Overtime gives the Miami Dolphins their second loss of the season.

The Miami Dolphins should match up well with the Atlanta Falcons but even in Miami the Calvin Ridley, Julio Jones, and Kyle Pitts match-up may be too much for the Dolphins to defend. Miami will have the 1:00 heat on their side and if their defense is clicking, this is a game that they can win and they should be favored to win this game.

At some point, the Dolphins have to lose and the Falcons are one of those teams with enough offense to upset other teams. Atlanta is a better team than their record indicated last year but will they be a better team this year? That is hard to predict which is why I think this game will be close enough to go into overtime and that is where I am giving the Falcons the narrow victory.

Working in Miami’s favor is the inconsistent defense that Atlanta has and that could be a problem throughout their season. If the Dolphins offense is clicking and Tagovailoa is comfortable in the pocket running the offense, this game will be considerably different.
