Week 12 at Miami Dolphins

Like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game in Week 7, San Francisco’s Week 12 contest on the road versus the Miami Dolphins is also a possibility for a Niners win.

The Dolphins experienced their own coaching changes this offseason with the hiring of head coach Adam Gase. But Miami still has plenty of question marks on both sides of the ball, especially on offense. Is quarterback Ryan Tannehill going to take that next step? Can the Dolphins get out of the lower tiers of offensive production after boasting an average of 19.4 points per game?

San Francisco will likely split their two Florida opponents’ matchups this season, and this one seems destined for a loss when considering the extended travel.

If you’re looking for ugly, poorly played contests this season, Week 12 might have everything you’re looking for.

Prediction: Loss
