Cowboys vs Dolphins: The game of the Week 16
Two division leaders will collide on Christmas evening when the Miami Dolphins host the Dallas Cowboys at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. These are the top two scoring teams in the NFL this season, which makes this game a must-watch.
Can the Cowboys bounce back?
The Dallas Cowboys are coming off a 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills last week, Dak Prescott’s worst performance this season. He passed for only 134 yards, with 3.9 yards per pass, an interception, and only a 57.7 rating. Despite the loss, the Cowboys are still on top of the NFC East with a 10-4 record. They are the second-highest-scoring team in the league with 30.8 points per game.
Miami is the team to beat
The Miami Dolphins are on top of the AFC East with a 10-4 record. After losing their first home game of the season to the Tennessee Titans 28-27 in Week 14, the Dolphins bounced back with a 30-0 win over the New York Jets. With MVP candidate Tyreek Hill out, Jaylen Waddle had his best game of the season, catching eight passes for a season-high 142 yards. The Dolphins are by far the best offensive team in the league, leading the league with 31.5 points per game and 414.1 total yards per game.
Betting Trends
Miami has won 7 of the last 8 home games, while Dallas has not won on the road against a team with a winning record this season.
Player to watch
Miami’s quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, is having a fantastic season, leading the league with 3,921 passing yards. He is 325-of-458 for a 71% completion percentage, the only quarterback among the top 30 in passing yards with over 70% completion.
Injury Reports
Tyron Smith and Jonathan Hankins are out for the Cowboys while Tyreek Hill is questionable for the Dolphins.
Prediction and Conclusion
The two best offenses in the league are going against each other tonight in Miami. The Dolphins have lost only one home game this season, while the Cowboys are only 3-4 on the road. Dallas lost last week to the Buffalo Bills, and they have lost two in a row only once since Mike McCarthy took over the team three years ago. Whether Tyreek Hill will be available for the Dolphins is very important for the home team, but still, Miami is much better at the moment and should not have any problems winning this one. Tua Tagovailoa is in perfect shape and will outplay Dak Prescott on the other side, which will take the Dolphins to a comfortable victory.
