Dolphins vs. Falcons Odds
Game Preview
The Miami Dolphins are in serious, serious trouble. The team is 1-5, and has 3 consecutive losses. McDaniel seems lost, as well as Tua Tagovailoa, who is worse and worse as time goes by.
In the most recent loss to the Browns, 31-6, Tua threw three intercepted passes and had only 100 passing yards before being benched and replaced by Quinn Ewers, who had 53 passing yards.
Falcons’ offense couldn’t do anything in San Francisco. The Niners won this game, 20-10, with Christian McCaffrey harassing Atlanta’s defense, recording 200 yards from scrimmage.
RB Bijan Robinson had only 40 rushing yards on 14 carries, though he had 52 receiving yards for a touchdown. Rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. completed 21 of his 38 passes for one touchdown, but he fumbled and lost one ball, too.
Dolphins vs. Falcons Head to Head
The Miami Dolphins have a 9-5 lead in the all-time series against the Falcons. The two sides met in 2021 in Miami, where the Falcons won 30-28.
Dolphins vs. Falcons Predictions
Miami’s offense is falling apart, and there’s no way that the Falcons won’t use this. Atlanta has one of the best defenses in the league, especially against passing, and knowing that Miami doesn’t have any running potential, the Falcons are bound to win this one.
