Miami is a very underrated team and they are likely to surprise a lot of people including the public when they beat the Chargers at home. Miami has quietly won 3 of 4 games and frankly, it should be 4 in a row as they gave up the game to the Packers earlier in the year on the final play. This San Diego team struggles against strong defensive lines as they continue to not have Matthews for this game and likely will find it troublesome running the ball.

The rushing game has also gotten a boost from quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who has been keeping the ball more as the coaches open up the playbook with designed runs. It's given the offense a much-needed spark as he's averaging 7.3 yards per carry having rushed 27 times for 198 yards. Through the air Tannehill has gone 154 of 247 for 1,619 hands, 11 touchdowns, and six interceptions – good for a 25th-ranked QB rating of 86.1.

Tannehill has developed a fine chemistry with wide receiver Mike Wallace, who has 32 receptions for 418 yards (13.1 Avg) and five touchdowns, but it seems to have come at the expense of the other receivers. Granted, rookie Jarvis Landry is making a big impact having caught 25 passes for 255 yards (10.2 Avg) and a touchdown, but where have Brian Hartline (20 receptions for 215 yards and a touchdown) and tight end Charles Clay (22 receptions for 205 yards and a touchdown). Look for Rivers to be forced to pass the ball against a very competent Miami secondary and the Dolphins get the win here.
