Week 8: Arizona Cardinals (3-4) @ Miami Dolphins (2-4)

[TheKillerNacho]

For better or worse, it seems like it's in the "Cards" for Tua to make his comeback from the concussion he suffered in Week 2. For McDaniels' Dolphins, this couldn't come at a better time, as the offense has sputtered without him, mustering only a 2-4 record despite fielding one of the league's best pass defenses. The Dolphins hope he can rekindle the offensive spark that allowed Miami to be the highest scoring team in the NFL only a season ago, and salvage their season in the process.

The visiting Cardinals aren't necessarily an easy opponent, however, as they are one of the better up-and-coming teams in the league under 2nd-year coach Jonathan Gannon. Miami's defense is a bit vulnerable to a mobile QB as we saw last week, and Kyler Murray is also a legitimate passing threat unlike Anthony Richardson.

Obviously, there are a lot of unknowns with this game as it is entirely unclear how Tua will look coming back from his extended absence. But it certainly should be an improvement over the offensive ineptitude we've witnessed under the likes of Thompson, Huntley, and Boyle. Ultimately my prediction:

Arizona 20
Miami 24

 

Fins up!
