Miami Dolphins vs. Tennessee Titans
Spread: Miami Dolphins -13
Total: O/U 46.5
The Dolphins have been rolling the last two weeks, scoring 79 points and winning their games by a combined 51 points. The offense is firing on all cylinders, and the addition of Jalen Ramsey to the defensive backfield has taken that unit to another level.
Miami’s offense versus Tennessee’s defense is one of the biggest mismatches that could possibly exist on paper. The Dolphins’ third-ranked pass DVOA offense should be able to exploit the Titans’ third-worst pass DVOA defense, and despite the fact that Tennessee is great against the run, Miami is tops in the league in adjusted line yards created.
On the other side of the ball, Will Levis hasn’t topped a 41 QBR in any week since his four-touchdown debut in Week 8. Given the double-digit spread and the edge the Dolphins offense has against the Titans defense, it’s unlikely that Tennessee will be able to lean on Derrick Henry the way they have in the past two weeks. That means Levis will be forced to drop back more often, which bodes well for Miami to win and cover the spread.
