I doubt the temperature is going to help the Packers. While they've been running the ball more consistently this year with Josh Jacobs, they're still a passing team that has a hard time holding on the ball in warmer weather. If the Packers want a W, they'll have to just outplay the Dolphins and not expect any kind of assist from the weather.
Just guessing, but I think LeFleur is going to ride the running game hard at least early in the game. Although the Dolphins defense is in the top 10, they have a problem defending the running game. Their tackling at the second level isn't up to snuff. They way Josh runs, he's going to rack up some early yards against them, just like he did against the Rams. It will start to wear them down.
Because of that success, the passing game will be a little better than we might expect. Especially in the middle of the field, at short and intermediate depths. We should exploit it, but without Doubs, not nearly as well as we should. I see Reed getting those shots this week. I think the Packers can score over 30 points against them to be honest.
Can our defense stop their offense. They can run the football. Achane & Mostert are a load. They're going to test our line, and Ingold can block with the best of them back there, so it's going to force us to play with that in mind. That will open up the game for Tua, and for the passing game. Tua can beat you in the air and on the ground. He's a real wild card out there.
I think the Packers need to score over 30 to win this one. I could see this easily being a 38-31 or 34 game to be honest. They're a better team than most people realize.
As you know, when it comes to opinions, there really is no "right or wrong" one.
