NFL Week 5 Survivor Pool Tips: Best Picks and Strategies to Stay Alive | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Miami Dolphins showed that their offense isn't unstoppable during a 48-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. However, there are a couple of important factors to consider from that game.

For one, Buffalo did an excellent job of limiting top Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill (three catches, 58 yards). Few teams are going to meet the challenge as successfully. Secondly, the Buffalo crowd did a remarkable job of disrupting Miami's offensive communication.

"I don't know how in our world it can get any louder. It sounded like jet engines," Bills head coach Sean McDermott said, per Nick Wojton of Bills Wire.

Miami shouldn't have communication issues at home against the New York Giants this week. They should also be able to withstand a Giants offense that might not have Andrew Thomas and Saquon Barkley back from injury.

New York has averaged just 11.5 points per game. The Dolphins are 11-point favorites this week.

The Giants have struggled against the pass and rank 27th in yards per attempt allowed, 19th in total yards allowed and 30th in points allowed.

This is a horrible matchup for the Giants and a great one for players looking to ride Miami in order to survive another week.
