Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 12 matchup

The Miami Dolphins (7-3) look to continue rolling against the Houston Texans (1-8-1) on Sunday afternoon. The Dolphins return from their bye week with a chance to solidify their lead in the AFC East.

Dolphins receiving duo Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle put pressure on the best of opposing defenses. This week, they get a Texans secondary that is allowing 210.7 passing yards per game. Hill is putting together another All-Pro season with 81 receptions for 1,148 yards and four touchdowns.

The Texans are struggling to score points. Houston has been outscored 131-73 during a five-game losing streak. A change is on the horizon as the Texans will turn to quarterback Kyle Allen under center this week.
