We have a heavyweight matchup tonight on Sunday Night Football. I think homefield advantage and being able to stop the run are the main reasons I am leaning with the Philadelphia Eagles. Additionally, the Miami Dolphins have faced a very weak schedule, only facing one team with a winning record. I mentioned that the Eagles are able to stop the run and they haven’t allowed 100 yard rusher since week 9 of 2022.
