Miami Dolphins vs Carolina Panthers: Panther Pummeling On The Panhandle
United States, NFL, Sunday, October 15th, 18:00 (UK)
It already feels like a long season for the Carolina Panthers (0-5) and it might be about to get even longer as they head down to Florida to take on the Miami Dolphins (4-1) as two-touchdown underdogs, and even that might not be enough.
When comparing the offensive talent across these two rosters you’d be forgiven for thinking they play different sports, and given the relative performances of each side, you probably wouldn’t be far off.
Adam Thielen aside, the Panthers are weak in pretty much all areas and, were it not for some garbage-time relief, could have been humiliated even further at the hand of Detroit last Sunday.
The Lions were up 35-10 with basically the full fourth quarter to play before resting some of their key players and even then they managed to give RB3 Craig Reynolds his first career touchdown with over seven minutes still to play.
Carolina looked like boys against men at Ford Field in that one, and now face an even sterner test in a Miami Dolphins side that is averaging 0.260 total EPA/per play on offense and ranks as the only side in the NFL that is adding more than 0.1 points per rush play.
That does not bode well for a Panthers side that ranks dead last against the run; allowing over 140 yards of rushing offense and 1.8 touchdowns per game, as well as allowing almost five yards per rush attempt and giving up huge weeks to backs on a regular basis.
Tyler Allgeier, Tony Jones Jr, and Kenneth Walker all managed two-score games against the Panthers’ porous defense; whilst David Montgomery (109 yards) and Alexander Mattison (95 yards) had their best games of the season against Carolina.
Even with De’Von Achane on IR, this should be a game that sees the Dolphins having things go their way on the ground. Raheem Mostert – averaging 5.4 yards per carry through five games – should see a lot of success here, and it woudn’t be a shock if he found himself in the endzone a couple of times too.
The Dolphins are the best side in the league at pummeling bad teams having shown that in each of their home games so far, and now face the league’s 29th ranked defense (per DVOA).
Miami dropped a historic 70-points on the Denver Broncos (ranked 32nd for defensive DVOA) and 31 on the New York Giants (ranked 28th), despite three turnovers including a redzone pick-six.
Meanwhile, the Panthers have only really faced two good offenses in Detroit and Seattle and they held 42 points and 37 points respectively. The Dolphins are better than both.
LA Rams vs Arizona Cardinals: Can’t Catch Kupp In California
United States, NFL, Sunday, October 15th, 21:25 (UK)
The Arizona Cardinals (1-4) have gone from frisky underdogs to exactly what we expected in the few weeks since defeating the Dallas Cowboys, and now travel to California to take on divisional rivals the Los Angeles Rams (2-3) who are looking to get back on track following a home handling by the Eagles.
Cooper Kupp returned to action for the Rams last week and looked every bit as impressive as he did in their Super Bowl season, winning consistently from the slot for 8 catches and 118 yards – complimenting rookie Puka Nacua (7 for 71) wonderfully despite a defeat at the hands of Philadelphia.
Sean McVay’s side started hot, scoring two first half touchdowns, before last year’s NFC Champions were able to put the clamps on in the second half – exposing LA’s offensive line as the subpar unit that it is with their elite pass rush and holding Matthew Stafford and co to 0 points and less than 100 yards.
The good news for them is that Arizona’s pass rush is a much worse unit than Philadelphia’s, meaning number 9 should have all day to find his guys downfield and carve up the Cardinals’ inexperienced coverage unit.
Aside from the anomaly of their 28-16 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the Cardinals have been pretty much what was expected of them – an underdog that can put up points but ship 30+ to any decent offense. Arizona has allowed 30+ points and 350+ total yards in back-to-back weeks, and it’s their pass defense that is getting dominated.
Joe Burrow (317 yards) and Daniel Jones (321 yards) both dropped season-highs for passing yards on Jonathan Gannon’s team and that just spells trouble against a QB that likes to air it out as much as Matthew Stafford does.
Early-game scripts have been working in his favour, especially at home, with the Rams scoring 14+ first half points in each of their two games at SoFi Stadium this year – and that was against two top-10 defences in San Francisco and Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals defense ranks 30th (per DVOA) – and they’ve shipped an average of 19 first half points across their last couple of games.
Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Jets: Three Is Better Than Zero
United States, NFL, Sunday, October 8th, 21:25 (UK)
One of the NFL’s two remaining unbeaten sides, the Philadelphia Eagles (5-0) welcome the weirdly frisky New York Jets (2-3) to Lincoln Financial Field, looking to go 6-0 for the second consecutive year under head coach Nick Sirianni.
The Birds just did what they’ve been doing all season in taking care of business last week against the Rams and, while not doing anything extremely impressive, they made a statement by clamping LA’s offense after the half.
Jalen Carter and their terrifying defensive line were the driving force behind that second half shutout, getting after Matthew Stafford and giving him no time to find his receivers downfield, and they should have similar success against a New York Jets offensive line that has allowed 3 sacks per game and just lost Alijah Vera-Tucker for the season.
The loss of their best guard made a hard-fought win over the Denver Broncos more bittersweet than it should have been, though their celebrations seemed to show otherwise. The emotional aspect of that victory over Sean Payton (who had clowned Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett previously) was clear for all to see and could be a factor here.
New York, whilst not being great offensively, has one the league’s better defences – and that’s in spite of the short field situations they often find themselves in. Having a strong defence means that opponents are settling for field goals against them in order to win games.
Last week was the first time one of the Jets’ opponents has attempted less than three field goals, with three of their previous opponents making three or more and the only other side missing two of the four they attempted.
On average, sides are opting to attempt a field goal 3.4 times per game against New York (the highest mark in the league) and are seeing three made per game.
The Eagles, meanwhile, are kicking field goals at a higher rate than any other side (3.4 per game) with kicker Jake Elliott converting on 94% of his 17 attempts. The Eagles have scored at least three field goals in four of their five games, missing a 55-yarder against the Vikings in Week 2.
Buffalo Bills vs New York Giants: Silence Of The Dans
United States, NFL, Monday, October 16th, 01:20 (UK)
The Buffalo Bills (3-2) are back on familiar soil – not concrete – this week as they look to rectify the mistakes they made in London by handing the New York Giants (1-4) a fourth consecutive drubbing.
Buffalo’s shock defeat to the Jaguars at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend will have left Sean McDermott’s side reeling, having squandered the opportunity to take control of the AFC East with a decisive victory.
Bills fans watched on in horror as Travis Etienne was allowed to run in for two fourth-quarter scores in a game they should really have seen out after shutting Jacksonville down in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
They will be looking to bounce back here now they are back at Orchard Park and if their response to the Week 1 defeat to the Jets is anything to go by, the Giants are in real trouble. Buffalo outscored their next three opponents 123-33 in the aftermath of that shocking loss, averaging 41 points per game and allowing just four touchdowns across the three games.
New York are a big apple ripe for picking here and, as mentioned above, have already been on the wrong side of some hidings this year. Brian Daboll’s side – ranked 28th for defensive DVOA – has allowed 24 or more points in all five of their games this year, and hasn’t kept an opponent below 20 points on the road since Week 7 of 2022.
Buffalo still boasts the league’s 3rd best offence (per DVOA) and represent one of the stiffer challenges that the Giants will have faced, especially with their mounting injury report. QB Daniel Jones and TE Darren Waller both did not practice on Wednesday, and were two of 14 names not in full practice, though there are hopes RB Saquon Barkley could return this weekend.
Even his presence isn’t likely to be enough to turn their fortunes around, especially behind their swiss cheese offensive line, and how ruthless Buffalo can be. Their 4.2 sacks per game leads the NFL, while Giants QBs take more sacks (6.0 per game) more often than any other side.
New York have been notoriously slow starters this year and finding themselves in a hole at the half has been a major issue that they haven’t fixed. The Giants have allowed a league-high mark of 18.8 first half points per game, and have seen their opponent surpass this line on four separate occasions – with the Seahawks’ 14 points the least they’ve allowed.
The Bills, unfortunately for the Giants, are scoring early points at the 5th highest rate in the league – a number which jumps to tied first on home soil. In their two (actual) home games this season, Buffalo has scored 52 first half points and will be looking to get their season back on track with an early statement here.
