My gut (which unfortunately tries to expand uncontrollably during the holidays) tells me the Monday Night Football game between the Miami Dolphins and Carolina Panthers is going to be a defensive battle.
The Panthers, you should know, have the NFL’s fourth-best scoring defense, they allow the fewest first downs per game, they allow the second-fewest rushing yards per game, and are sixth in passing yards allowed per game.
And the Dolphins?
They roll into Charlotte with the NFL’s 32-ranked offense!
The Carolina offense has been nothing exceedingly special this year, either (ranked 24th in points per game) while the Dolphins’ defense has been solid on most fronts, including 16th in points allowed per game.
