by Joseph King | in NFL Prediction
Sunday Night Football in the NFL sees the LA Chargers hosting the Miami Dolphins at SoFi Stadium for this week 14 regular season matchup. The Chargers have been on a slide lately as a series of close losses has resulted in LA holding a 6-6 record. They now trail the Chiefs by three games in the AFC West and desperately need a win to stay alive in the playoff hunt. They’ll have to contend with a Dolphins team that will look to bounce back after seeing their five game winning streak snapped last week. Miami is 8-4 on the season and trail the Bills by a game in the AFC East.

Los Angeles Chargers - Miami Dolphins: Form Analysis
The Chargers come into this game off the back of a disappointing 27-20 loss to the Raiders. LA have now lost three of their last four games and find themselves needing a strong end to the season if they are to make the playoffs. The defense continues to be a problem for the Chargers, who have now given up more than 20 points to their opponents in their last four straight games. On the other side, the Dolphins were one of the league’s hottest teams before falling to a 33-17 defeat to the Niners last week. Miami had previously won five games in a row, the longest active winning streak at that time.

We’re going to back the Miami Dolphins to get the win and cover the -3 point spread in this game. It’s going to be difficult for the Chargers defense, which allows the third most points in the league, to stop this explosive Dolphins passing game with all the weapons they have at their disposal. Overall, Miami is the better team between the two and the slightly healthier side at the moment. Back the road team to get the job down here.
