Why the Dolphins can cover
Miami’s offense has struggled since starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) went down, scoring just 10 points per game with Skylar Thompson, Tyler Huntley and Tim Boyle rotating at quarterback. Tagovailoa is listed as questionable for this week, but is expected to return on Sunday, giving the Dolphins a much needed jolt offensively. He is still surrounded by talented skill players like wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Hill has been held under 70 receiving yards in every game since Tagovailoa went down, but he had 130 yards against the Jaguars in the season opener. The Dolphins were able to keep their realistic playoff hopes alive with a 15-10 win at New England earlier this month, as rookie running back Jaylen Wright rushed for 86 yards on 13 carries. Miami has won 10 of the last 13 meetings between these teams, covering the spread in six of the last nine editions. See which team to pick here.
Why the Cardinals can cover
Arizona got off to a slow start this season, but it has started to turn its campaign around with wins over the 49ers and Chargers in the last three weeks. The Cardinals were 7.5-point road underdogs against the 49ers and 1-point home underdogs against the Chargers. Running back James Conner had 101 rushing yards against Los Angeles last week, averaging 5.3 yards per carry.
Quarterback Kyler Murray has completed 66.3% of his passes for 1,331 yards and nine touchdowns while rushing for 325 yards and two scores. He has helped the Cardinals cover the spread in six of their last nine games, including five of their last six against AFC opponents. Miami has only covered the spread once in its last nine games, making the Dolphins a team to fade. See which team to pick here.
