Miami Dolphins vs New York Giants Prediction: Dolphins expected to take charge

In NFL action for week 5 on Sunday, Hard Rock Stadium will play host to a matchup between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins. Let's take a look at the matchup ahead of us and make a forecast.

The Miami Dolphins are looking to improve their record to 4-1 on the year by picking up their second win at home. The Miami Dolphins have been successful at home, winning seven of their past nine games. Tua Tagovailoa has a completion percentage of 71.3 percent, good for 1,306 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions with his passing. While Braxton Berrios has hauled in 13 receptions, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have combined for 680 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns between the two of them. The running offense of the Miami Dolphins is currently averaging 176.8 yards per game, and De'Von Achane is the team's leading rusher with 309 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Miami Dolphins give up an average of 29.8 points and 374.5 yards through their defense each game. Jevon Holland has the most tackles (39), Andrew Van Ginkel has the most sacks (3), and Xavien Howard has the most interceptions (1) for the Miami Dolphins.

The New York Giants are off to a bad start, 1-3, and need a win to get back on track. The Giants have struggled on the road recently, losing five of their last seven games. Daniel Jones has a completion percentage of 68.7 percent, with 765 yards passing, 2 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions from his passing attempts. Jalin Hyatt has four receptions, while Darren Waller and Darius Slayton have combined for 26 grabs and 285 receiving yards. Jalin Hyatt has just four receptions. The New York Giants' rushing attack has gained 94 yards on average per game, and Jones is the team's leading rusher with 173 yards and one score. The New York Giants have a defense that gives up an average of 30.5 points and 341.5 yards per game. On defense for the New York Giants, Bobby Okereke has the most tackles with 32, while Kayvon Thibodeaux and Xavier McKinney each have three sacks and three pass deflections.

The Miami Dolphins, who have the league's highest scoring offense, will take on the New York Giants, who have the league's lowest scoring offense. Since neither team's defense has been very strong in the first four contests, I'm leaning toward betting on the over. Despite this, I'm going to have to put my money on the Miami Dolphins because they've had a stronger showing up to this point. The offensive line play of the New York Giants has not improved at all, and because they played on Monday, they will have even less time to make necessary repairs. The Dolphins' defensive unit might use this as an opportunity to gain some self-assurance, if nothing else. Even Bradley Chubb, Christian Wilkins, and Andrew Van Ginkel were unable to prevent me from getting into the backfield thanks to the inability of the offensive line for the New York Giants. In the past four games, quarterback Daniel Jones has been sacked a total of 22 times. As a result, it is either the Dolphins or nothing in a game that I anticipate to be a thrashing.
