This is an 8* TOP TOTAL on the UNDER between the Atlanta Falcons and the Miami Dolphins.
Setting the scene: Both teams come in off higher-scoring shootouts in Week 2, as Atlanta handled Cleveland 24-13, while Miami was blown out 41-14 by Dallas. Week 3 means that the starters on both sides of the ball will see the majority of the action today and we think that each side's defense and special teams will be the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries.
The Falcons: QB Matt Ryan was 6 of 11 for 78 yards in last week's win over the Browns, while backup Matt Scaub was 8 of 12 for 78 yards. Third-string pivot Matt Simms was 10 of 13 for 136 yards and a TD. Expect the visitors to hit the ground game hard once again this week though as they had tremendous success with the run against Cleveland, totaling 225 yards in all. Devonta Freeman had 42 yards on ten carries and a TD.
The Dolphins: QB Ryan Tannehill was one of the lone bright spots in last week's setback to the Cowboys, he'd finish 12 of 20 for 162 yards and two TD's. Note that Miami averaged just 19.4 points per game in 2015, ranking it 27th overall.
The bottom line: The preseason is all about focusing on problems that need to be worked out before Week 1. Miami was terrible against the run last year, so it has a big opportunity to work on that issue vs. a Falcons team which will be committed to the ground throughout this one. The home side will also be eager to erase the stench of last week's pathetic defensive effort from memory with a concerted effort on that side of the ball. When you add it all up, we feel this number is just a little bit high, play the UNDER.
