The Miami Dolphins snapped a three-game losing streak with a 16-10 home win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7. Will the Dolphins go back-to-back with another win this coming Sunday against the Detroit Lions? The Lions are in a tailspin having lost all their last four games. The last time out, they came off the bye and lost to the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington in Week 7. Will the Lions end their winless drought when they play host to the visiting Dolphins? Check out our preview of this Dolphins vs Lions game in Week 8 of the 2022 NFL regular season.
Tua Tagovailoa returned to action after missing time and he led the Dolphins in Week 7 to a win. He had 261 passing yards and a touchdown with zero interceptions on 21/35 completions. Tagovailoa was far from perfect, but he could be much better against Detroit’s Swiss cheese defense that is getting abused on a weekly basis. The Lions are last in the NFL with 32.3 points allowed per outing.
The Dolphins are 5-5 against the spread in their last 10 games overall.
The Lions suddenly forgot how to score. After scoring at least 35 points in three of their first four games and at least 24 in any contests over that same stretch, the Lions have scored just a total of six points in two games since. However, running back D’Andre Swift could be finally returning to action in Week 8. A healthier offense for the Lions could get them scoring like they used to earlier this season when they face off with the Dolphins, who are allowing 23.6 points per game.
The Lions are 6-4 against the spread in their last 10 games overall.
