2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 12

Miami Dolphins (6-4) at New York Jets (0-10)

Sunday, November 29, 1PM ET

The Miami Dolphins have been outstanding over the last few weeks (minus the Week 11 loss, of course), but that doesn’t mean they’ve been perfect. The defense has been sensational, while the offense under Tua Tagovailoa has been inconsistent at best.

That’s why the rookie was benched in Week 11 — it wasn’t just because of injury. Ryan Fitzpatrick gave the offense a spark when he was under center, while Tagovailoa has been more of a game manager in his four starts. Even then, the Miami offense often stalled with the rookie at the controls, which is why Fitzpatrick should get the start against the New York Jets.

Realistically, it’ll be an easy outing for the veteran. The Jets have been downright awful this season, which is why they currently sit at 0-10. The defense can’t get many stops, and the offense isn’t doing nearly enough to produce yards and points. Joe Flacco clearly isn’t the answer, and it’s not like he’s got much of a supporting cast.

Look for the Dolphins to bounce back in a big way in Week 12, handing Gang Green their 11th loss of the season. Miami isn’t ready to duck out of the postseason push and find themselves back in the hunt with an easy win against their divisional foes.

Prediction: Dolphins win 31-10
