"Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist (Season record: 8-7): Buccaneers 24, Dolphins 14 It's hard to predict a victory with Quinn Ewers at quarterback. Plus, the defense is coming off one of its worst performances and it won't have safety Minkah Fitzpatrick again. Oh, yeah, the Bucs need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive, while the Dolphins have no playoff hopes."
"The reeling Buccaneers have lost six of their last seven games, but still control their own playoff destiny. If they win their final two games against Miami and Carolina, they will win their fifth straight division title. But if they lose to the Dolphins and the Panthers beat the Seahawks this weekend, the Bucs will be eliminated. Facing elimination, I don't see Tampa Bay losing to Miami."
Projections favor the Buccaneers to defeat the Dolphins by a margin of roughly a touchdown. Tampa Bay retains control of its playoff destiny and must win to stay alive in the division race. Miami enters with quarterback uncertainty under Quinn Ewers and recent defensive struggles, including the absence of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Tampa Bay has lost multiple recent games but is portrayed as more motivated. Predicted scores cluster in the mid-20s for the Buccaneers and the mid-to-low 20s or teens for the Dolphins, indicating a competitive game with a Buccaneers edge.
