The Chiefs are 11.5-point favorites this week, with predictions showing they will have the 9th-lowest pass rate at 54.8% and the game is expected to feature the 3rd-lowest total of 122.1 plays, while opponents have averaged 30.2 pass attempts per game against the Dolphins since last season.
The model predicts the Miami Dolphins will have a 44.2% run rate, with De'Von Achane expected to receive 18.4 rush attempts this week, ranking him in the 94th percentile among running backs and reflecting a 71.8% share of his team's rushing play calls this year, also placing him in the 96th percentile, while he averages 67.0 adjusted rushing yards per game, ranking in the 95th percentile among RBs since last season.
The Dolphins are heavy underdogs at -11.5 points, indicating a likely focus on passing against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the 4th-highest completion percentage and the 10th-most yards after the catch since last season.
The Chiefs, with strong offensive potential and facing a weak Dolphins defense, are expected to perform well, while Xavier Worthy, leading in target share and targets, is favored over Rashee Rice in Week 3.
Kenneth Walker is expected to score against a weak run defense, with increased opportunities for him and Emmett Johnson.
The Dolphins have struggled to cover tight ends this season, allowing George Kittle to score a touchdown and gain 80 yards last week, and Michael Mayer and Jack Bech to combine for nine catches, 55 yards, and a score in the season opener, while Travis Kelce has been effectively schemed open by the Chiefs.
