Our Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins NFL betting preview has this being a close game, with the Dolphins slightly favored with a point spread at -1.0 (-115).
The Titans have lost three straight to kick off the season and have yet to score over 17 points in any of their games. Their latest defeat was a 30-14 outing against the Green Bay Packers, which started to get out of hand when Will Levis threw an interception towards the end of the first quarter that resulted in a touchdown for the Packers.
Levis completed 26 of his 34 passes for 260 yards and had two touchdowns, but also laid on two interceptions that hurt them. Deandre Hopkins was solid for their offense, finishing the game with six receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown.
The Titans put up 237 yards and gave up 378 yards to the Packers. They also had three turnovers, which killed any offensive momentum they had.
Their offense is struggling at 28th in the league, as they average 16.0 points per game. Their defense is allowing 26.0 points each matchup, ranking 24th. If they want any shot at winning, they cannot continue to operate poorly with turnovers.
The Dolphins have had bad losses against teams that have had respectable quarterbacks, but their only win was against the Jacksonville Jaguars who are struggling everywhere you look. Their latest loss was a 24-3 blowout against the Seattle Seahawks.
Their dynamic on offense has changed too since they were without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa due to a concussion. With his history of injuries in that regard, he is on the injured reserve list until he is fully capable of making a decision without rushing.
The starter at quarter for the Dolphins is up in the air, with many expecting it to be Skylar Thompson. He stepped in for Tagovailoa in their loss against the Seahawks and completed 13 of 19 passes for 107 yards.
The Dolphins rank last in the league for their points per game at 11.0. On defense they are holding teams to 24.0 points a game and rank 22nd for that effort.
