Prediction and Conclusion
The Miami Dolphins will visit the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving in a game of high importance for both teams. The Packers are third in the rugged NFC North but hold a two-game lead for the sixth spot in the conference playoff race. The Dolphins are 5-6 and are 1 1/2 games behind the Denver Broncos for the seventh seed in the AFC. Given that, whoever loses this game will be in real trouble with no room for any mistake. The Dolphins look much better since Tua Tagovailoa’s return. He had four touchdown passes during last week against the Patriots on Sunday and has 11 touchdowns and only one interception in his five games back. The Dolphins lead 10-6 in the all-time series against the Packers, but Green Bay has won the last four. Wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle also have a solid season for the Dolphins, but still, winning at Lambeau Field will not come easy. The Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw for a season-low 163 yards on 13-of-23 passing to go with two touchdowns against the Niners last week, but Green Bay still won by 28. This will be a tight game with both quarterbacks playing on high level, so we go with over 47 total points.
