Rebuild in Washington
It was a tough season a year ago for Washington. The Commanders drafted Jayden Daniels out of LSU, and Jer’Zhan Newton out of Illinois. They both should be able to help this team. Daniel is slated as the starting quarterback. Marcus Mariota is planning to be the backup.
Brian Robinson Jr should still be the starter at the running back spot. But, Austin Ekeler has come over from the Chargers. Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson and Luke McCaffrey appear to be the leaders for the receiver positions. Zach Ertz is the starting tight end for the Commanders.
In the loss to the Jets, Daniels was 2 for 3 for 45 yards in the game. Michael Wiley was the key in the receiving game. He caught 8 passes for 34 yards and a touchdown. Robinson also caught five passes in the game. The Commanders will finish their preseason against the Patriots on August 25th. The first regular season game for Washington is at Tampa on September 8th.
McDaniels and the Dolphins
It’s another exciting season for the Miami Dolphins. The offense was one of the best in the league a season ago. Chop Robinson was the first round pick for the Dolphins. He projects to be one of the starting defensive players for the Dolphins. Miami could use help on the defensive side.
Tua Tagovailoa is the starting quarterback for the Dolphins. He still has Tyreek Hill as one of his top targets. The speedster is joined with Jaylen Waddle and Odell Beckham Jr. The right end for the Dolphins is projected to be Jonnu Smith.
In the Dolphins win over the Dolphins, rookie running back Jaylen Wright looked strong. He ran the ball 10 times for 55 yards and a touchdown. The Dolphins will open the regular season on September 8th against the Jaguars.
Dolphins Down Commanders
The Miami Dolphins are going to win this game at home. The Dolphins and Commanders may play guys more or less than the other team, but the Dolphins have more talent. The Dolphins are the better team. When push comes to shove, our final bet for this game is the Miami Dolphins -1 over the Washington Commanders. Enjoy the game and best of luck with all your National Football League betting!
