The Miami Dolphins (7-8) still have a shot at making the playoffs when they visit the Cleveland Browns (3-12) in NFL Week 17 on CBS and Paramount+. Jason Sanders made five kicks to help the Dolphins stave off elimination in a 29-17 win against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Browns lost their 2024 home finale to the Dolphins on Sunday, 20-3. But there was more happening across the NFL in Week 17 than just Sunday’s matchup in Cleveland. Every week, we’ll go through the biggest storylines and examine narratives from around the NFL.

It’s not unanimous, but experts are overwhelmingly siding with the visiting Dolphins to get another win Sunday.

The NFL season continues for the Cleveland Browns Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Here's how our Browns writers predict Week 17 will go.

The Browns' defense can slow the Dolphins offensively. Myles Garrett and the defense allow 5.8 yards per play, which dips to 5.1 yards at home. The Browns' offense is a disaster. QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson does a nice job with his feet, but he’s a turnover machine. The Dolphins are in the top 10 in total defensive yards allowed and points allowed.

Chris Simms and Mike Florio discuss if the Miami Dolphins have what it takes to beat the New York Jets — in what could be Aaron Rodgers' last NFL game — to make a final push for the playoffs.

It was not a great week for the underdog in Week 17 in the NFL. Only 4 underdogs -- the Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants and Jacksonvile Jaguars -- covered the spread and only the Giants and Jaguars won their games outright.

The Tennessee Titans have achieved true betting infamy this NFL season. At 2-14 against the spread, the Titans currently have the worst against the spread record of any team in the Super Bowl era (the last 59 years) according to ESPN Stats & Information.

A win puts the Ravens on top of the AFC North and the No. 3 seed in the conference, and the biggest question for Mike Florio and Chris Simms is Baltimore's margin of victory against the Browns in Week 18.
