"MIAMI GARDENS - All indications are that the Miami Dolphins (4-7) will get past the New Orleans Saints (2-9) on Sunday, whether with a one-point victory or a blowout, it doesn't matter, and extend their winning streak to three games. We're aware that the Dolphins have won three of their past four games and New Orleans has lost five of its past six, and, knowing that the Dolphins are at home, everyone assumes the the Dolphins will win."
"In reality, the margins are narrow. The Dolphins are 21st in the league points allowed at 24.5 points per game while New Orleans is 22nd at 24.9 ppg. The Dolphins are 25th in turnover margin at minus-5 while the Saints are tied for 22nd at minus-4. And the Dolphins lost to Cleveland rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel earlier this season, so nothing is sacred."
The Miami Dolphins enter the game 4-7 and the New Orleans Saints are 2-9. The Dolphins have won three of their past four games while the Saints have lost five of six. Saints running back Alvin Kamara is battling a knee injury and rookie Tyler Shough is starting at quarterback. The Dolphins allow 24.5 points per game (21st) and the Saints allow 24.9 (22nd). The Dolphins have a minus-5 turnover margin (25th) and the Saints are minus-4 (tied 22nd). Crowd interest and the Dolphins' ability to finish opponents are key game factors.
