Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins Prediction
It’s been a fun ride for the Miami Dolphins. Miami has won seven straight games and is now 8-7 on the season. They went through many bumps along the way but faced adversity and are now in a position to finish the regular season with a winning record.
Every team gets a chance at playing some awful teams. The Dolphins just got to play them for seven straight weeks. Wins against the Jets, Giants, Panthers, and Saints aren’t going to impress anyone. However, this is the National Football League, and we’ve seen many teams lose games that should’ve never been close. It is impressive for the Dolphins to win seven straight games in this league, regardless of who they played.
Tua Tagovalioa has led the Dolphins with just 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions on the year. The Dolphins, despite having a winning record, have allowed more points than scored this year and are averaging fewer points than allowed this season as well. It’s only a matter of time before the Dolphins finally lose a game.
Against the Titans, there’s a chance the streak concludes. The Titans are 10-5 on the year and have been quietly excellent this year while going through a bunch of bumps in the road as well. The Titans have had to play without running back Derrick Henry and play many games without A.J. Brown and Julio Jones this year. With Brown back, the Titans looked poised to be a legitimate contender in the AFC. Julio Jones will be back soon and
Henry could return in the playoffs if the Titans win a couple of games first. The Titans average 361.3 points per game while giving up 351.9 yards per game. However, the Titans have limited opponents to 86.7 yards per game on the ground this season. The Dolphins have also really struggled in the ground game, which could force Miami into second and long and third and long spots in this game. So give me the Titans, at home at -3.5.
