The odds for the matchup have the teams evenly matched, but Tennessee is the favorite. That may seem odd considering their current 0-3 record in the 2024 season, but the absence of Dolphins starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa due to a concussion has been a key factor in the betting odds.
Tennessee Titans Looking for First Win of the 2024 NFL Season
The Tennessee Titans are one of three teams in the American Football Conference that have not yet won a game. In the first week of the season, they lost to the Chicago Bears 24-17, despite leading 17-3 at halftime.
In the second week, the Titans suffered another loss, this time to the New York Jets by the same score. Despite a good performance, the team lacked luck, and the Jets were able to snatch their first win. In their last game, they lost to the Green Bay Packers 30-14, where their defense made several mistakes, including allowing a touchdown after a turnover.
However, the Titans can count on their defense in the upcoming matchup, especially with Tagovailoa missing from the Dolphins.
Miami Dolphins struggle on offense
After three weeks of games, the Dolphins are last in the league in average points scored per game, with only 11.0. In the first week, they won 20-17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Tagovailoa on the field.
However, he suffered a concussion against the Buffalo Bills, which caused him to miss Week 3 and the upcoming game. Without Tua, the Dolphins were able to score only three points against Seattle, allowing 24. Miami's defense was also not up to par, allowing an average of 24 points per game, which ranks them 11th in the league.
Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins Prediction
The Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins matchup doesn't look like it will be a high-scoring one. Both teams will likely focus on the ground, and the Titans look a little better in that area.
