Miami Dolphins (6-7) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) Preview

Miami comes into Monday night looking to reassert its offensive identity after an inconsistent stretch marked by protection issues and uneven efficiency on early downs. When the Dolphins are at their best, they play with speed and spacing, stressing defenses horizontally before attacking vertically. The challenge tonight is doing that against a Steelers defense that excels at limiting explosives and forcing opponents to sustain long drives.

Pittsburgh counters with a physical, defense-first approach that has kept them competitive in nearly every game. Their pass rush remains the centerpiece, capable of changing games without heavy blitzing, and they are particularly strong on third down at home. Offensively, the Steelers tend to lean conservative early, emphasizing ball security, field position, and efficiency over explosiveness.

Weather in Pittsburgh is expected to be cold but manageable, which typically benefits the Steelers’ style of play. From a betting perspective, Pittsburgh’s home-field advantage and defensive consistency make them a popular side, but Miami’s speed gives them a path to flipping the script if they can hit a few early explosives. The total reflects uncertainty around offensive consistency, suggesting a game that could swing dramatically based on turnovers or short fields.
