The New York Giants will travel to Hard Rock Stadium to take on the Miami Dolphins this Sunday afternoon in NFL action.
The New York Giants improved to 4-7 on the season after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles, 13-7, this past Sunday. New York continues to have issues on the offensive end, however, the defense was outstanding against the Eagles and the Giants were able to hold on for the victory after entering the 4th quarter with a 10-0 lead. New York was outgained by Philadelphia by a 332-264 margin, however, won the turnover battle by a 4-0 margin in the victory. Leading the way for the Giants was QB Daniel Jones who completed 19 of 30 passes for 202 yards & 1 TD while also rushing for 30 yards.
On the season, New York is averaging 18.4 ppg on 332.5 total yards per game (241.7 passing yds/g; 90.8 rushing yds/g).

Defensively, New York is allowing their opponents to average 23.0 ppg on 383.7 total yards per game (256.0 passing yds/g; 127.7 rushing yds/g).
The Miami Dolphins won their 4th straight game and improved to 5-7 on the season after defeating the Carolina Panthers, 33-10, this past Sunday. Miami was outstanding defensively against Carolina and had no trouble securing the victory after a 3-yard TD run by Myles Gaskin gave the Dolphins a 27-10 lead with 4:11 left in the 3rd quarter. Miami outgained Carolina by a 315-198 margin and won the turnover battle by a 3-1 margin in the victory. Leading the way for the Dolphins was WR Jaylen Waddle who had 9 receptions for 137 yards & 1 TD.
On the season, Miami is averaging 19.5 ppg on 328.8 total yards per game (248.7 passing yds/g; 80.2 rushing yds/g). Offensively, Miami is led by QB Tua Tagovailoa who has completed 70.5% of his passes for 1701 yards (221.1 passing yds/g), 10 TD & 6 INT while also rushing for 3 TD. The top receiving threats for the Dolphins have been Jaylen Waddle (77 rec, 759 yards, 4 TD), Mike Gesicki (52 rec, 596 yards, 2 TD), & Durham Smythe (25 rec, 253 yards). Leading the way for the Miami backfield has been Myles Gaskin who has 482 rushing yards & 3 TD on 139 carries while also hauling in 43 receptions for 212 yards & 4 TD.
Defensively, Miami is allowing their opponents to average 23.3 ppg on 386.4 total yards per game (281.5 passing yds/g; 104.9 rushing yds/g).
The Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall & 21-7 ATS in their last 28 road games. The Dolphins are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall & 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
New York has been dealing with injuries on the offensive side of the ball all season and it will continue this week as the Giants just ruled out Daniel Jones due to a neck injury. New York’s defense has been solid and still should make this game somewhat competitive, however, as I just don’t see Mike Glennon and the Giants offense scoring more than 10 points in this one, I think the Miami offense led by Tua Tagovailoa & Jaylen Waddle will put up enough offense for the Dolphins to win this one by a TD and cover this spread. Good Luck!
