The Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans face off on Saturday in a Week 2 NFL preseason showdown at NRG Stadium. These two have had joint practices heading into this Game, so tempers could be high for both teams. 

Dolphins Backup Quarterback

The Miami Dolphins are having a battle for the backup quarterback and this Game could go a long ways in deciding who wins that spot. In the first Game of the preseason against the Atlanta Falcons, the offense only scored three points total, and a lot of that had to do with the failure of Mike White and Skylar Thompson. Thompson completed 10 of his 16 passes for 104 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. Mike White completed 9 of his 14 passes for 85 yards and an interception. Running back Devin Achane had plenty of run out of the backfield finishing with 10 carries for 25 yards. He also was the leading receiver for the Dolphins catching four passes for 41 yards. In this Game if the Dolphins want to find success, they are going to need the offense to kick more than a field goal.

How Much Run Will CJ Stroud Get?

CJ Stroud got his feet wet in the NFL in Week 1 of the preseason against the New England Patriots, but he didn’t play a whole lot. He completed 2 of his 4 passes for 13 yards and an interception. He also rushed two times for six yards. There are going to be plenty of growing pains for Stroud, and it’s clear at this point, the Texans need to give him a couple more series here to try and get him more comfortable. If Stround only has two series here, the Texans are making a big mistake here. Case Keenum completed 9 of his 14 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. Davis Mills completed 9 of his 12 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown. The defense in Game 1 against the Patriots was also good giving up only nine points. The defense didn’t have any interceptions though, and they should be aiming for a couple of those here.

Shane’s Free Pick

The backup quarterback position for the Dolphins appears to be an issue right now, especially with the turnovers, and that is going to be an issue again here. I expect White and Thompson to have a couple of turnovers again here, and that is going to really hurt them here. I also don’t really expect the Texans offense to find a whole lot of success here, and they won’t finish with more than 17 points here. Back the under to cash with ease.

Court throws out conviction after judge says Black man 'looks like a criminal to me'

An appeals court says a Detroit federal judge violated the rights of a Black man when he said in court, ‘This guy looks like a criminal to me DETROIT -- An appeals court on Thursday overturned the drug conviction of a Black man, saying his rights were violated by a Detroit federal judge who was upset over delays in the case and declared: “This guy looks like a criminal to me.” “Such remarks are wholly incompatible with the fair administration of justice,” the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy III, who is white, apologized nearly two years later when the case against Leron Liggins finally was ready for trial. He explained that he was mad at the time “and I regret it.” Nonetheless, the appeals court said Murphy should have removed himself as Liggins' attorney had requested. The court threw out a heroin distribution conviction and 10-year prison sentence and ordered a new trial with a different judge . Allowing the conviction to stand “wou

Accountant's testimony sprawls into a 4th day at Trump business fraud trial in New York

An accountant who prepared Donald Trump’s financial statements is back on the witness stand for a fourth day in the New York civil trial examining whether the former president exaggerated his wealth NEW YORK -- An accountant who prepared Donald Trump's financial statements was back on the witness stand for a fourth day Thursday in the New York civil fraud trial examining whether the former president exaggerated his wealth. Trump himself didn't attend the proceedings Thursday, after choosing to be there — and avail himself of the news cameras waiting outside — for the three prior days. The business fraud trial stems from New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit alleging that Trump and his business ginned up financial statements that vastly overvalued Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago and other assets. Trump denies any wrongdoing and says James, a Democrat, is just trying to damage his 2024 presidential campaign. He's leading the Republican field. The non-jury trial concer
