New Orleans Saints @ Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins haven’t been a relevant team in the NFL for a long time. However, last year they finished with a 10-7 record and barely missed the playoffs. It was still the best season they have had in a long time on the back of two quarterbacks.

Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick started the season and was absolutely phenomenal. After going 3-3 in first six weeks, the Dolphins forsook Fitzpatrick and decided to start rookie Tua Tagovailoa. He ended up going 7-3 throughout the rest of the season between the two of them.

The defense was also playing top-notch. Xavien Howard record the first double-digit interceptions season in years. Obviously, a lot can still happen in this offseason. They have players like Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Breida, and Ted Karras all unrestricted free agents.

When it comes down to it though, they are keeping all of their playmakers, and they have a plethora of draft picks that they can use to better their team in other places. It is definitely going to be a shootout between the Saints and Dolphins.
