The Dolphins suffered their first loss of the season in Week 4, falling 48-20 to the Buffalo Bills as their defense failed to come through. Raheem Mostert had a significant drop in production this week compared to last week’s four-TD extravaganza. De’Von Achane had a good week with 102 yards, and Tua Tagovailoa passed for 282 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the loss.
The Giants wrap up Week 4 with an MNF contest against the Seahawks. New York is off to an inauspicious start to the 2023 season. The Cowboys crushed them 40-0 in Week 1. A week later, they fell behind the Cardinals 28-7, but managed a comeback to win 31-28. Four days later, they went to San Francisco and lost decisively to the 49ers on Thursday Night Football by a score of 30-12. They get some extra rest ahead of their Week 4 contest, but they still have a lot of work to do.
The Dolphins should be able to get back on track against this Giants offense. Miami’s run defense was solid on Sunday, and they struggled to defend the pass, which is not the Giants’ strong suit. I think Miami gets back in the groove on offense in Week 5 and covers the spread here.
