The Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off later tonight in the "dress rehearsal" Preseason Week 3 contest. The Dolphins come into this contest, looking to start faster on offense, as well as work out their new roles following the loss of Dustin Keller last week.
Meanwhile, the Miami defense started to show their strength last week against the Houston Texans, and will come out against the Buccaneers trying to force turnovers and pressure quarterback Josh Freeman.
Miami enters the game as a three point favorite.
Of course preseason odds really don't mean anything.
The third week of the preseason typically sees starters work through the first half, and come back out for the third period. While the play calling will still be somewhat vanilla, the team will have spent time game planning this week. We won't get to see everything the Dolphins have in store for the regular season, but we will see the Dolphins as close to the final product as we will in the preseason.
