Randy’s Pick

We have the best scoring offense in the Dolphins against the worst scoring offense in the Giants. Neither defense has been good through the first 4 games, so I’d consider looking at the over. However, I’m laying the chalk with the Dolphins. The Giants offensive line remains absolutely horrendous, and they’ll have less time to patch things up after playing last Monday. If anything, this is a chance for the Dolphins defense to build some confidence. The Giants offensive line couldn’t block me from getting in the backfield, let alone Bradley Chubb, Christian Wilkins and Andrew Van Ginkel. Daniel Jones has been sacked 22 times in 4 games. No, thanks. Give me the Dolphins in a beat down.
