The Miami Dolphins (1-3) face off against the San Francisco 49ers (1-3) in this week 5 matchup.
The Dolphins come in to this game 23rd in total yards per game on offense (347.0 Yds/Game) passing for 240.3 Yds/game and rushing for 106.8 Yds/Game. The Dolphins are 27th in total yards allowed on defense per game (409.8 Yds/Game) allowing 285.0 Yds/Game through the air and 124.8 Yds/Game on the ground. The Dolphins have 9 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 3 fumbles recovered, while giving up 6 sacks, 5 interceptions, and 0 fumbles lost this season.
The 49ers come in to this game ranked 11th in total offense (390.5 Yds/Game) passing for 262.0 Yds/Game and rushing for 128.5 Yds/Game. 49ers are 3rd in total yards allowed on defense per game (294.8 Yds/Game) allowing 184.0 Yds/Game through the air and 110.8 Yds/Game on the ground. 49ers have 8 sacks, 3 interceptions, and 2 fumbles recovered, while giving up 13 sacks, 3 interceptions, and 1 fumble lost.
I like the 49ers here, their defense has been tough this year even with all of the injuries. The 49ers will look to lean on the run on offense and attack the Dolphins weakness on defense. The 49ers will apply pressure to Fitzpatrick, and when Fitz is under pressure his QB rating tends to drop dramatically. I like the 49ers to win by 12-13 points here.
