Miami Dolphins vs. Los Angeles Rams NFL Monday Night Football Preview

The Rams offense is finally close to full strength and should be better than their 12th-place ranking in DVOA.

At wide receiver, Cooper Kupp will play in just his fifth game. Puka Nacua will look to play in his first full game after an ejection cut his first healthy afternoon of the year last week.

Along the offensive line, Jonah Jackson (shoulder) and Steve Avila (knee) will both come off the injured reserve.

Matthew Stafford should time time to throw and receivers open against a Dolphins defense that ranks 22nd in pressure rate (20.4%) and 27th in DVOA against the pass.

From a clean pocket, Stafford has completed 74.5% of his passes for 7.7 yards per attempt with eight touchdowns and one INT compared to a 43.4% completion rate, 5.6 YPA, one touchdown and five interceptions when under pressure.

The Rams defense ranks only four spots better than the Dolphins, but they have a couple of things working in their favor.

First, they’ve been getting pressure at the second-highest rate in the NFL (29.1%). Per PFF, Tua Tagovailoa‘s turnover-worthy play rate goes from 0.8% from a clean pocket to 7.7% when pressured.

Secondly, the Rams may not be facing a fully healthy Tyreek Hill, who missed the last two practices of the week with a wrist injury and is listed as questionable.

The Dolphins have been the most overrated team in the market this season in terms of margin against the spread, failing to cover by 8.2 points per game.

Pick: Rams -135 (Bet to -160)
