Let’s not overreact to Miami’s seven-game winning streak. The Dolphins have picked on the New York teams for three victories, plus lowly Houston and Carolina for two more. Victims New Orleans and Baltimore were compromised by COVID-related absentees. The Titans last played two Thursdays ago, while Miami worked on Monday, which means four days’ difference in prep time. The Dolphins' weak ground attack is a mismatch against the Titans’ rugged run defense.

Tennessee has a nice rest advantage, having played at home on Thursday in Week 16 while Miami played Monday in New Orleans. The Dolphins' win streak has come against mostly suspect quarterbacks. This is Ryan Tannehill's first game against his former team, and his most important weapon, A.J.. Brown, is ready for another monster workload. But I think the keys will be Mike Vrabel's extremely solid defense and his commitment to the run against the NFL's No. 24 rush defense (by success rate). Lay the field goal.

The Dolphins may have won seven straight games, but they haven't beaten anyone good. Last week's win came against a Saints squad with its top two quarterbacks. Miami's winning streak faces a big test on Sunday against a Titans team that leads the AFC South. Tennessee's Mike Vrabel is a heck of a coach, and he'll have the Titans motivated and prepared. This one isn't close.
