5 Bold Predictions For Texans vs. Dolphins On NFL Week 7

Houston Texans — Week 7 is going to be very tough for the Houston Texans as they're on a collision course with an inspired Miami Dolphins team. A couple of weeks ago this looked to be a “get back on track” game for Houston, but with all the injuries and the semi one-dimensional offense, Houston could easily travel back to Texas late Sunday with a 2-5 record. Here are five bold predictions for the events to come against the Fins in Miami.

Jarvis Landry — There is no secret that the Texans give new meaning to struggling on special teams coverage. Jarvis Landry is a stick of dynamite waiting to explode at any moment in a game. One bright spot, though, is special teams standout Charles James is back on the squad, but his lightning quickness and instincts might not be enough to keep Landry out of the end zone.

Cameron Wake and Ndamukong Suh — It was only a matter of time before a fire was lit under this Dolphins defense. The Idea of J.J. Watt and Vince Wilfork was intriguing during preseason, but Cameron Wake and Ndamukong Suh make for a different type of chaotic combo. Look for these guys to do anything and everything possible to impose their will on this predictable Houston offense.

3. J.J. Watt Will Record 2 Sacks

J.J. Watt — I’m pretty sure Watt is sick of hearing the critics, or being blocked by entire opposing offensive lines with no help. If he is able to move around freely to different spots and handpick the Dolphins' weak link, I firmly believe he will have an enormous impact on the success or failure of Ryan Tannehill’s day.

2. Kevin Johnson Will Get His First Interception

Kevin Johnson — Johnson is one of the boldest and most fundamentally sound cornerbacks you’ll ever see. He is hardly ever caught out of position, and on the rare occasion that he is, he can break on the ball in seconds. His coverage plus the pressure created by Watt will force an errant pass by Tannehill that will gently fall right into Johnson’s hands.

1. DeAndre Hopkins Will Be Held To Under 100 Yards Receiving

DeAndre Hopkins — The film session had to be pretty easy for the Dolphins' defense: Hopkins, Hopkins, run play, Hopkins, Hopkins, etc. With the problems that Suh and Wake will create on nearly every play, it will be tough for Brian Hoyer to get a clean look at any throws. The Fins will double Hopkins underneath and over the top and end his historic receptions and yards streak this week.
