Why The Packers Could Cover The Spread

The Packers are still alive but need to win out to have a chance at the playoffs. Consequently, numerous losses have put them in this predicament, and now they must play their best football in December.

Rodgers has completed 64.9 percent of his passes with a 92.3 quarterback rating, 3093 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Jones has rushed 181 times for 937 yards on a 5.2 yards-per-carry rate with two touchdowns. Additionally, he has caught 52 passes for 364 yards and five scores. Dillon has rushed 154 times for 660 yards and five touchdowns while also catching 26 passes for 194 yards. Allen Lazard has caught 46 passes for 627 yards and five touchdowns, while Christian Watson has 29 receptions for 447 yards and seven touchdowns.

Douglas has quietly had a great year on defense, with 53 solo tackles and three interceptions. Meanwhile, Jaire Alexander has 37 solo tackles and four interceptions. Quay Walker has 62 solo tackles and 1.5 sacks. Consequently, the absence of Rashan Gary has harmed this defense and their ability to make plays.

The Packers will cover the spread if Rodgers can make plays and find his open receivers. Moreover, the defense must find ways to stop Tagovailoa and force him to pass.

Why The Dolphins Could Cover The Spread

Tagovailoa has had a great season. Substantially, having Waddle and Hill at his disposal has turned his career around and the future is bright for Tagovailoa.

Tagovailoa has completed 64.8 percent of his passes with a 107.8 quarterback rating, 3238 yards, 24 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Mostert has rushed 153 times for 746 yards on a 4.9 yards-per-carry rate with three touchdowns while catching 19 passes for 146 yards and a score. Additionally, Jeff Wilson Jr. has rushed 44 times for 238 yards and two touchdowns. Hill has 109 receptions for 1529 yards and seven touchdowns, while Waddle has 62 catches for 1117 yards and seven scores.

Melvin Ingram has been a great playmaker for the Dolphins, registering six sacks. Also, Jerome Butler has 58 solo tackles and four sacks. Jaelan Phillips has contributed with 27 solo tackles and seven sacks. Ultimately, the Miami defense has struggled over losing streak, allowing the San Francisco 49ers, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Bills to gash them on the ground before allowing the major catch. Josh Allen led the Bills down the field with little time to help set up the game-winning field goal last week. Consequently, the Dolphins have allowed the opposition to dictate the game.

The Dolphins will cover the spread if Tagovailoa can keep the offense humming and give the defense some time to rest. Moreover, it will help keep the balance and prevent a game-ending situation where they might lose on a last-second field goal.

Final Packers-Dolphins Prediction & Pick

The Dolphins are cold right now and will have trouble with the Packers. Thus, Miami might win this game, but Green Bay is playing for their lives. Expect the Packers to keep it close.
