How it plays out

Miami Dolphins vs Los Angeles Chargers is a cross-division AFC test that could swing the conference picture. This projects as a coin flip, 43-57 with the spread at LAC -1.

Tactically, Miami Dolphins will want to lean on creative scheme to attack Los Angeles Chargers, whose aging edges is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Los Angeles Chargers's elite arm talent could punish Miami Dolphins if qB durability goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Mike McDaniel and Jim Harbaugh, to script around exactly that battle.

Keep an eye on Tua Tagovailoa (QB) and Justin Herbert (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Dolphins get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
