The Dolphins have opened up their offense more since they've moved on from Jay Ajayi and a power ground game to set up the pass. Jay Cutler has been playing better and Kenyan Drake, Ajayi's replacement, has more speed and is a more dangerous pass-catcher out of the backfield. Tampa Bay's defense has been terrible on the road surrendering at least 30 points in each of their four away matchups.

So I'm expecting the Dolphins to put up a fair share of points. I equally expect the Buccaneers to put up a lot of points, too.

Miami's defense is at low ebb allowing an average of 37.3 points in its past three games. The Dolphins are particularly vulnerable on pass defense starting a rookie and second-year player at the cornerback spots.

Mike Evans is back from suspension joining DeSean Jackson in giving Ryan Fitzpatrick two big play weapons. Fitzpatrick is turnover-prone, but he knows the Dolphins having played against them three times in the last two seasons enjoying good success against them.

The Dolphins have the second-worst quarterback rating in the NFL at 104.8. They have only three interceptions while allowing 16 touchdown throws. Fitzpatrick, given his receiving weapons and running back Doug Martin, should produce good numbers.
