Washington Redskins vs. Miami Dolphins: Spread Info, Line and Predictions

Sunday will give us a rematch of Super Bowl VII and Super Bowl XVIII when the Washington Redskins travel south to take on the Miami Dolphins. They split those title games.

The Redskins are on a four-game losing streak after a 3-1 start and now sit at 3-5, tied for last place in the NFC East. The Dolphins won their last game vs. the Chiefs but sit at 1-7 on the season, in last place in the AFC East.

This will be the first meeting between the two teams since Week 1 of the 2007 season. The Redskins won that game 16-13.

Where: Sun Life Stadium. Miami Gardens, FLA

When: Sunday, Nov. 13 at 1 p.m. EST

Watch: Fox

Spread

Dolphins -4, according to Bodog.

Despite their blowout win over the Chiefs in Week 9, the Dolphins are just not a good enough team to be favored by four points. 

I like the Redskins to win this game. Four points is not a lot, but it's enough of a security blanket.

Over/Under

37.5, according to Bodog. You can see my prediction below. It's under, and it's not even all that close. I actually like both defenses and have absolutely no confidence in either offense. 

Key Injuries

Redskins LB Keyaron Fox, WR Santana Moss, and WR Niles Paul are out.

Redskins S Oshiomogho Atogwe, Jammal Brown, and RB Tashard Choice are questionable.

Redskins DE Kedric Golston, LB Markus White, T Trent Williams, S LaRon Landry, TE Fred Davis, and S Reed Doughty are probable.

Dolphins CB Nolan Carroll, CB Vontae Davis, and WR Edmond Gates are all listed on the Dolphins' injury report, but practiced in full.

Fantasy Big Plays

Either defense is a must play. These offenses just have little to no punch. There is no reason to think that the defenses won't do well.

I would bench Miami WR Brandon Marshall. Matt Moore will have a hard time getting him the ball in the face of a strong pass rush that the Redskins have.

Keys to a Redskins Win

They have to minimize what Marshall can do. He is still a strong receiver and probably the best offensive skill player in this game. If the Redskins contain him, they will win.

Keys to a Dolphins Win

Matt Moore must be given time when he passes. Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan give the Redskins a frightening pass rush. If they pressure Moore, the Redskins will take this game.

Prediction: Redskins 16, Dolphins 7

Neither of these teams is that good. It's hard to be too confident in either, but I like the Redskins' pass rush against the Dolphins.
