The Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins are all set to square off in NFL Week 2. Take a look at three bold predictions for the game.

After an exciting first weekend in the NFL, the Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins are ready to face off Sunday afternoon. While the Chargers had the opportunity to play on Monday night, the Dolphins had their game cancelled because of Hurricane Irma. That being said, the verdict is still out on what to expect from the Phiins in 2017.

These two teams last met up last season, with Miami getting the win in San Diego, 31-24. If case you’ve blocked it from your memory, the Dolphins won because of a Kiki Alonso pick-six with one minute remaining in the game. Needless to say, it wasn’t Philip Rivers’ proudest moment as a Charger.

That being said, the Bolts will be seeing a much different Miami team this weekend, as Jay Cutler is the new guy behind center. His big-play ability brings a different dynamic to the Dolphins offense, which is great for receivers like Devante Parker and Kenny Stills.

As you can see, this is the type of play that can happen if the defensive-secondary is caught sleeping. Or in this case, the former Louisville Cardinals receiver made an incredible grab over the top. Did I mention that Parker had five receptions for 103 receiving yards in the game against San Diego last year?

Regardless, this Week 2 matchup between the Chargers and Dolphins could be one of the most entertaining games of the weekend. When you break these two down on paper, they are very similar, which means two or three plays could determine the final score.

Here are three bold predictions for the game on Sunday afternoon.
