ANDREW’S FREE TITANS VS DOLPHINS PREDICTION
I’ll stay with the Dolphins. Miami is rolling right along these days and coming off another solid performance versus Washington. The Dolphins compiled 406 total yards (283 passing) in that one while holding the Commanders to just 245 yards (107 passing) and 11 first downs on the other side. Miami has posted a combined 79 points while allowing just 28 over their last two games.
As for Tennessee, they didn’t play horribly on offense versus Indianapolis—the 300 pass yards allowed ended up hurting, though. The Titans at least broke a string of four straight games with 17 points or fewer but didn’t get the win to show for it. I don’t think Tennessee will fare any better on Monday.
