Titans vs. Dolphins Analysis
This matchup might not be the prettiest to watch. Both teams rank at the bottom of the league in EPA per play, with the Titans at 31st (-0.216) and the Dolphins at 30th (-0.215). Miami, however, has a legitimate excuse: starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered another concussion in Week 2, and his return remains uncertain.
The Dolphins have struggled offensively without Tagovailoa. Skylar Thompson didn't impress before his injury against Seattle, and Tim Boyle wasn’t much better. Now, Tyler Huntley will get the opportunity to lead the Dolphins’ offense, offering more promise due to his mobility and past experience filling in for Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.
The Titans, meanwhile, continue to face issues with quarterback Will Levis, who ranks poorly in Value vs. Average Starter metrics. His turnovers have been a major problem, and the Titans’ offensive line, ranked 31st, hasn't helped matters.
Expect Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver to apply heavy pressure on Levis, taking advantage of Tennessee’s vulnerable O-line.
On the other side, the Dolphins have a favorable matchup.
Tennessee’s defense is average against both the run and pass, which means Miami running back De’Von Achane could bounce back from a tough Week 3 outing. This would create opportunities for Huntley to connect with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Achane recorded three receptions last week, but was targeted five times and had seven catches in both Week 1 and Week 2. It’s evident that Miami prioritizes getting Achane the ball in space, and this shouldn’t change with Huntley at quarterback.
Additionally, Tennessee has struggled to cover running backs, allowing Breece Hall and Braelon Allen to combine for nine receptions in Week 2. Achane reaching five receptions in this game is quite possible.
The Dolphins have been dependable at home under head coach Mike McDaniel, with an 18-5 SU and 14-9 ATS record as favorites since he took charge.
Despite the uncertainty at quarterback, Miami’s strong home-field advantage and the Titans’ ongoing struggles could make the Dolphins an appealing pick.
