How to watch Dolphins vs. Lions in NFL Week 8

The Miami Dolphins are coming off a victory on Sunday Night Football looking to put together back-to-back wins and move to two games over the 0.500 mark for the 2022 season. They are in Michigan for this afternoon’s Week 8 contest against the Detroit Lions, facing off against their former interim head coach Dan Campbell, now working the sidelines in his second season as the Lions’ head coach. Miami comes into this game at 4-3, in third place in the AFC East and in the sixth-seeded position in the early AFC playoff picture, while the Lions are 1-5, in last place in the NFC North and holding the worst record in the league.

Miami comes into this game with the number one receiver, Tyreek Hill, and number four receiver, Jaylen Waddle, in the league in terms of yardage this season. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who is starting his second game since missing two weeks with a concussion, leads the league in yards per attempt and is fourth in passer rating on the season. If Tagovailoa can look more like the player who had three strong games to start the season as compared to the player who seemed to still have some rust on him during the Dolphins’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, Miami should be able to put pressure on the Lions’ 32nd-ranked defense.

The Dolphins are listed as 3.5-point favorites as of Sunday morning, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The total score is set at 52 points.
