Dolphins Host 49ers in Week 16 Matchup of Struggling Teams

Both teams, sitting at 6-8, face slim playoff hopes as they prepare for Sunday’s game in Miami.

The Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers, both with 6-8 records, are effectively fighting to keep faint playoff hopes alive in Week 16.
The Dolphins are slight favorites at home, with betting odds giving them a 1-1.5 point edge over the 49ers.
San Francisco’s offense has struggled recently, with quarterback Brock Purdy underperforming and the team scoring 10 or fewer points in three of their last four games.
Miami’s defense has been a bright spot, ranking sixth in total defense and holding Houston to just 181 yards last week, though offensive consistency remains an issue.
The game marks a reunion for Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who faces his former team, while both teams aim to salvage pride in disappointing seasons.
