Skip Bayless predicts the Dolphins will be DESTROYED by the Ravens this week in the much-awaited clash

The Miami Dolphins will face their biggest opponent of the season in Week 16 as they go against the Baltimore Ravens, the 12-3 team with the best record in the NFL. The outcome of the game will determine if the Dolphins are indeed a formidable team to go up against or if the only reason for their 11-3 record is because of their schedule this season. Skip Bayless of Undisputed on FS1 believes the Ravens will beat the Dolphins.

Here’s what the analyst said:

I think Miami is going to get destroyed...I covered a bunch of games there (Baltimore)...it felt loud in there, if the Ravens get up on you and get on a roll, they will STOMP on you.

The analyst gives the Dolphins no shot to win the upcoming matchup against the Ravens because he believes the home team has all the advantage.

Skip Bayless then added:

Can you outphysical the Ravens? No, you cannot and I think they will get punched in the mouth.

The analyst gave just one advantage to the Dolphins and that was the weather conditions expected on Sunday:

I'm going to give the visiting Dolphins one factor here, the weather,  Mother nature likes the Dolphins here. It's 49-degrees no clouds nothing...I don't know how Miami could ask for much better this time of year in Baltimore.

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have been on a tear this season

The weather can only do so much for the Dolphins, while it will be a bright and sunny day, it does not necessarily mean it will slow down the Ravens by any means. Lamar Jackson and Co are coming off a huge victory against the San Francisco 49ers, a win that has given the team a lot of momentum heading into Week 16.

While Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill are one of the more formidable duos in the NFL, the biggest question will be if they can hold up to the level of physicality posed by the Ravens’ defense. The Detroit Lions are known to be one of the more physical teams in the NFL on offense and defense. Skip Bayless cited their instance and how the Ravens made the Lions look like easy opponents.

Miami will need to play at a level they have not yet played at so far, if the team does not come in mentally and physically prepared to take a beating, they stand no chance to win against the Ravens. Lamar Jackson is playing at an elite level and is well within reach of winning his second MVP award, with all winds favoring the home team, the Dolphins have nothing short of a Herculean task ahead of them.
