Peter King has apparently picked us to win according to cnnsi.com by 1 point over the Texans. Says this game is a must win to prevent falling too far back in a good division. Thoughts about his score prediction?
 
well, since the 5 games houston beat us by is a total of 14 points, its not far-fetched a prediction. just surprised he picked us on the W.
 
IF PK picked us to win, that means Houston wins by 21. He is Omar Kelly-like in fortunetelling.

He usually goes against the Fins, so I'll take his prediction!
 
Miami wins by at least 14.

The defense will not be embarrassed again at home. Schaub isn't Brady. The Texans aren't going to run a hurry-up like the Patriots did and even if they do the Dolphins should be better prepared for it.

The new offense has another week under it's belt. Expect the o-line to play better and more fun from the playbook, especially since Thomas and Clay are back.

The Colts handed the Texans the game last week. That doesn't mean the Texans are a bad team but I think they are over-rated. I've never understood why they get so much love when every year they end up being just another average team.

It's a must win game for Miami. Lose this game and it could be a very long season. Unemployment doesn't pay as well as the NFL.
 
He is wrong, the Dolphins will win by more than one point.

That's what I'm talkin' about dino-buddy.

Peter King just made a typo and forgot to hit the 4 after the 1 when he was writing up his prediction. It's an understandable mistake.
 
Schaub is one of the least clutch QB's in the league, so i think your defense will be able to rattle him.

I'd be worried about Miami's oline going up against Wade's 3-4. right now I would say Miami's interior oline play is about the same as the Colts' and Houston was able to destroy them. JJ Watt showed why he was a top 10 pick and Williams looked great as a rush LB. I think Henne will need to rely on Bush to deal with all of the blitzes.
 
If we are winning by seven with less than 5 minutes... Houston by some holy divine miracl is going to win. You don't know how but you just know
 
I'm going to get slammed for saying this - but I have no doubt in my mind Miami will win this week. In fact, I think the victory will be by more than 10 points.

Miami, all things considered, went toe-to-toe with New England (offensively) the 99-yard TD notwithstanding. There is no way the defense doesn't play considerably better.

Stick Houston in the dark blue jerseys and let them sweat it out for a bit - Henne goes for 300 again and the D gets at least two turnovers.

Only on finheaven is losing by 14 points going toe to toe with a team. I mean u want to take out the 99 yard run for some reason, u cant just be selective about what plays u want to count and what u dont. This defense allowed the most yards in history againts us so of course the defense will be better but will they play good. people also are overrating the aj edds impact, i mean how much help was their te in stopping thier offense or even te.
 
I feel we either keep it close the entire game only for Houston to blow it open in the 4th and lose by 10+, or dominate most of the game only for Houston to somehow come back and win it. I don't see any scenario of us winning.. we have never beaten Houston and they are far better this year.
 
I feel good about our Wrs vs their secondary. No way Allen is covering Bess or Marshall in the slot. We have the advantage across the board. They don't have anyone who can consistently cover Marshall. He s a mismatch for even their best cb, Joseph. Jackson n Allen are not shutting down anyone. The question is can we protect Henne without having to max protect? Can Henne make good decisions vs a zone if thats what the texans choose to run. I have no doubt Henne will hurt them if they run man.
