This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the Miami Dolphins.

I'm going to jump on the Miami train here. I think its defense is legit and I don't want to get in the way of this Dolphins Tsunami right now, which enters having won three straight.

The Cardinals for the most part have been excellent as well, but they enter off their bye week after holding on for a 37-34 OT win over the Cardinals (their third straight win as well.)

But back to Miami for a moment, it most recently got by the Rams 28-17 this past Sunday, another NFC West opponent which severely underestimated the Dolphins.

Now I'm not saying that Arizona will be looking past Miami, as it does have Buffalo coming to town next, but the Dolphins' defense has been really good in the early going and I think it'll give Kyler Murray some issues this weekend. Note that the Dolphins are averaging 27 points per game and they're allowing only 18.6.

Arizona is averaging 29 points per game and it's allowing 21.

But momentum and chemistry are important factors I always take into account when handicapping a game, and not only are the Cards coming out of their bye, but they're also having to deal with a couple new covid issues which coach Kliff Kingsbury confirmed eariler in the week.

Tua Tagovailoa reminds me a lot of Murray and I expect these two young quarterbacks to go at one another today.

I think this'll be a tight game, one which comes down to the wire.

Because of that, I'm going to suggest grabbing as many points as you can!

Good luck, NP
