If the Miami Dolphins have the chance to finish the Chargers they need to do it.

There have been times this year when the Dolphins have had chances to go up to scores in the 2nd half of games that would have severely hampered the chances of their opponents from winning. Now, the Dolphins have won all of those games but I think they could have not made it as stressful as it ended up being.

Justin Herbert and the Chargers live to just be hanging around like Mike McD since was when he playing Teddy KGB. I don’t know if they have alligator blood in them or what. All I know is that seemingly every week when I’m watching the RedZone I see the Chargers down in the 4th quarter only for Herbert to give the Chargers a chance to win.

If the Dolphins have an opportunity to go up two scores in the middle of the 3rd quarter and beyond, then you can’t settle for a field goal making it only a one-possession game.

It be amazing if the Miami Dolphin can go up 20 in the first quarter. I don’t expect that but that be the best.

My overall point is, don’t let Herbert believe he can pull some shenanigans late in a game and throw his way to an improbable victory. That’s really the only way I see the Chargers beating Miami.

Vegas had the Dolphins at 1.5-point favorites. Now that number is up to 4. They think the Dolphins have a decent chance to lay it on the Chargers.

I’m not worried about the home crowd because lets face it, there is no home crowd for the Chargers. There will be at least an equal amount of Miami fans there. Take this team’s spirit early and let Brandon Staley continue to do dumb stuff. He loves to do that. So let him.
