Key Factors
Favors Over
The Dolphins are an enormous 8.5-point favorite this week, likely leading to an extreme rushing game script.
The weather report calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and lessened passing effectiveness.
In regards to blocking for ball-carriers (and the importance it has on all run game metrics), the O-line of the Dolphins grades out as the 7th-best in football last year.
Favors Under
Right now, the 7th-least run-centric offense in the NFL (36.3% context-neutralized) according to the predictive model is the Dolphins.
At the moment, the 9th-slowest paced team in the NFL (adjusted for context) according to the projections is the Miami Dolphins.
In registering a meager 1.6 carries per game this year, Tua Tagovailoa stands among the bottom QBs in the league (17th percentile) as it relates to running workload.
