The Miami Dolphins (4-3) visit the struggling Detroit Lions (1-5) Sunday in interconference NFL action. Kickoff from Ford Field is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dolphins vs. Lions odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Miami Dolphins come into this game after a big win vs. Pittsburgh Oct. 23 (16-10) to end a 3-game losing streak. QB Tua Tagovailoa'returned from a scary concussion suffered in a Week 4 loss vs. the Bengals. Before that injury the Dolphins were 3-0 and looking like one of the top teams in the league. They are looking to regain that status vs. a Lions team that hasn’t looked very good. Tagovailoa and that Dolphins offense with WR Tyreek Hill and WR'Jaylen Waddle'look very scary. Tagovailoa is completing 67% of his passes (101 of 150 attempts) for 1,296 yards and 9 TDs with only 3 INTs.
The Lions are coming into this game looking for a much-needed win to try and turn their season around. The Lions have been struggling with key offensive injuries throughout the season, including injuries to RB D’Andre Swift and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. QB Jared Goff has looked highly inconsistent throughout the season, and many Lions fans are hoping that the organization drafts his replacement next year. Goff is completing (132 of 212 attempts) for 1,583 yards and 11 TDs with 6 INTs.
