Washington Commanders vs Miami Dolphins Prediction

The Washington Commanders will beat the Miami Dolphins. The Washington Commanders will cover the spread, and the total will go over.

The statistical comparison between these two teams reveals that the Commanders are slightly better offensively, averaging 22.3 points per game compared to the Dolphins’ 21.0. While both teams are relatively close in passing yards, the Commanders boast a higher rushing average of 135.2 yards on 27.5 attempts, which is crucial for controlling the tempo of the game. The Dolphins, on the other hand, manage just 107.2 rushing yards on about 23 attempts. This difference in rushing efficiency can enable the Commanders to dominate time of possession and provide their defense with more rest.

Furthermore, the Commanders’ ability to convert on passing attempts at 64.7% gives them the upper hand when it comes to keeping drives alive. In contrast, the Dolphins’ pass efficiency, while respectable, does not match this level. Given the Commanders’ ability to score and control the ground game, I foresee them exploiting the Dolphins’ defensive weaknesses effectively. With both teams capable of putting points on the board, it is reasonable to expect the combined score to exceed the set total, confirming the prediction of high-scoring plays that can tilt in the Commanders’ favor.
