Why the Dolphins can cover
When healthy, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is among the best in the league. In four games this season, he has completed 93 of 128 passes (72.7%) for 948 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions and a 96.7 rating. In last week’s loss at Buffalo, he completed 25 of 28 passes (89.3%) for 231 yards and two touchdowns.
Receiver Tyreek Hill missed practice on Friday and Saturday with a wrist injury and he’s officially listed as questionable. If he can’t go, Miami still has plenty of options for Tagovailoa, including receiver Jaylen Waddle (28-310-1), Jonnu Smith (30-302-1) and running back De’Von Achane (37-302-3). Miami’s overall record isn’t impressive, but the Dolphins are 2-2 against the spread in their last four, with every game coming down to the final possession. See who to back at SportsLine.
