The Miami Dolphins have the quietest 9-3 record in the NFL right now. We’re hearing a lot more about teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, who couldn’t control retread quarterback Joe Flacco in a loss in Cleveland on Sunday, and the Buffalo Bills, who finally got out of their own way long enough to beat a quality team, holding on for a 20-17 win in Kansas City. All the Dolphins do is keep winning – and stacking up points. They sit fourth in the NFL in points differential at +118, and they average 6.9 yards per offensive play, tops in the league. Only one other team has an average that is even higher than 6.0 yards per play. In their last three wins, they have permitted no more than 15 points. However, their nine wins have come against teams with a combined winning percentage of .303, the lowest number in the AFC, and this week brings another soft team in the Tennessee Titans. The Dolphins’ NFL betting line opened at 12 ½ points and has just grown since. Check out our thoughts about Titans vs Dolphins of the league’s two Monday night games this week.

Why should you bet on the Tennessee Titans?
The Tennessee offense is now in the hands of rookie quarterback Will Levis. He has seven touchdown passes, but since his first start, that production has dropped significantly, and he has only three touchdown passes over his last five games. Overall, the Titans have dropped four of five, with the lone win coming over the one-win Carolina Panthers. They had a lead on Indianapolis in overtime last week, but then the Colts came back to score the game-winning touchdown. Derrick Henry ran for 102 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but it was all for naught.
Henry is still the Titans’ lead back, but he is only averaging 70.1 yards per game with eight scores. DeAndre Hopkins has done his job since coming over from the Cardinals, averaging 64.5 yards per game, but he has only found the end zone five times. Tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo is the team’s second-leading receiver, but he is only averaging 26.1 yards per game. It’s no surprise that the Titans are 25th in scoring (17.8 points per game). Their defense is respectable, permitting just 21.3 points per game to rank 16th, but the team is 30th in takeaways with 10. These are not promising numbers. Can they keep within two touchdowns of the high-flying Miami offense? It’s hard to make this case.

Why should you put your money on the Miami Dolphins?
The Dolphins have won their last two games by a combined 51 points – a 21-point win against the Jets and a 30-point win over Washington. In that win over the Commanders last week, Tyreek Hill caught two touchdown passes and picked up 157 receiving yards. On the season, he has 1,481 receiving yards, the league leader by a wide margin; second place goes to Dallas’ CeeDee Lamb, who now has 1,182 (although Lamb has now played one more game than Hill has). Their offense is second in the league in scoring (32.0 points per game) and first in total offense (428.4 yards per game). Tua Tagovailoa is third in total passing with 3,457 yards and has a 24:10 TD:INT ratio.
On defense, the Dolphins are less than average, ranking just 21st white permitting 22.2 points per game. However, the pass rush has been outstanding, as four different Dolphins have 6 ½ sacks apiece. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey has three picks despite only playing in five contests. The Dolphins do have a -4 turnover differential after giving up the ball 19 times.

Titans vs Dolphins MNF Final Score and Prediction
The AFC is in chaos right now as Jacksonville and Kansas City now have five losses each. The Dolphins are a half-game behind 10-3 Baltimore but have the tiebreaker over the Ravens. Their Week 17 showdown could determine who has the bye and home field advantage in the AFC side of the playoff bracket. I see the Dolphins rolling over the Titans at home, 38-16.
