OUR PREDICTIONS

TOM SILVERSTEIN

I’m not sure if you can play down to the level of a team with a better record, but the Packers have to avoid doing it Sunday against Miami. They’re an average team against great competition and need to be a great team against average competition. This game presents them with that opportunity. Packers 27, Dolphins 16 PETE DOUGHERTY

This is pretty much a must-win for the 3-4-1 Packers, who have tough road games remaining against Seattle, Minnesota and Chicago. Miami is 1-3 on the road, and Aaron Rodgers vs. Brock Osweiler is a mismatch.

The guess here is that’s enough for the Packers to prevail against a Miami defense. Packers 27, Dolphins 20 RYAN WOOD

The Dolphins have a pair of running backs who could make this an uglier game than anticipated.

They also have Brock Osweiler at quarterback. No way Aaron Rodgers loses at home to Brock Osweiler, not in a true, must-win situation. Packers 24, Dolphins 17 JIM OWCZARSKI

This game reminds me, in many ways, of the Packers’ last home game against San Francisco way back on Oct. 15. The Packers are the better team but it will be a struggle to finish the game as the offense (kind of) clicks and the defense does just enough with a key turnover to seal it. Packers 27, Dolphins 20 STU COURTNEY

This game needs to be more like the Packers’ 22-0 rout of the Bills and less like the 33-30 escape vs. the 49ers. After playing well in two straight losses, the Packers need to build on that against a mediocre Miami team. Look for Aaron Rodgers to play well enough to compensate for a suspect Green Bay defense. Packers 31, Dolphins 23
