Sean's take:
The
Dolphins stand at a critical juncture, having had a litany of
weaknesses exposed in a blowout loss Monday night heading into a home
matchup against the defending champions. The Miami coaching staff's
ability to adjust and self-scout will be at the forefront in coming
weeks, but the Dolphins' defense regains its dominant form against the
inconsistent Ravens, keying a solid win heading into the bye.
Prediction: Dolphins 20, Ravens 10
Nick's take:
Dan's take:
Despite an electric front seven keeping them in games, Baltimore's offense has become extremely one dimensional, with Torrey Smith the only true threat thus far. Buffalo exploited that last Sunday to the tune of four sacks and five picks, and expect Miami to do the same. Miami's offensive line is going through its own struggles (allowing a league-high 18 sacks), but Tannehill's weapons severely outmatch Flacco's in this low-scoring defensive battle.
