Why the 49ers can cover
Nick Bosa is having another impact season off the edge. The No. 2 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Bosa leads the league in quarterback hits with 30, six more than any other player. He also ranks third in the league in sacks (11.5) and has a sack in five straight games.
Bosa could be facing a Miami team without both of its starting offensive tackles. Right tackle Austin Jackson is out with an ankle injury. Left tackle Terron Armstead is listed as doubtful because of a pectoral strain he suffered last week against Houston. See which team to pick here.
Why the Dolphins can cover
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is on a roll. Over his last five games, the 6-foot, 217-pound southpaw has thrown 11 touchdowns against zero interceptions and has a passer rating of 119.7. Miami won those five games by an average score of 30-20.
In addition, the Dolphins have arguably the league's best receiver in Tyreek Hill. The game-breaking wideout leads the NFL in receiving yards per game (112.1) and ranks second in receptions (87), just four behind Stefon Diggs, who played on Thursday night. Hill has 21 catches of 20-plus yards this season, which is tied for the most in the league with the Vikings' Justin Jefferson. See which team to pick here.
