Miami at Tennessee Game Preview

Why Miami Will Win

It’s not always pretty, and there’s almost no consistency to the mix, but the team just keeps on winning.

It was helped last week by New Orleans not having a quarterback, but even then the offense was able to find ways to get the job done against a Saint defense that also has a habit of finding a way to succeed.
