ESPN
Analysis: "The Dolphins seek their second straight 3-0 start under Mike McDaniel, and they've got a great matchup waiting in their home opener. Miami's NFL-best passing offense (355 yards/game) faces the Broncos' 21st-ranked pass defense (233 yards/game) -- although Miami might be without wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who entered concussion protocol this week."CBS Sports
Analysis: "This is a long trip for the Broncos after losing two games at home. The Dolphins will be playing their home opener after going 2-0 on the road. The pressure is on Russell Wilson and the Denver offense. But this is not a good spot to try and get it going. Miami and Tua Tagovailoa will get the best of the Broncos as the Dolphins go to 3-0."Prediction: Dolphins 31, Broncos 23
Pro Football Network
Analysis: "This game sets up to be incredibly one-sided, even if the Miami Dolphins have only won their first two games by a combined nine points. The Denver Broncos (0-2) have lost to the Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders. The Dolphins have beaten the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots. Denver has a tough matchup here Denver’s defense has more leaks than the Iraqi Navy right now, and the Dolphins are the last offensive unit a struggling defense wants to see right now. Not only are they physically dominant, but they also scheme defenses out of their shoes. Additionally, Vic Fangio’s defense, theoretically, should be the worst possible matchup for Russell Wilson, who is now living solely off his ability to create or chuck it accurately downfield. Taking the downfield element away and forcing him to sustain drives would be bad news for Sean Payton."The Sporting News
Analysis: "The Broncos are in real danger of slipping to 0-3 under first-year coach Sean Payton, especially after considering Tua Tagovailoa is 15-4 at home as a starter. Tagovailoa has taken just one sack through two games. Russell Wilson, meanwhile, has taken nine sacks through two games. Miami is 4-2 ATS as a home favorite under Mike McDaniel."Prediction: Dolphins 28, Broncos 20
