Miami Dolphins (2-2) vs. Houston Texans (0-4) NFL Betting Odds Preview: The AFC East is more up for grab this season than it has been in recent years. The early departure of New England Patriots QB Tom Brady, shook that division from the core and has left it wide open for someone to step up and take it.

Will it be Matt Cassel and Randy Moss keeping order in the division? Or will Brett Favre change the current culture of the New York Jets?

In Week 6, the Miami Dolphins travel Reliant Stadium to take on the winless Houston Texans, on Sunday beginning at 1 PM ET on CBS.

Odds-makers at JustBet.com are currently favoring the visiting Miami Dolphins [+3] to loose this one, as the Houston Texans [-3] are Online Betting Odds favorites to obtain their first “W” of the NFL season.

Certainly, one team that has now begun creeping into the AFC East picture is the surging Miami Dolphins. After having a disastrous season last year, which ended in the team winning just 1 game and DE Jason Taylor, dancing his way out of Miami to Washington, the Fins have already been more productive in ’08 after just 5 Weeks.
