The Miami Dolphins’ biggest game in recent memory has finally arrives — the Kansas City Chiefs are in town to play the Dolphins and kickoff is just hours away. With Miami angling for a 9-4 record this season and plenty to gain with a win, let alone respect, there’s going to be a sense of urgency around Miami that simply hasn’t existed in recent weeks. Where should we expect the Dolphins to prosper? And what will the end result of today’s contest between the Dolphins and the Chiefs be?
Here are five bold predictions for Dolphins/Chiefs this afternoon from Hard Rock Stadium:
Tua Tagovailoa’s first 300-yard game
The Dolphins are going to need a big, big day from their rookie quarterback. Miami’s run game has been picked over due to injuries and the team is going to have to avoid a slow offensive start in this contest when you consider who is prowling the opposing sideline. And so look for Miami to come out firing early and for that to add up to Tua Tagovailoa’s most productive day as a starting quarterback in the NFL to date. As Miami finds success through the air, and only as they find success through the air, they’ll find the room to try to be balanced and run the ball.
