Lions vs Dolphins Prediction
Word on the street is the Lions have gotten the better of the Dolphins in scrimmages, so who knows if the dominance will carry over. What I do know is that Hendon Hooker and Kyle Allen do little for me at the quarterback position. Zach Wilson looked OK in his preseason opener and is probably more talented than his time with the Jets indicated. Quinn Ewers has also shown flashes throughout camp and has many believing the Dolphins could’ve gotten a steal late in the draft. We’re not being asked to lay much. I’ll take the Dolphins.
