Houston won its fourth straight after starting the season 0-3 and Deshaun Watson showed toughness in completing 12-of-24 for 139 yards and a touchdown despite playing with a bruised lung and injured ribs. The Texans also have a great opportunity to get the running game going against the Dolphins, who allowed 248 rushing yards against Detroit, which normally is one of the worst rushing teams in the NFL. The Houston defense also has stepped up the last three games as opponents have averaged only 12 points per game, including Sunday's 20-7 win at Jacksonville. Ryan Tannehill still is out for Miami and Brock Osweiler likely will get the start after throwing for 239 yards against the Lions. The Dolphins also lost wide receiver Albert Wilson to a hip injury and he is out for this game. The Dolphins started the season 3-0 and have lost three of four since and they are 1-7 ATS their last eight road games going back to last season. Miami is 4-9 ATS its last 13 games against teams with winning records and 5-17 ATS its last 22 on artificial turf. These two teams appear to be going in different directions, so lay the points with the Texans.
