The Miami Dolphins have returned home for Christmas, the first time playing at Hard Rock Stadium since their Week 12 win over the Houston Texans. Since that game, they lost at the San Francisco 49ers, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins hope that being home for the holidays as they face the Green Bay Packers in Week 16 ends the losing streak and sets them up for a potential playoff-clinching Week 17 game against the New England Patriots.
The Packers come into Sunday’s game having won their last two games, but still sitting two-games under .500 on the year and barely holding on to a shot at the playoffs. The Washington Commanders loss on Saturday ensured the Packers would make it to Week 17 with their slim shot at the postseason intact. It will take a ton of work for the Packers, who are currently 10th in the NFC playoff picture, to make it to the postseason, and they essentially need a win today to have any realistic chance.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, are seventh in the AFC playoff picture and control their own path to the postseason. A berth in the tournament is locked up with two wins in the final three games for the Dolphins, while one win can get them there with some help.
How will Miami fare against the Packers? Can they put the past three games, and the losses that came with them, in the rearview mirror, forgotten as they move into the championship tournament?
The Dolphins are listed as 3.5-point favorites as of Sunday morning, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The total score is set at 49.5 points.
