Alright, listen up — Big Dill on the mic and this one’s a low-key chess match down at Huntington Bank Field. The Browns have been trudging through an offense that can’t seem to find daylight — coach Kevin Stefanski saying he’ll keep calling plays while he hunts for answers tells you everything: this unit is desperate to produce. Meanwhile the Dolphins are coming off a tough stretch and need Tua Tagovailoa to be sharp (projections peg him around 250.6 pass yards and 1.6 TDs as of now) if Miami wants any chance to hang in a game that smells like a grind.

Matchups to watch: Cleveland’s top playmakers — Jerry Jeudy (projected ~60.7 receiving yards) and David Njoku — will need to beat press coverage and create chunks because the Browns can’t rely on volume right now. On the other side, Tyreek Hill is the game’s X-factor (projected ~66.8 receiving yards); NFL injury notes say Hill is expected to play while Jaylen Waddle is unlikely to suit up, so Miami’s route tree could be top-heavy with Tyreek doing the heavy lifting, as of now. 

This one feels like survival-of-the-fittest for each offense. Cleveland’s run plan with Quinshon Judkins (projected ~53 rush yards) will try to shorten the game and keep Tua off rhythm, while Miami wants chunk plays to flip field position and exploit Cleveland’s struggling offense. Turnovers and third-down efficiency are the pressure points — whichever QB protects the ball and keeps drives alive will likely win.

Bottom line from Big Dill: expect a physical, low-scoring affair where splash plays swing momentum. Cleveland’s home-field edge and offensive urgency give them a slight edge, but this game will come down to whether Miami’s top weapons (especially Tyreek) can make game-changing plays without Jaylen Waddle in the mix, as of now. Stay tuned — ballin’ is a big dill, and this one’s a grindy dill.
