defense as they are only allowing 80.0 yards per game and 3.4 yards per carry.  The Texans are vulnerable to the passing game as they allow 229.5 yards passing per game so Trent Green should have some success as long as the Dolphins’ offensive line keeps the Texans out of the backfield. 

The Texans running backs have to be foaming at the mouth after watching game film of the Dolphins’ defense all week long.  The Dolphins allow 199.3 yards rushing per game and 4.9 yards per carry so far this season.  Ahman Green is iffy with a bad knee but even if he doesn’t play look for Ron Dayne to have a big game against the Dolphins.  The Dolphins pass defense is not that good either and QB Matt Schaub will come after them by throwing the ball deep to Andre Davis and short to Owen Daniels.

PREDICTION:  The Dolphins are one of the worst teams in the entire NFL and it will show again this week on the field.  Look for the Texans to defend the home turf and win this game by a touchdown.
