NFL Monday Night Football Same Game Parlay: Dolphins vs. Steelers (Week 15)
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Miami Dolphins vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
- Leg 1: Steelers -3 (-115)
- Leg 2: Aaron Rodgers Over 20.5 Completions (-119)
- Leg 3: De’Von Achane 16+ Rushing Attempts (-192)
Can the Steelers right the ship? They've lost five of their last eight games, and the once sizable lead in the AFC North is now just one game. The issue is inconsistency; the defense has been among the league’s worst, giving up 23.9 points per game (20th). The defensive line was expected to be one of the best, but they are only 20th in pressure rate at 20.8%. Now, they will be without their star, as T.J. Watt will miss this game after surgery this week for a collapsed lung.
Aaron Rodgers has the potential to continue his momentum coming off a season-high 284 passing yards and the third time he's reached 23+ completions. There could be similar success in this game, as Rodgers averaged 306.5 yards and 25.5 completions in two games last year against Miami, and the Dolphins rank 17th in completions allowed per game (20.9).
It will be a tough challenge for the Dolphins to make the playoffs. After starting with a 1-6 record, they are 5-1 since and need to win out plus get a lot of help to have a chance. The conditions of this game will make it tough for Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami offense. It will feel like 9 degrees at kickoff, and Tagovailoa has struggled in cold weather, going 0-8 when the temperature is below 32 degrees. With Watt gone, look for Miami to attack this game on the ground against a struggling Steelers defense that is 18th in yards allowed per carry (4.4) and 28th in stuff rate (13.5). During this four-game winning streak, De'Von Achane has seen heavily usage with 20+ carries in three of those games.
Despite the Steelers being the inconsistent team coming into this game, having not won back-to-back games since Week 3-4, they are the confident pick. The track record of Tua Tagovailoa having never won in cold weather makes it tough to back him. In addition, he's putting up some of the worst numbers of his career, including a career low of 86.4 passer rating.
