Positives for the Miami Dolphins Game Today

This game’s line implies an extreme passing game script for the Dolphins, who are big -7-point underdogs.

The predictive model expects the Miami Dolphins to be the 3rd-most pass-focused team among all teams this week with a 62.4% pass rate, accounting for their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.

This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.

As it relates to cornerbacks in pass coverage, Atlanta’s unit has been terrible this year, projecting as the 5th-worst in the NFL.

In this contest, De’Von Achane is anticipated by the predictive model to place in the 78th percentile among RBs with 14.5 carries.

De’Von Achane has been much more involved in his team’s running game this season (65.0% Carry Share in games he has been on the field) than he was last season (46.4%).

De’Von Achane has averaged 53.0 adjusted rushing yards per game this year, one of the highest marks in the NFL when it comes to RBs (81st percentile).

Devon Achane’s 3.96 yards-after-contact this year shows a significant boost in his rushing talent over last year’s 2.91 rate.

The Falcons defense has had the 10th-worst efficiency against opposing ground games this year, giving up 4.84 adjusted yards-per-carry.

In this week’s contest, Jaylen Waddle is projected by our trusted projection set to finish in the 95th percentile among wide receivers with 8.8 targets.

The leading projections forecast Jaylen Waddle to be a much bigger part of his offense’s passing game in this week’s game (25.0% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (19.3% in games he has played).

Negatives with the Atlanta Falcons Game Today

Our trusted projections expect this game to see the 2nd-fewest plays run among all games this week at 123.3 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.

The 6th-smallest volume of plays in football have been called by the Miami Dolphins this year (a mere 50.4 per game on average).

The predictive model expects Tua Tagovailoa to throw 36.3 passes in this contest, on average: the 8th-most out of all QBs.

Opposing offenses have averaged 27.2 pass attempts per game vs. the Atlanta Falcons defense this year: fewest in the league.

Tua Tagovailoa has passed for significantly fewer adjusted yards per game (169.0) this year than he did last year (268.0).

Accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Dolphins to run on 37.6% of their downs: the 3rd-lowest frequency among all teams this week.

When talking about protecting the passer (and the significance it has on all passing game statistics), the offensive line of the Miami Dolphins profiles as the worst in the league this year.

Jaylen Waddle’s ability to generate extra yardage has diminished this season, totaling a measly 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) vs a 3.88 figure last season.
