Miami Dolphins vs Green Bay Packers Prediction
Miami comes into this matchup on a three-game winning streak and they have scored 34 points in each of their last two games. The Dolphins have played very well on both sides of the ball recently, but they have beaten up on some bad teams. Green Bay has won six of their last seven games and just blew the doors off of San Francisco last week. Green Bay has been able to win eight of their first 11 games, but they are inconsistent and nearly lost to the Bears two weeks ago. This should be a great game and I think either team could win, so I will take the points with Miami.
