Cons
The Dolphins are a heavy 8.5-point favorite in this week’s game, indicating an extreme rushing game script.
Given their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics, the Dolphins are predicted by the projection model to call only 64.5 plays on offense in this contest: the 9th-fewest on the slate this week.
The 5th-fewest plays in the league have been called by the Miami Dolphins this year (a lowly 54.8 per game on average).
