In this article we will formulate a Miami Dolphins vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers prediction for this NFL Preseason game on Friday, August 23rd at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this preseason battle in week three.
Miami Dolphins Betting Preview
The Miami Dolphins are 2-0 this preseason after they defeated Washington by a score of 13-6 in their last game. Miami led 10-6 at halftime and they were able to score the only points in the second half for the win. The Dolphins were out gained by a total of 340-288 and each team turned the ball over twice in the game. Mike White threw for 116 yards, while Skylar Thompson added 61 yards through the air. Tua did go 5/5 for 51 yards and one touchdown. Chris Brooks rushed for 63 yards on five carries in the game.
Miami went 1-2 in the 2023 preseason, which started with a 19-3 loss against Atlanta. The Dolphins defeated Houston by a score of 28-3 in the second game, but lost 31-18 against Jacksonville in the finale. We may see Tua for a brief amount of time in this game, but expect to see plenty of Mike White and Skylar Thompson under center.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Preview
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 1-1 this preseason after they lost to Jacksonville by a score of 20-7 in their last game. Tampa Bay tied the game at seven in the second quarter, but they failed to score any more points in the loss. The Buccaneers were out gained by a total of 339-207 and went 2-11 on third down in the game. Kyle Trask threw for 108 yards and one touchdown, while John Wolford threw for 52 yards. Sean Tucker rushed for 32 yards on four carries in the loss.
Tampa Bay went 2-1 in the preseason last year, which began with a 27-17 loss against Pittsburgh. The Bucs defeated the Jets by a score of 13-6 in their second game and beat the Ravens by a score of 26-20 in their third game. We should see some starters in this game, including Baker Mayfield, but the majority of the snaps will be with Trask or Wolford under center.
Miami Dolphins vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction
Miami comes into this matchup looking to complete a perfect preseason, but I am sure that is pretty low on their list for this game. The Dolphins have done a very good defensively so far this preseason, but they should face the Tampa Bay first string offense for at least a series or two here. The Buccaneers looked pretty bad in their last game against Jacksonville and I have little faith in Trask and Wolford, who we will see play the majority of the game. My Miami Dolphins vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers prediction is for the Dolphins to get the cover and have a chance to win late.
