Titans vs Dolphins Prediction
Considering Tennessee’s strong performance in the running game against Washington and the fact that they’re up against a Miami defense that struggled to stop the run against Washington, I’m taking Tennessee at +14 for this game.
For this week’s matchup, I’m going with the under. The over/under line of 47 is set higher than the lines in all of Tennessee’s previous games. We believe this line is sitting to high for this matchup, and our expectation is that the game will not surpass 47 points.
