Cardinals Vs. Dolphins: Odds, Analysis, Picks For NFL Week 14 Game
Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Arizona Cardinals-Miami Dolphins Week 14 game, with the line from OddsShark.
Arizona Cardinals at (-1) Miami Dolphins, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Mike: Cardinals. The Ravens exposed the Dolphins last week for what they are: a “meh” team that lives on running the football. Take that away — which Baltimore did, bottling up Jay Ajayi — and your chances of winning greatly increase. The Cardinals allow fewer than 4 yards per carry.
Andre: Dolphins. Arizona is a completely different team away from the desert. Its only road win this season came against San Francisco, and it averages only 4.7 yards per play on the road — nearly a yard fewer than its home average. Carson Palmer also has been sacked 35 times this season (tied for third-most) and Miami leads the league in hurries.
Ricky: Cardinals. The Dolphins’ run defense ranks 30th in the NFL, which poses a problem when facing a Cardinals rushing attack anchored by David Johnson, who’s perhaps the most dynamic player in football. Miami also is 0-12 ATS in its last 12 December games, for whatever that’s worth.
