Each club also has struggled to prove they’re the real deal when squaring off against the NFL’s better teams. Dallas had one win against a team with a winning record entering Week 16, a home-field verdict over the Philadelphia Eagles. Two, now that the Rams became 8-7 after their TNF win. The Dolphins lost to the Eagles – in fact they haven’t beaten a winning team all season long. Each of Miami’s 10 wins have come against .500 or worse teams.

So who wins when these two teams face each other? The football world awaits that answer.

Tua Tough at Home

Dolphins QB1 Tua Tagovailoa owns a .792 winning percentage on his home field. That’s the best number of any QB in NFL history with a minimum of 20 career starts. His passer rating at home is 114.5. Tagovailoa has thrown 15 TDs against four interceptions at Hard Rock Stadium.

Dallas QB1 Dak Prescott also sensational at home. He’s averaging 304 yards passing per game and a 74% completion rate. But he’s not at home this week. On the road, Prescott is averaging just 216 yards per game through the air, with a 63% completion rate. And five of his seven picks were thrown in away games.

Cowboys vs Dolphins Prediction

Dallas hasn’t lost a game at Miami since 1984. In their three games this season against winning teams, the Dolphins have lost by an average margin of 16.3 points. In fact, Miami hasn’t beaten a team with a winning record since October of 2022.
