Kansas City Chiefs vs Miami Dolphins Prediction: Expect a close outcome

In NFL play for week 9, the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs will square off against each other on Sunday at Frankfurt Stadium. Let's take a look at the matchup ahead of us and make a pick and forecast.

The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to extend their winning streak to seven games in order to maintain their position as the best team in the American Football Conference. The Kansas City Chiefs have been successful away from Arrowhead Stadium in three of their last four games. With a completion percentage of 68.8 percent, Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 2,258 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions so far this season. The combined efforts of Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, and Justin Watson have resulted in 944 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns, and Justin Watson has been responsible for 12 receptions. Isiah Pacheco is leading the Kansas City Chiefs in rushing with 459 yards and three touchdowns, and the ground attack for the team is averaging 105.1 yards per game. The Kansas City Chiefs have a defense that is allowing 16.1 points per game and 287.8 yards of total offense. On defense for the Kansas City Chiefs, Drue Tranquill has the most tackles with 48, while George Karlaftis has the most sacks and Mike Edwards has the most interceptions.

The Miami Dolphins are 7-2 on the season and are looking to make a statement by winning their next game. The Miami Dolphins have a record of 2-2 in their previous four games played away from home. Tua Tagovailoa has a completion percentage of 70.4% on his passes, accumulating 2,416 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions thus far this season. While Braxton Berrios has hauled in 20 receptions, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have combined for 1,494 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns between the two of them. The rushing attack of the Miami Dolphins is good for 151.8 yards per game on average, and Raheem Mostert is the team's leading rusher with 520 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Miami Dolphins give up an average of 25.5 points and 329.4 yards through their defense each game. The Miami Dolphins are led in tackles by David Long Jr. with 55, Bradley Chubb is tied for the team lead with 5 sacks and Xavien Howard has one interception.

The Miami Dolphins are now putting the finishing touches on their defensive unit, but they already have the greatest offense in the league across the board. The pass rush of the Miami Dolphins is getting better, and the team has now added Jalen Ramsey to the secondary. I'm going to go ahead and presume that Jevon Holland and Xavien Howard won't have any problems either. Absolutely, the Kansas City Chiefs are a fantastic team and ought to be favored based only on their reputation. To this day, the Dolphins and their ability to score free points represent the best value, especially considering the returns they are beginning to generate on defense. In a game that should be a priority for viewing on Sunday, I'll back the Dolphins with the point spread.
