00:00
Let's get to another good quarterback matchup though. And that's cj stroud against to a tongue of ilo. I think truly or to a
00:06
Perception wise this has been his best year as a pro
00:10
It would be I I think close to consensus now that if you would did not get injured
00:15
This would be a playoff team in miami
00:16
Just yeah considering what the record is and was not when to was gone and who the opponents were
00:22
Certainly a lot of winnable games that were dropped
00:25
But for miami, the door is not closed. They have a
00:29
A stretch of schedule here that I think pre-season
00:32
Presented a lot more difficult than it actually is now supposed to be at houston, right?
00:39
Oh, wow, texans division favorites. You can tell this number in spots under a field goal next week. They'll host the niners
00:45
They'll be booked as favorites in that game. They're going to close out the jets
00:48
They'll be booked as favorites in that game. Those are two spots that pre-season they were likely looking to catch points
00:54
But lisi
00:55
It is likely all for not if they cannot pull off a small upset here today on the texans
01:02
I think this miami team may need to win out
01:05
In order to crash the afc playoffs here, which means they need it today
01:10
Yeah, they do need it and look at what they did last week again
01:13
They trailed for much of that game against the new york jets. They pull it out 32 to 26
01:17
We saw tyree kill finally get involved consistently in terms of the offense
01:21
115 yards and a touchdown two with rows for 331
01:25
But i'll say this kevin in order for miami to win this game on the road in houston against an above average
01:32
Defense a defensive minded head coach and an offense that loves to run the football with joe mixon
01:38
They're gonna have to run the football effectively and that is the concern I have with miami big picture
01:43
That is the concern and there's always been donnie the weakness of why miami can't win on the road against better teams
01:50
And can't win in the playoffs and I don't think it changes today
01:53
They might put up points and this game might sail through the total but in the end i'm laying it with cj straub
01:58
They're four and two at home. I think that they have the better rushing attack and their defense is much better
02:04
Especially in the front seven i'm laying it with houston
02:06
Yeah, some of the games we've talked about are interesting too because again it does raise an eyebrow
02:10
Why are we only looking at two and a half points here as a favorite for houston at home against miami?
02:15
And also if you take a look at the philadelphia eagles tickets going in the opposite direction toward the steelers
02:19
If we even talked about the detroit game at minus two and a half at home minus two
02:22
Tickets going in the opposite direction for the bills
02:24
You're getting that same feel today from the miami game
02:27
If we look at the and again the mo teams
02:29
You can't line up and play the kansas city chiefs and the eagles every week
02:32
We get that but we saw them on monday night football primetime right on this desk actually surprise
02:36
And go on the road and win a game against the los angeles rams
02:39
I thought the rams would beat them
02:40
But after that they beat the raiders who stink they beat new england who stinks they lost by double digits on the road to green
02:46
Bay who's a good football team and last week against the jets who are dead and buried and stink
02:50
They were on the ropes in that game and quite frankly a couple miracles at the end of the game
02:53
Which gave the dolphins the win?
02:55
How long can you outlast that now understand the concept of cj stroud is a very good quarterback 15 touchdowns nine interceptions this year
03:01
It hasn't been good enough, but I look at that joe and I keep it simple
03:04
Houston's at home rested and ready here need this game just as much as the dolphins to try to stay in that race
03:09
In their division and also try to get better seating. I'll lay the two and eight points today kevin
03:14
Yeah, I think look you can get threes out there as well. I was tempted by miami catching the field goal
03:19
I think if it was three and a half, I would have had no choice but to play miami at that number there
03:23
But I don't blame you one bit drs. I think what's tougher?
03:26
Houston, this is the second season now in a row of this where
03:30
Every week you pick your head up and like were they loose this week?
03:32
Like it's just non-stop the injury bug jalen petrie now
03:36
Head to the ir who've been very strong for them within their secondary and I think that's
03:40
One of the odd spots where we get this houston team donnie and you look at the
03:44
the recent sample, you know size for the it's
03:47
It's very tough to gauge right? Yeah that thursday nighter against the jets where I know you were all over a good spot for the
03:53
Jets. Yeah, the jets get it done
03:55
Good spot or not. You look back like man. You should not be losing to the jets if you're a really good team
04:00
They played the detroit lions and it's like
04:03
Yes, they should have beat detroit
04:04
But if you lose a game where the opponent opposing quarterback throws five interceptions, I don't I don't like that from you. Yeah, right
04:11
They smashed dallas. Okay, cool. We got it. That's great
04:14
They lose to the tennessee titans
04:16
They barely beat the jacksonville jaguars right in a game where they took out trevor lawrence within that football game there the houston
04:23
Results we spend a lot of time
04:27
Critiquing and I think rightfully kansas city right because of who they are
04:32
The texans we don't spend as much time on but
04:35
When we get when because it would be surprising we don't break break down a texans playoff game
04:39
Yeah, we're gonna look at those results donnie and go
04:42
This isn't a very good football team. That's what we're getting from them at least
04:45
No, you are getting that right now
04:46
And it is up to cj straub because we got so spoiled last year with the game
04:49
He can play that you expected on a year-to-year basis a little bit down but still winning football games
04:53
Which is good and you're right if i'm betting the dolphins today and he said donna give me one prop
04:57
It's got to be on tyrica on the outside if he doesn't explode today against those weak safeties as kevin talks injured
05:02
I don't think they can do well
