Carolina Panthers at Miami Dolphins: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 6 game

The Miami Dolphins (4-1) seek to continue their winning ways at home by hosting the lowly Carolina Panthers (0-5) at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Dolphins have won both games at home so far this season, including a historic 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos Week 3. Their lone loss so far this year was on the road against the division rival Buffalo Bills. Tua Tagovailoa threw two interceptions in last week's win, but is first in the league with 1,614 passing yards. Rookie running back De'Von Achane is out with a knee injury after posting three consecutive 100-yard games.
The Panthers are waiting to get their first win of the season after rookie quarterback Bryce Young has struggled with injury. Last week, they were handed a 42-24 loss at the hands of the Detroit Lions where he threw for 247 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.

Tyler Dragon: Dolphins 30, Panthers 20
Panthers rookie QB Bryce Young is still looking for his first NFL win. The Panthers are going to have a difficult time keeping pace with Miami’s high-powered offense. The Dolphins have the top scoring offense in the NFL. Tua Tagovailoa leads the NFL in passing yards and Tyreek Hill has the most receiving yards in the league entering Week 6.
Victoria Hernandez: Dolphins 32, Panthers 20
The Dolphins offense will miss De'Von Achane, but Tua Tagovailoa has Jaylen Waddle back and he injects the team with pure fun. Last week's performance wasn't pretty, but Miami got back in the win column. The Panthers don't have enough talent around Bryce Young to give him space to breathe against this electric team.
Safid Deen: Dolphins 31, Panthers 14
The Dolphins lost the NFL’s second-leading rusher De’Von Achane to a knee injury and injured reserve, but the league’s most potent offense won’t have troubles against the upstart Panthers. Tua Tagovailoa welcomes his Alabama mate Bryce Young to Miami and sends him home with a loss.
