Tennessee Titans vs Miami Dolphins Prediction
This line has flip-flopped because nobody knows who the Dolphins are going to start at quarterback. Skylar Thompson has a rib injury and looked awful last week. Tim Boyle made a couple of throws as the third string last week, but his skill set is limited, and he's never won going back to college. Tyler Huntley is the right answer in terms of talent, but he joined the team a little over a week ago, and it's a question of how much of the playbook he can learn on the fly.
All that said, the Dolphins are still a better team than the Titans. The Tennessee Titans are just as a mess offensively and Will Levis has been a turnover machine. The Dolphins defense has been good enough to win games this season and the offense still has playmakers. I love the Dolphins and the free points if Huntley starts. If he doesn't, this is a stay-away. I'd still side with the home dog on Monday night if forced to pick.
