This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Miami Dolphins.

Washington has been embroiled in controversy throughout the off-season, while Miami has quietly and methodically gone about constructing a serious playoff contender. Suffice it to say, when the smoke clears at the end of this one, we're expecting the visitors to find a way to get the job done. Washington made a late preseason decision to bench RG III as starting QB and instead go with Kirk Cousins. It wouldn't matter who got the start today though in our opinion as we're expecting Miami's improved defensive unit, which is now anchored by Ndamukong Suh, to have a big day against this suspect Redskins offensive line. With Suh drawing double teams, it will open things up for Miami's talented pass rushers like Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon to inflict as much damage as possible on Cousins (note that the Redskins' offensive line would allow a deplorable 58 sacks last year, second-worst in the NFL). The Fish also have plenty to be excited about with steadily improving QB Ryan Tannehill and his revamped receiving corps. It obviously won't be a cake walk though, Washington has plenty to prove and Cousins does have threats in the form of DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, but this one ultimately boils down to the Redskins' poor offensive line and defensive unit. Miami can ill afford to look past its Week 1 opponent, with playoff aspirations going in, getting started on the "right foot" becomes paramount and we expect the team to take that first step today; play on the DOLPHINS.
