Texans vs. Vikings game preview: Playoff teams look to find momentum

Meet the Vikings

The Vikings have reigning NFL MVP Adrian Peterson on the roster and added a very good wide receiver in former Green Bay Packers star Greg Jennings. Quarterback play is still the most important part of the Vikings offense, however, meaning Christian Ponder is going to have to take things to the next level if the Vikings are going to improve as planned.

The defensive side of the football should be improved up front and the addition of another former Packer in Desmond Bishop won't hurt their linebacking corps. The defensive backfield will need to show improvement, though.

Meet the Texans

The Texans were a solid 12-4 last season, and it'll be hard to match that performance again this season. The addition of veteran leader Ed Reed and the return of the injured Brian Cushing should help, but the Texans struggled down the stretch because they weren't quite quick enough to handle certain situations -- and Reed isn't going to help that this year.

The Texans' offense should benefit from the addition of rookie wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, but it's likely going to take some time before teams decide to give Andre Johnson less attention.



Prediction

The Texans should be able to handle the Vikings quite well this weekend, but it's going to be interesting to watch the Texans' defense try and stop Adrian Peterson. Either way, seems like a 21-13 game for the Texans.

Odds

The Texans opened as 1.5-point favorites, but the spread has moved and it's now essentially a pick'em preseason game, according to OddsShark.

Next Week

The Vikings will go on the road next week to play the Buffalo Bills on Friday night at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Texans will have their first home game of the year when the Miami Dolphins come to town on Saturday night.

Game Notes
NFL preseason 2013: Dolphins vs. Texans game preview

Meet the Texans

Cierre Wood, an UDFA, had an eye-opening preseason game to get his NFL career going. Wood finished with 108 yards and 2 touchdown on 14 carriers in the win against the Vikings. Even more impressive was his 7.7 yards per carry. If Wood keep his his current pace he'll make the team and may steal a few carries away from backup Ben Tate.

The backup QB battle in Houston is against T.J. Yates and hometown kid Case Keenum. Yates has the early led on Keenum even though neither QB had an good showing in the preseason opener. No need for Schaub to look over his shoulder.

Meet the Dolphins

One of the more interesting preseason storylines for the Dolphins is who will line up next to Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson at wide receiver. The Dolphins have close to seven players competing for the final spots, and the game against the Jaguars didn't do much to clear the air. Nobody finished with more than two receptions in the game and eleven different receivers caught a pass.

On the rushing front, The Phinsider says Lamar Miller is still the presumed starter at running back, but Daniel Thomas just won't go away lightly. Neither player did very much against the Jaguars; Miller carried the ball twice for six yards and Thomas gained 19 yards on four carries.



Odds

The Texans are favored by a field goal, according to Oddsshark.com.

Next Week

The Texans draw the New Orleans Saints at home and the Dolphins get their first official preseason game at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
