Even after their shutout against the Bucanneers, there is still the Saints' 9 point offense to consider, and that was with their quarterback and some other key pieces who will be missing this week. Now the Saints are down to their 3rd or 4th string QB. A Saints win would make a great Disney feature, but lets face it; "this ain't no movie", as the song goes.

The Saints defense has dominant last week, and has been their strong suit all season. The Dolphins allowed 24 points to the Jets, but this was not a result for the Dolphins. In their previous 5 games they allowed an average of around 12 points per game, while reeling off 5 staight wins.

Tagovailoa has improved over the course of the season, and has been accurate and well protected of late. The Dolphins have shown dramatic improvement in offense. Here are a pair of stats to compare: Dolphins have scored 28 points on average in their last three games compared to 18 for the Saints. The Dolphins have an 81 scoring % in the red zone over the last two weeks, compared to the Saints’ 28% rate.

It appears to have been a doomed season for the Saints. They are depleted once again, and we saw where that got them earlier in the year. Take the Dolphins to win and cover.
