Dolphins vs Falcons Prediction
Now we have the Dolphins vs Falcons Prediction for both teams.
The Week 8 showdown between the Miami Dolphins and the Atlanta Falcons is shaping up to be an intriguing cross-conference matchup with plenty of storylines. The Dolphins enter this game looking to snap a rough stretch that has seen them drop five of their last six contests, including back-to-back heartbreakers to the Chargers and Panthers by a combined five points. Miami’s offense, once known for its explosive passing attack, has struggled to find consistency. Ranked just 18th in points per game (22.3) and 21st in passing yards (197.6), the Dolphins are moving the ball but not finishing drives. They’ve been plagued by inefficiency on third downs and a lack of balance in their offense — rushing for just 91.3 yards per game (27th in the league). That one-dimensional nature has allowed defenses to key in on their passing game, and against Atlanta’s top-ranked pass defense allowing only 135 yards per game, Miami faces another uphill battle.
On the other side, the Falcons have quietly been one of the more resilient and surprising teams in the NFC this season. Atlanta is coming off an impressive win over Buffalo and now boasts victories over the Bills, Commanders, and Vikings in recent weeks — all games where they were underdogs. The offense has leaned on a punishing ground game that ranks fourth in the NFL with 136.5 rushing yards per game, anchored by an efficient offensive line and a backfield committee that wears down opponents. The Falcons’ ability to dominate time of possession (33:30 average) and limit mistakes has been key to their success. Meanwhile, their defense has been stellar, ranking first in both passing yards allowed (135) and total plays defended, showing just how disciplined and efficient this unit has become. This matchup will likely come down to whether Atlanta’s defense can continue smothering opposing quarterbacks and if the offense can exploit Miami’s league-worst run defense, which is giving up a whopping 168.5 yards on the ground per game.
Historically, the Dolphins have had the upper hand in this matchup, winning seven of the last ten meetings, but the tide seems to be turning in Atlanta’s favor. The Falcons are playing with momentum and balance on both sides of the ball, while Miami appears to be searching for answers after several narrow losses. The Falcons’ defensive front has been disruptive, their secondary airtight, and their offense opportunistic. Miami, meanwhile, has struggled to protect the football and maintain drives, ranking 31st in plays per game and 31st in time of possession. Unless the Dolphins find a way to ignite their rushing attack and keep Atlanta’s offense off the field, this could be another long afternoon for them. With the Falcons at home and riding a wave of confidence, it’s hard not to side with the hotter team right now.
