Miami Dolphins vs Tennessee Titans NFL Week 15 Picks: Coming off must-wins, both the (7-6) Miami Dolphins [+4] and the (6-7) Tennessee Titans [-4] will fight to the end, as both look to sneak into the postseason. This AFC battle is scheduled to get underway on Sunday at 1 PM ET on CBS.
Miami enters this week trailing the Denver Broncos by a game and in a four-way tie for second place in the Wild Card standings with: New York, Baltimore and Jacksonville. Meanwhile, Tennessee, Pittsburgh and Houston trail the aforementioned teams by a game. The OVER/UNDER for this Fins-Titans game is set at 43 points.
The last time the Dolphins and the Titans met dates back to Week three of the 2006 season. Miami won the game on Olindo Mare’s 39-yard field goal that gave his team a 13-10 victory. The win gave the Fins 17-14 overall edge, as they’ve won seven of their past nine meetings with Tennessee.
Last week, Miami defeated the Jaguars, keeping their playoff hopes alive. "All I know is that we're one step closer than we were before we started today," coach Tony Sparano said. "There's no question this team feels they can go out and win every week. Right now, in December, that's all you can ask. We're 2-0 in December right now. That's important. A lot of teams wish they were 2-0 in December."
Tennessee also came away with a win after seeing their historic win streak snapped by Indianapolis two weeks ago. The Titans thrashed the lowly St Louis Rams 47-7. "Take one game at a time and worry about our next opponent," NFL leading rusher Chris Johnson said.
The only bad news for the Titans last week was that starting quarterback Vince Young suffered what coach Jeff Fisher referred to a mild strain. However, his status for this game is yet to be determined. "We'll see," Young said. "I don't want to speak too fast. Right now I just want to go in, rehab it and get it back strong."
