"Dave Hyde, Sports Columnist (Season record: 3-8): Dolphins 30, Saints 17 When do you say a 4-7 Dolphins team should win relatively easy? Answer: When it plays a 2-9 Saints team. Of course, the same could've been said about the overtime win against Washington. The Dolphins just need a win no matter how it comes and they should do that against New Orleans."
"David Furones, Dolphins Writer (Season record: 4-7): Dolphins 24, Saints 16 I don't feel the Saints have much offensively with Alvin Kamara now possibly missing this game and Tyler Shough at quarterback. The Dolphins will have to be mindful of wide receiver Chris Olave, and tight end Juwan Johnson is having a sneaky good year. Running the football, stopping the run and forcing a key turnover or two should be enough for Miami to come back from the bye and score a home win against the lowly Saints."
"Kathy Laughlin, Sports Editor (Season record: 4-7): Dolphins 20, Saints 17 The Dolphins have had a bye week to heal and plan. They are at home and playing the 2-9 Saints. Miami should be able to take care of New Orleans without overtime. Fingers crossed. It also helps that New Orleans has the worst red-zone offense in the NFL and is averaging a league-low 15 points per game."
Dolphins favored by six points to beat the 2-9 Saints at home. Multiple local columnists predict Miami wins by comfortable margins, citing Miami's improving form, bye-week recovery, and balanced play on offense, defense and special teams. New Orleans enters with offensive struggles, possible absence of Alvin Kamara, Tyler Shough at quarterback, a league-worst red-zone offense and just 15 points per game. Miami must run effectively, stop the run and create turnovers to secure a home victory and keep faint playoff hopes alive after winning three of four games following a 1-6 start.
