The Dolphins have done nothing but won their first two games on the road and we are still getting value with them, but after this win on Sunday we will no longer get value on the Dolphins. The media really does not talk about them, because QB Ryan Tannehill has not put up numbers like Wilson, RGII or Luck so we have been cashing Dolphins tickets under the radar since last season.
For on this Dolphins defense is good. They were #1 in the red zone last year allowing 42% TD conversions 38% when they were home and they are back at it this year spending their first overall pick on a pass rusher. This defense was also ranked 4th in third down defense and looks to be even better this year. The Falcons obviously are banged up right now on offense with Stephen Jackson out and their two star receivers questionable. I expect both White and Jones to play, but this offensive line has struggled on the road in recent years. I think Miami can keep this Falcons team between 17-24 points much like the Saints did.
Meanwhile the Dolphins offense is vastly improved with Lamar Miller showing a little life last week, but more importantly Ryan Tannehill had 319 yards and is very quietly becoming one of the better QB's in the league. We also saw Mike Wallace show why the Dolphins spent so much money as he put up 9 receptions and 115 yards against the Browns secondary that has been very good in recent years. They also have a tough match up in FB/TE Charles Clay who caught 5 passes for 109 yards last week. The Dolphins are third right now in red zone TD% showing balance and the Falcons has surrendered 350 passing yards in both of their games this year. Expect another big win by this Dolphins group and some actual hype to follow from the media.
