T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins.

I like the Miami Dolphins to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Monday. The Dolphins are 1 of the hottest teams in the league by far. They started their year 1-7 but they have won 6 games in a row to get back to an even record and put themselves in the conversation for the playoffs. I like them to continue their hot streak here and win another game knowing that their last 2 games of the year are against some very tough opposing teams like the Titans and the Patriots so I think the Dolphins will want to take advantage and win this game here. Their offense has looked good in their games lately putting up 20+ points in 5 games in a row and they even put up 30+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games. Their offense has been good but their defense has been the real stars for them. In their last 6 games in a row, they haven't given up more than 10 points in 4 of those games and their defense has been really stout in those games. The Saints have won 2 games in a row and they just had a big win against the Buccaneers in their most recent game where they shut out Tom Brady and his offense with a 9-0 win. I think that was the game that the Saints players were really preparing for and I expect them to have a bit of a let down game here after that great performance. The Saints still have a bad QB situation going on and I think that the Dolphins are just a better team at the moment with the current active players. The Dolphins have been riding this momentum all year since they started their win streak and I think it is going to continue into this game. I like the Dolphins to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 23-10 Dolphins.
