Dolphins vs. Ravens preview: Predictions, odds, and how to watch Sunday's game

The Miami Dolphins (11-4) travel to M&T Bank Stadium to take on the AFC’s top team, the Baltimore Ravens (12-3), for a Week 17 matchup.

The Baltimore Ravens are determined to secure the top spot in the AFC by winning against the Dolphins to help shape their playoff campaign. The Ravens have the best record in the NFL at 12-3 and are fresh off a 33-19 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. Quarterback Lamar Jackson had an outstanding game, completing 23 of 35 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns, adding fuel to the conversation of him being named the NFL's Most Valuable Player.

The Dolphins need to win their last two games of the regular season to secure the AFC No. 1 seed, currently held by the Ravens. In Week 16, the Dolphins defeated the Cowboys 22-20, and the offense, led by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, completed 24 of 37 pass attempts for 293 yards and one touchdown. Miami has the highest-scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 30.9 points per game. The Dolphins are strong on both sides of the ball, making them a tough opponent for the Ravens.

Week 17: Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens Predictions

BetMGM: Ravens will win

Staff writes: "The winning team model predicts the Ravens will win this Week 17 game with 57.8% confidence, based on game simulations, player injuries, offensive & defensive matchups and recent game results."

ESPN: Ravens have a 55% chance to win

According to the ESPN Matchup Predictor, the Baltimore Ravens have a 55.7% chance of beating the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.

Covers: Dolphins +3.5

Staff writes: "The Ravens have plenty of impressive defensive statistics as well, but their performance against the 49ers was slightly misleading when you consider that San Francisco’s offense had 429 total yards off of 6.3 yards per play. They’ve also had a few bad performances at home during the second half of the season when they allowed both the Browns and Rams to score more than 30 points. Even without my letdown game theory, I think the Dolphins can compete with the Ravens. We witnessed this last season and the year before that when the Dolphins emerged victorious in each matchup."
