Cardinals Inconsistent Offense
The Cardinals are 3-4 and 1-2 on the road. The offense started the season strong but now seems to struggle to find the end zone, resulting in numerous field goals. 2 of their last 3 games have been closely contested against decent to above-average teams. While the road offense has been trending downward, they are 3-0 against teams with a record of .500 or below.
Arizona just defeated the Chargers at home, 17-15. The Cardinals’ defense didn’t allow a TD, yet they still almost lost the game. QB Kyler Murray had 1 TD pass and 1 INT, while James Conner rushed for 101 yards. The Arizona defense forced 2 turnovers, and the rushing defense limited the Chargers to just 59 yards. The Cardinals’ offense should find more production against a struggling Dolphins team.
Dolphins Offense Still Lost
The Dolphins’ offense is still struggling without QB Tua Tagovailoa. Miami has scored the fewest points in the NFL, with only 70, and shows no signs of turning things around. The Dolphins’ highest point total this season was 20, while the rest of their games have been 15 points or fewer. At least the Miami defense has kept things close for 2 straight games.
Miami just lost to the Colts on the road, 16-10. They actually led 10-3 at halftime but were shut out in the 2nd half. The rushing game almost accumulated 200 yards of offense, and they may need to rely more on running the ball, given the QB issues the Dolphins are facing.
Cardinals vs Dolphins Prediction
Both of these teams are searching for consistency on offense. Arizona has a great QB in Murray, who can put up points with both his arm and legs, but somehow, the Cardinals can’t put consistent drives together. The Dolphins haven’t scored more than 15 points in a game for a month and a half. Miami will try to run the ball more against Arizona. With both defenses playing decently lately, that’s why the under is likely to hit.
