Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins are coming off a dominating win at home against the New England Patriots, 34-19. Tua Tagovailoa was excellent, completing 29 of 40 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns. Jaylen Waddle feasted with 8 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown. Jonnu Smith was great, catching 9 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. Despite the dominating win, Miami was only 4/12 on 3rd down. They have a tough matchup this week. A warm-weather team traveling to Green Bay to play in the cold. That could be one of the bigger factors that could affect the speed of the Dolphins.

Despite the up-and-down season for Miami, their defense has been above average. They rank 11th in points allowed per game, 8th in passing yards per game, 9th in rushing yards allowed per game, 7th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 26th in sacks, and 18th in takeaways per game. Linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. has already been ruled out with a hamstring injury he suffered last week. This should be a good matchup between a good defense that the Dolphins possess and a Packers offense that will run the ball 23+ times if you allow them to do so.

Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are coming off a great win last week at home against the San Francisco 49ers, 38-10. Jordan Love played a solid game, completing 13 of 23 passes for 163 yards and 2 touchdowns. Josh Jacobs was dominant in this game. He had 26 carries for 106 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns. This offense dominated the time of possession. They won the battle 36 minutes and 43 seconds to 23 minutes and 17 seconds. When you dominate like that, you put yourself in a great situation to win the game.

The Packers’ defense has been a top-ten defense all year long. They are ranked 10th in points allowed per game, 11th in passing yards allowed per game, 12th in rushing yards allowed per game, 13th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 18th in sacks, and 1st in takeaways per game.

Cornerback Jaire Alexander has been ruled out of this game with a knee injury that kept him out of last week’s game. Despite this defense playing great this season, Alexander’s loss could be massive in this game. With a passing attack of Tyreek Hill, Waddle, and Tua being a great passer, the secondary will have their hands full.

Prediction

The Green Bay Packers are going to cruise to a win against the Miami Dolphins in Green Bay and cover the 3.5-point spread in this game. It’s a bad matchup. A warm-weather team playing in the cold will not be able to play as fast as they do at home or in warm weather. The Packers can run the ball down Miami’s throat. That controls the line of scrimmage, and time of possession, & punches a “soft” team like Miami in the face. Green Bay cruises to a 27-20 win at home and keeps up with the Vikings and the Lions in the NFC North.

Final Pick

Green Bay Packers -3.5 ( -102)
