Dolphins vs. Ravens Prediction: Miami Might Be Better Than You Think

The Baltimore Ravens were sitting at 6-2, and in the drivers seat for a postseason berth in 2021 ahead of a Week 10 matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

The entered the game as 7-point favorites, but ended up losing in a Thursday Night Football stunner by a final score of 22-10. Baltimore would go on to lose six of their final eight games, and miss out on the playoffs.

Now, the two teams, who both won in Week 1, will face-off in a rematch of last season's pivotal contest.

Let's take a look at the odds, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Dolphins vs. Ravens Prediction and Pick

If you watched NFL RedZone on Sunday, like I did, you probably thought that the Ravens smoked the Jets up and down the field. They ended up winning by a final score of 24-9, but if you take a closer look at the stats, there are some red flags surrounding Baltimore.

For example, they only gained 3.0 rushing yards per carry against the Jets, despite supposedly being one of the best running teams in the NFL. Lamar Jackson capitalized on some blown coverage, but he still only completed 17-of-30 passes.

Yes, I do think the Ravens are deserving of being favorites, but with the line being set over the magic number of three, the value lies with the Dolphins.

Tyreek Hill has proven he can be a game-changer for the Dolphins, and Mike McDaniel, if nothing else, is willing to be an aggressive play-caller.

I'll back the Dolphins and the points on Sunday.
