Why The Dolphins Could Cover The Spread

The Dolphins have an explosive offense, and it is one of the major reasons they are on top of the AFC East. Now, they will need to thrive without Waddle as Tagovailoa continues to progress.

Tagovailoa has passed for 4,214 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Now, he hopes to overcome a tough defense that stalled the Niners last week. Mostert has rushed 209 times for 1,012 yards and a league-leading 18 rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, Hill has caught 106 passes for 1,641 yards and 12 touchdowns. Waddle will not play, so someone else will need to help Hill. If the receivers do not thrive, then the Dolphins could utilize De'Von Achane, who has rushed 79 times for 637 yards and seven touchdowns while catching 22 passes for 162 yards and two scores.

The defense must play a near-perfect game to handle the Ravens and have five players that can wreak havoc. Bradley Chubb leads the way with 11 sacks and 42 solo tackles. Also, Zach Sieler has tallied 27 solo tackles and 8.5 sacks with one interception. Christian Wilkins has done well with 30 solo tackles and eight sacks. Likewise, Andrew Van Ginkel had 40 solo tackles, six sacks, and one interception. Jalen Ramsey had 14 solo tackles and three interceptions.

The Dolphins will cover the spread if they can run the ball to set the pass up. Then, the defense must stop Jackson.

Why The Ravens Could Cover The Spread

The Ravens are the best team in the NFL and just came off a big win over the best team in the NFC. Ultimately, they have a great offense that can make some moves all over the field.

Jackson has passed for 3,357 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while rushing 142 times for 786 yards and five scores. Amazingly, he can do anything on the field and is having a great season that could land him the MVP. Gus Edwards has rushed 172 times for 694 yards and 12 touchdowns. Therefore, he needs to produce to take the pressure off Jackson. Flowers has been a great receiver, catching 74 passes for 752 yards and four touchdowns.

There are five players that could destroy Tagovailoa. Jadeveon Clowney has done well, with 21 solo tackles and 8.5 sacks. Meanwhile, Justin Madubuike has been excellent, with 36 solo tackles and 12 sacks. Safety Geno Stone has thrived with 38 solo tackles and six interceptions. Additionally, Kyle Hamilton was the star last week after picking off Purdy twice. Hamilton has 63 solo tackles, three sacks, and four interceptions but is questionable this season with a knee injury. Also, Roquan Smith has tallied 81 solo tackles and 1.5 sacks.

The Ravens will cover the spread if they can run the ball down the Dolphins' throats. Then, the defense needs to stop this explosive offense.
