Chris Perkins, Dolphins Columnist (1-4): Vikings 27, Dolphins 24

This is largely based on the Dolphins’ injury situation. Their depth is being tested in many areas, but perhaps the biggest issue is the cornerback situation. The Dolphins are ranked 28th against the pass and have given up numerous big plays. It’s also a major question how rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson will fare in his first NFL start. The Dolphins have won eight straight games at Hard Rock Stadium, but they will be hard-pressed to extend that streak.
