Live Wire: Dolphins at Packers on Thanksgiving Day ‘Thursday Night Football’

The Miami Dolphins (5-6) travel north to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers (8-3) on a special Thanksgiving Day edition of “Thursday Night Football.” These two teams have only met sixteen times in their history, with the Dolphins holding a 10-6 lead, although the Packers have won five of the last six meetings.

When the Dolphins lost Tua Tagovailoa to another concussion, Miami went just 1-3, and upon his return they lost two close games to the Cardinals and Bills. But since then, Miami has been on a roll. They won their last three games convincingly, beating the Rams by eight points, the Raiders by fifteen points and the Patriots by nineteen points.

Since losing to the Detroit Lions in early November, the Packers had their bye week, sneaking past the Bears by blocking a last-second field goal and then beating a Brock Purdy-less 49ers team. When their offense struggles like it did against the Lions and Bears, they have to fight to the hilt, but when the offense is clicking like it did last week against San Francisco, they can be very deadly.

Betting line and choice for the game

The people there FanDuel Sportsbook favor Green Bay in this game, with the betting line set to Packers -3.5 points. This is a potentially big game for the Lions, with the Packers nipping at their heels. At home, the Packers offense worries me, but let’s see if a Dolphins will emerge…

Prediction: Dolphins 24-21
