Why the Dolphins can cover
Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been elite in 2023, throwing for 3,177 yards and 22 touchdown passes, both among the top-five of passers in the NFL. He's a prime MVP candidate for a team on its way to a division title and has led Miami to a top-two offense in the league alongside the Cowboys. With Washington giving up the third most passing yards per game (264.6), there should be no slowing Tagovailoa and the Miami offense on Sunday.
Currently the leader for the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award, wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been virtually unstoppable this season. With 88 receptions for 1,324 yards and 10 touchdowns, Hill leads the league in receiving by displaying incredible speed and route running. In last week's big win over the Jets, Hill caught nine passes for 102 yards and a score. Washington is facing an uphill battle in trying to slow him down in Week 13. See which team to pick here.
Why the Commanders can cover
Though Washington's record may not reflect it, their offense has been successful this season led by second year quarterback Sam Howell. He leads the NFL in passing yards with 3,339, while throwing for 18 touchdowns against 13 interceptions. Despite his success through the air, Howell has taken an astounding 55 sacks, which has forced the Commanders into negative field position all too often.
Veteran wide receiver Terry McLaurin leads the team with 60 receptions for 694 yards despite scoring only two touchdowns. Running back Brian Robinson has rushed for 611 yards and five scores while catching 29 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns. In a game which likely will produce some points, Washington's offense will have to be efficient to keep up with the high-powered Dolphins attack. See which team to pick here.
