This game pits two low-scoring teams against each other.  The Dolphins only average 12.0 points per game and the Texans only average 16.3 points per game.

Look for the Dolphins to come out running the football with Ronnie Brown (190 yards rushing) against the Texans who are allowing 163.0 yards rushing per game.  Daunte Culpepper should be licking his chops, as the Texans are allowing 74% of their opponents passes to be completed.  Chris Chambers should have a huge game against this secondary.

The Texans should go after the Dolphins secondary right at the start of the game.  Andre Johnson (309 yards rec.) and Eric Moulds (154 yards rec.) should be able to get open against a Fins defense that allows a 93.1 QB rating against.  The Texans haven’t run well, but always start the game trying.  If they throw the ball 40+ times, they will have a shot at winning this football game.

The Dolphins should win this game, but I have a feeling it will be close.

The defense carried the Dolphins to their first victory of the season over the hapless Tennessee Titans.  The rn defense, which had been having problems so far this season, played well.  The Titans only had 62 yards rushing on 22 carries (2.8 ypc).  The Titans did net 254 yards passing, but the Dolphins intercepted 2 passes off Kerry Collins.  Zach Thomas had 9 tackles and an interception.  LB Channing Crowder had 8 tackles and DT Keith Traylor had 3 tackles and 2 sacks.

Duante Culpepper completed 17 of 26 passes for 168 yards and rushed for a TD.  RB Ronnie Brown carried the load on offense, toting the ball 26 times for 90 yards (3.5 ypc).  WR Wes Welker had 5 catches for 59 yards.  Chris Chambers had 4 catches for 39 yards and one carry for 39 yards.

While hardly impressive, a win is a win.

Everyone knew the Titans weren’t going to be good this year, but many had the Dolphins going to the Super Bowl this season.

Kerry Collins needs to find his WRs Drew Bennett (11 rec., 151 yards) and David Givens against a Dolphin secondary that is allowing a 111.8 QB rating against.  The Titans also need to pick one running back and give him the ball.  The Titans would be smart to run the ball and keep their defense off the field.  The Dolphins allow 125.5 yards rushing per game, so Chris Brown or LenDale White could have some success.

The Titans defense is allowing 443 yards per game.  Daunte Culpepper just needs to make better decisions with the ball and quit fumbling.  Ronnie Brown should have a break-out game against the Titans defense.  Culpepper should be looking for Randy McMichael more on short passes to prevent taking so many sacks.  If the line holds up in pass protection, Chris Chambers will have a huge game against the porous Titans’ secondary.

I look for the Dolphins to blow out the Titans in this game.
