It should come as no surprise that literally everyone is taking the Dolphins over the Giants on Sunday. However, if you’re looking for a small silver lining, most of the above experts anticipate the Giants will exceed their 11.5 points per game average and score between 14 and 27 in the loss.

We’re not sure how they reached that conclusion or what they’re seeing that we’ve missed over the first month, but they are optimistic the Giants remember that you’re supposed to put the ball in the end zone.

Meanwhile, all remaining experts from the NFL world are also picking the Dolphins. Fans agree, choosing Miami to drop the Giants at a 100 percent clip, according to NFL Pickatch.
