The Miami Dolphins will look for the franchise's first 6-1 start to a season since 1999 when they hit the road to face the Philadelphia Eagles in a Sunday Night Football showdown at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The last time the Dolphins started 6-1, Dan Marino was the quarterback and Jimmy Johnson was the coach. Both retired after that season. This year, Miami (5-1) features the NFL's most prolific quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, and one of the league's top young coaches, 40-year-old Mike McDaniel. Meanwhile, the Eagles (5-1) are coming off their first loss of the season at the Jets. 

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET. Philadelphia is a 3-point favorite in the latest Eagles vs. Dolphins odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 52.5.

Why the Eagles can cover

Philadelphia has the pass rush to slow down the Dolphins' offense. The Eagles rank fifth in the league in sacks (20) and second in quarterback hits (49). They are coming off a five-sack outing against the Jets. In the Dolphins' only loss this season, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sacked a season-high four times in Week 4 against the Bills. 

In addition, Philadelphia faces a potentially vulnerable Miami pass defense. The Dolphins rank 26th in the league in both opponent passer rating (98.9) and completion percentage (69.4). They also have just two interceptions this year, which is tied for the fewest in the NFL. See which team to pick here.

Why the Dolphins can cover

Tua Tagovailoa has been almost unstoppable to start the season. The left-handed quarterback leads the league in passing yards per game (312.7), yards per pass attempt (9.5) and passer rating (114.1). He also is tied for the NFL lead in passing touchdowns (14), which is the most by a Dolphins quarterback through six games since Dan Marino in 1994.

In addition, running back Raheem Mostert is having arguably the best season of his career. The 31-year-old running back has scored 11 touchdowns this year, which leads the league and is three more than his previous three seasons combined. He also has nine rushing touchdowns, which is the most by a Dolphin since Ricky Williams had 11 in 2009. See which team to pick here.
