Preview

The Giants were dominated by the Seahawks on Monday night, losing 24-3, and falling to 1-3 on the year. After winning a postseason game last year, New York entered the season with high hopes that have all but vanished in the first four weeks of the season. The lack of OT Andrew Thomas and RB Saquon Barkley was notable, but the Giants have many problems across the board. They are staring a 1-5 start in the face.

Miami was unable to remain undefeated in a tough matchup against the Bills, losing 48-20. Their offense cooled off a bit after scoring 70 points on the Broncos in Week 3, but they were still generally successful. It’s the defense that has raised some concerns for the Dolphins. They currently rank 28th in the league, allowing nearly 30 points per game. They’ll have a good rebound opportunity this week against the Giants.

Prediction

It’s hard to imagine the Giants winning this game based on how they’ve played so far this season. They’ve been the NFL’s worst team, and are still dealing with a myriad of injuries. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are still one of the league’s best teams, despite their loss last week. Their defense is vulnerable, but their offense should be exceptional against a subpar New York defense. I see the Dolphins winning this one very easily.
