Dolphins vs Saints MNF Week 16 NFL Betting Preview and Stream
NFL Regular Season — Week 16 Game
Miami Dolphins (7-7, 2-4 Away) vs. New Orleans Saints (7-7, 2-4 Home)
Date: Monday, December 27, 2021
Time: 8:15 p.m. EST
Venue: Caesars Superdome — New Orleans, LA
Coverage: ESPN+
The Dolphins have turned their season around by winning six games in a row. However, they haven’t faced anyone good, with their wins coming against the Jets twice, Giants, Texans, Panthers and Ravens. This is a prove-it game for the Dolphins tonight. Most of all, it is a prove-it game for second-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
The Saints have done well to keep their heads above water this season and put themselves in a position to make the playoffs. They are coming off one of the most impressive defensive performances of the season, as they shut out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Clearly, their defense is not the worry tonight. Rather, the fact that they will be giving Ian Book his first NFL start is of some concern. Reportedly, the Saints have reached out to Philip Rivers and Drew Brees for the last few games, and they may raise their offer depending on what happens tonight.
