PALM BEACH POST PREDICTIONS
Luke Kuechly and Thomas
Davis may be the best linebacker duo in the NFL. This is a problem because they can hunt Jay Cutler, attack Kenyan Drake and Damien Williams on rushes and after receptions and disrupt all those short passes to Jarvis Landry. Panthers defensive tackle Kawann Short is a monster. Miami’s best
chance on offense is taking deep shots to DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills. But will Cutler have time?

The Dolphins are in danger of falling below .500 for the first time this season, but never fear, the Jupiter Juggernaut is here! Miami kicker Cody Parkey will redeem himself from the recent missed extra points and go a perfect 6 for 6 on field goals to outlast Carolina and deliver the Dolphins their biggest win of the year.

I put a lot of stock in a good offensive line. The Dolphins will never have their ideal starting five on the field this year. Just as Ted Larsen gets healthy, Ja’Wuan James packs up for the year. Not a good time to be playing the league’s No. 1 defense.

Cam Newton isn’t having a great passing year, but at 6-foot-6 and
260 pounds, he isn’t afraid to take off running for third-down conversions and goalline payoffs. Altogether, this looks like a tight and somewhat ugly affair, with little room for error by the error-prone Miami offense.
