The return of George Kittle gives Jimmy Garoppolo a chance, but an offense this dependent on Deebo Samuel making magic is hard to trust, especially with Samuel aggravating his calf injury. Green is on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and DeAndre Hopkins' hamstring makes him a shaky proposition. Murray is capable of winning from the pocket even if he's not 100 percent, but A.J. until Kyler Murray missed practice Wednesday with his ankle injury. I was all ready to lock up the Cardinals to win this game on the Around The NFL Podcast this week. WHERE: Levi's Stadium (Santa Clara, Calif.).UPDATE: Tua Tagovailoa, who was limited this week with rib and finger injuries, will not start Sunday against the Texans, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. He dramatically upgrades this Texans offense, so I'm not comfortable giving away too many points in a matchup of one-win teams. Taylor looked terrific in his six quarters of play before injury. The line changed - dropping a point to 5.5 - and so did my calculation.
But on Thursday, Texans coach David Culley announced Tyrod Taylor would retake the quarterbacking reins. So, at initial publishing, this space predicted a 28-17 Dolphins win.
Houston is the rare team that won't be able to pressure Tua Tagovailoa, and I figured Brian Flores would cook up enough third-down heat to force Mills into rookie mistakes. When I was under the impression Davis Mills would start this game for Houston, I wasn't willing to take the 6.5 points of bait on the Texans' side.
