NFL Week 16 Picks: Can The Bengals Get Past The Broncos?

Minnesota Vikings at Miami Dolphins (-6.5)

It’s almost as if the Dolphins would rather fly under the radar. All season, people refused to buy into Miami, and it took a 37-0 beating of the Chargers to grab everyone’s attention. Immediately after gaining said recognition, the Dolphins promptly dropped four of their next six games, and fell virtually out of a playoff spot.

Miami’s last hope to stay alive comes in the form of the vastly improved Vikings – 4-3 in their last seven games. Since Week 6, Minnesota has only lost one game by more than a touchdown — in Chicago — but its last four wins came against the Jets, Panthers, Falcons, and Buccaneers.

The Dolphins were busy losing to Patriots, Ravens, Broncos, and Lions.

Miami, with an opportunity to rebound from a crushing defeat in New England, keeps its playoff hopes alive with a two touchdown victory at home, beating the spread.
