Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Rams predictions

An injury to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wrecked the early part of the Miami Dolphins' season and at 2-6 they look set to miss the playoffs after making the post-season in the last two campaigns.

Tagovailoa missed four games due to concussion after taking a heavy hit to the head in Week Two and Miami have suffered two more narrow losses since he returned. The Dolphins' offence look more like themselves again, though, and Mike McDaniel's side can contribute to a high-scoring encounter against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

The Dolphins won an impressive 26 first downs in last week's 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills and outgained their hosts 373 yards to 325. A late defensive collapse led to their sixth loss of the season but they are capable of improving on their currently lowly position in the standings in the upcoming weeks.

The Rams have won three in a row since the returns of star wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua and this should be another entertaining affair. 

Before joining the Dolphins, McDaniel ran the 49ers' offence and he enjoyed plenty of success against the Rams. In his final year as San Francisco's offensive coordinator, the Niners averaged 29 points per game against Sean McVay's team.

The Rams have been thriving since their injury issues started to ease and QB Matthew Stafford and his offence have scored 56 points over the last two weeks in wins over the Vikings and Seahawks. 

This could turn into an end-to-end affair and the points tally could tick over the half-century mark for a third successive Dolphins game.
