Preview: Dolphins at Texans


The Houston Texans have turned their fortunes around, answering a season-opening three-game losing skid that landed them in the cellar of the AFC South with four straight wins that catapulted them to the top of the division. The torrid Texans bid to continue their winning ways on Thursday when they welcome a familiar face in Brock Osweiler and the visiting Miami Dolphins to NRG Stadium.

"He ain't here no more, so I don't really care for him. We didn't win a lot with him," Pro Bowl defensive end Jadeveon Clowney told the Houston Chronicle of Osweiler, who lasted just one season with the Texans despite signing a four-year, $72 million contract in May 2016. The 6-foot-7, 240-pound Osweiler has fared much better in Miami with 619 yards passing and five touchdowns in two starts in place of the injured Ryan Tannehill. "No emotion. This really is just another game, but it's the most important one because it's the next one," Osweiler said of facing the Texans. An aggressive and opportunistic defense has been a major reason for Houston's ascent, as the club has yielded just 36 points in its last three games while recording three fumble recoveries and as many interceptions -- including one for a touchdown -- in its last two.

TV: 8:20 p.m. ET, FOX, NFL Network. LINE: Texans -7.5. O/U: 44.5

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (4-3): Trade rumors began to circle as former first-round pick DeVante Parker was made a surprise inactive in Sunday's 32-21 setback to Detroit, but injuries to fellow wideouts Albert Wilson (hip) and Kenny Stills (groin) have made it an easy decision for Adam Gase. "We don't have any more receivers, so I'm sure he's going to play," Gase said of the 25-year-old Parker, who claims he's 100 percent healthy after being hampered by a quadriceps injury. Danny Amendola led the team with six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown versus the Lions. Kenyan Drake found the end zone for the first time since Sept. 16 and has 15 catches in his last three games.

ABOUT THE TEXANS (4-3): Lamar Miller, who recorded his first 100-yard performance since the 2016 season in Sunday's 20-7 win over Jacksonville, shared his reasoning of opting against re-signing with his hometown team and inking a four-year, $26 million contract with the Texans in 2016. "They offered me to come back," the 27-year-old Miller told the Houston Chronicle. "I just felt like Houston at the time was a winning organization. They were giving me an opportunity to showcase my skill set. I don't regret anything. I love it here in Houston." Miller will face a Dolphins rush defense that was gashed for 248 yards by the Lions. Deshaun Watson overcame a bruised lung and injured ribs to throw a touchdown pass last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Houston's DeAndre Hopkins didn't take too kindly to Miami CB Xavien Howard claiming he "likes to push off a lot," so much so that the two-time Pro Bowl wideout offered the following response: "Who's Xavien Howard?"

2. Dolphins DE Cameron Wake recorded two sacks and two forced fumbles in last meeting with the Texans.

3. Houston has won seven of eight encounters overall with Miami, including all four at home.

Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans (-7.5, 44.5)

It's already time for the Brock Osweiler revenge game? 'Brocktober' rolls on and he'll face his former team in Houston. OK, it's not exactly Joe Montana returning to face the 49ers as a member of the Chiefs in 1994, but anyway. This line opened anywhere from -7 to -7 1/2 depending on the shop. Southpoint and Treasure Island are among the books you can go if you really like the Texans and don't want to lay the hook, but act quickly.

Preview: Baylor at West Virginia


West Virginia looks to bounce back from a thorough beating when the No. 12 Mountaineers host Baylor on Thursday night in Big 12 play. West Virginia opened the season with five straight victories before getting outgained 498-152 in a 30-14 loss to Iowa State on Oct. 13.

The Mountaineers had a bye while they were nursing their pride and coach Dana Holgorsen is confident his team his ready to move on. "A lot of eyes will be on us to see how we respond to what happened up at Iowa State, so I'm looking forward to seeing us as well," Holgorsen said during a press conference. "I think our guys are determined and it showed out there at practice. I think we'll be ready to put our best foot forward." Baylor also is coming off a bye and gave Texas a good battle before losing 23-17 in its last outing. "Going into Morgantown on a Thursday night will be raucous," Bears coach Matt Rhule said during a press conference. "We better have the mentality where we can eliminate distractions and focus on the game and just take it one play at a time. West Virginia will make some big plays and we want to limit those big plays."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS1. LINE: West Virginia -14

ABOUT BAYLOR (4-3, 2-2 Big 12): The Bears are averaging 33.4 points per game and have topped 30 on four occasions behind the steadiness of quarterback Charlie Brewer. The sophomore has passed for 1,798 yards and 10 touchdowns against three interceptions while senior Jalen Hurd has been his favorite target with 47 receptions for 622 yards and three touchdowns. But the defense has been shaky by allowing 31 points per game - including a season-worst 66 versus Oklahoma - while sophomore defensive tackle James Lynch is enjoying a solid campaign with a team-best four sacks.

ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (5-1, 3-1): Senior quarterback Will Grier has thrown for 1,919 yards and 22 touchdowns against seven interceptions this season but passed for just 100 yards and one touchdown in a subpar performance against Iowa State. "They played us really hard and outplayed us in a lot of areas, and that was frustrating," Grier said in a press conference. "We have to be able to produce better. We have to move the chains, we have to score points. That was frustrating, but it's over and done with. We've all moved on to Baylor." The Mountaineers allow an average of 20.5 points per game with junior outside linebacker David Long Jr. having a strong season with 10.5 tackles for loss, including three sacks.

EXTRA POINTS

1. West Virginia has won four of the six meetings, including a 38-36 road victory last season.

2. Grier passed for 375 yards and five touchdowns - including three to now-senior WR David Sills V - in last season's game with Baylor.

3. Bears junior WR Denzel Mims has 100 career receptions - the 18th player in school history to reach the milestone.

Preview: Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech


Virginia Tech looks to contain the nation’s most productive rushing offense and remain unbeaten in the ACC Coastal Division when it hosts inconsistent Georgia Tech on Thursday night. The Hokies, who are ranked 27th in the country in rushing defense, rallied to beat North Carolina 22-19 before their bye week and will go to work on a Georgia Tech triple-option attack that has averaged 352 yards on the ground.

“Time of possession is going to be huge for us,” Virginia Tech quarterback Ryan Willis told reporters. “Eliminating three and outs and giving our defense some rest (is important), because that triple option can go for a long time on the field. We just need to do our best, execute our plays and take care of the ball.” The Hokies have knocked off Florida State, Duke and North Carolina en route to first place alone in the Coastal, but have the four teams with winning records in conference play left on the schedule after meeting the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech rolled up 129 points combined to defeat Bowling Green and Louisville before suffering three fumbles on the way to a 28-14 loss on Oct. 13 in its last contest, and needs three wins over the final five games to qualify for a bowl. “What I want to accomplish is to go up there and not lay the ball on the ground. … and not beat (ourselves) and give (us) a chance to win,” Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson told reporters. “I think when we’ve done that, we’ve been pretty competitive and can be a pretty good team. There’s a small margin for error.”

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Virginia Tech -3

ABOUT GEORGIA TECH (3-4, 1-3 ACC): The Yellow Jackets were held to 229 yards on the ground by Duke, including a team-high 62 from sophomore Jerry Howard, and senior quarterback TaQuon Marshall was held to a season-low 41. Marshall, who is probable with an upper-body injury, leads the team in rushing with 598 yards and nine of its 30 touchdowns on the ground while freshman running back Jordan Mason is next with 482. The Yellow Jackets’ defense has had its moments this season, producing three touchdowns, and senior lineman Anree Saint-Amour boasts four sacks and three forced fumbles the past three games.

ABOUT VIRGINIA TECH (4-2, 3-0): Willis put together an 18-play, 98-yard drive that ended on a touchdown pass to tight end Dalton Keene with 19 seconds left to beat North Carolina in his third start since taking over for injured Josh Jackson. “He is tough and he’s a competitor,” Hokies coach Justin Fuente told reporters of Willis, who has seven TDs and 862 yards passing the last three games. “He stayed in there and battled and scratched and clawed and put together a nice drive.” Sophomore Damon Hazelton (29 catches, 515 yards, five TDs) and junior Eric Kumah (21, 317, two) are the top options for Willis.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Virginia Tech is 23-9 on ESPN’s Thursday Night Football package and 6-0 against the Yellow Jackets on Thursday all time - the last being 23-21 in 2015.

2. Georgia Tech has won in its last two trips to Blacksburg, Va., and took three of the past four in the series, including last year’s battle 28-22 at home.

3. The Yellow Jackets have forced 16 turnovers - tied for 14th in the country - after finishing with 10 in 11 games last season.

PREDICTION: Virginia Tech 31, Georgia Tech 21
