49ers Look to Halt Struggles With Huge Win
Going into Week 16, the San Francisco 49ers are in must-win mode after losing in Week 15 to the Los Angeles Rams. While the NFL betting lines for that game had the Niners as field goal favorites, their offense could not get going, as they were held to just six points by a Rams team that had allowed 42 points to the Bills the week prior. This week, the Niners will have to be better on offense if they want to avoid another loss that could all but end their hopes of making the playoffs.
Fortunately for the Niners, they are taking on a Dolphins team that is inconsistent at best on defense, and consistently bad at their worst. That will give Brock Purdy an opportunity to turn things around through the air. But Purdy has failed to complete over 20 passes in any of his last three games and he will need to step things up regardless of which defense he is up against here.
Dolphins Desperate Heading Into Week 16
The Miami Dolphins are in a similarly desperate situation going into Week 16 of the regular season. They lost to the Houston Texans in Week 15, putting them in a bad position as it pertains to their hopes of making the postseason. But a win this week could help them move closer to the .500 mark and keep them in the hunt in a crowded AFC playoff picture.
Surprisingly it was Miami’s offense, not its defense, that let them down in their loss to the Texans. The Dolphins held Houston to just 20 points, but they only managed to score 12 points of their own. After quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was held under 200 passing yards by Houston, the offensive line and quarterback play for the Dolphins has to be better this week if they are going to beat the reigning NFC champions.
49ers vs Dolphins Best Bet
Our best bet for 49ers vs Dolphins is for the Miami Dolphins to get a much-needed win on their home turf. The Dolphins offense should pick things back up at home here, while the Niners offense just has not looked like the team we saw run through the NFC a season ago. Expect Miami to keep its playoff hopes alive while dealing San Francisco a crucial blow in this inter-conference matchup.
