5 Bold Predictions For Chargers vs. Dolphins

The red hot Miami Dolphins will play host to the spiraling San Diego Chargers on Sunday morning, but don’t expect this matchup to be a blowout for the Phins. This one is going to be a brawl, and it will more than likely come down to the final seconds. Here are five bold predictions for the matchup in The Magic City.

I see Miller busting off a few big runs in this matchup. The third-year running back has been pretty good this season, but he has only gone over 100 rushing yards once -- mostly due to lack of carries. I think he will get 22-25 carries against San Diego, and break into the triple digits.

Because San Diego sees this as a must-win, anything goes in this one. Rivers will line up at the five-yard line, drop back and see that no one is open, and derp it all the way into the end zone for the score.

The last time Wallace broke 100 receiving yards was last year on Dec. 15, against the New England Patriots. That means Wallace has been held to just double digits for nine straight games now. San Diego has been pretty good against the pass, but Wallace is overdue.

The Chargers are losers of two straight games and suddenly find themselves in a very important matchup against the Dolphins. If there is even a chance Mathews can play this week, then expect him to be on the field and provide a major boost to the Chargers’ offense.

Tannehill will do his best Peyton Manning impression and crush the Chargers’ D in the red zone, which will ultimately deliver a win for Miami.
