Miami Dolphins keep Panthers on a short leash!

Win number eight comes at Hard Rock Stadium on November 28th when Miami hosts the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers traded for Sam Darnold and Miami knows how to play him.

For Carolina, their best offensive weapon is Christian McCaffrey and he is an outstanding player to watch but he can’t carry the entire offense and defense on his shoulders. If the Dolphins can take him out of the game, they should have a clear path to a victory.

Miami’s defense should be able to rattle Darnold and hold McCaffery in check and that will leave the game in the hands of Tagovailoa and his talented offensive weapons. Miami should be able to control this game from start to finish and watch as the Panthers melt in the South Florida sunshine.

The Dolphins victory at home improves the team to 8 wins and only 3 losses with five games to go. They are in the thick of the playoff chase and should be in contention for the AFC East title as well.
