"There's no believing better is coming at this point, and aside from playing in an indoor stadium, this is a bad matchup for the Dolphins. They have the worst rushing defense in the league at 159.3 yards allowed a game. Atlanta has one of the NFL's top rushing offenses. It's defense also ranks second in yards allowed (252.6) and eighth in points allowed (19.6) against a Dolphins offense that looked lost against a strong Cleveland defense. Add it up and it's another tough week."
"I might be too optimistic in giving the Dolphins two touchdowns, especially considering tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) went on IR and will miss at least four games. If the Dolphins give a second consecutive listless performance, that would almost certainly be coach Mike McDaniel's last stand. The Dolphins would be riding a four-game losing streak heading into a Thursday game against Baltimore, and most likely disgruntled fans wouldn't show up at Hard Rock Stadium for that game."
"Simply put, Miami is falling apart after that brutal loss in Cleveland. Bijan Robinson is going to run all over this league-worst run defense. Tua Tagovailoa has thrown six interceptions in his last two games. Already without Tyreek Hill, now he's without tight end Darren Waller. It's all just not a good formula for the reeling Dolphins, who clearly are a team in disarray."
Falcons are favored by 7.5 points. Multiple forecasts project Falcons victories with scores such as 31-14, 28-17, 34-13, and 26-23. Miami has the league's worst rushing defense, allowing 159.3 yards per game, while Atlanta fields one of the NFL's top rushing offenses. Atlanta's defense ranks second in yards allowed (252.6) and eighth in points allowed (19.6). Miami's offense has struggled, with Tua Tagovailoa throwing six interceptions in his last two games. Tight end Darren Waller is on injured reserve with a pectoral injury, and Tyreek Hill remains unavailable, contributing to organizational turmoil and potential fan discontent.
