Arizona Cardinals vs Miami Dolphins Prediction
The Miami Dolphins have been a disaster, especially for bettors, where they're 1-5 ATS on the season. However, help is on the way with the return of Tua Tagovailoa. The Dolphins' offense is far and away better than what it's shown up to this point, and it's an ideal bounce-back spot. The Arizona Cardinals are 28th in total defense, 26th in pass defense, 26th in rush defense, and 24th in scoring defense. It's been a frustrating month for the Dolphins, and this feels like a game where they unleash what's been bubbling up. I'll lay the field goal with the Dolphins at home.
