Miami offense vs. Green Bay defense
Ray Lucas bombed in his seasons' first start by amassing six turnovers vs. a shaky defense. Now the Packers defense looms large as it leads the NFL in turnovers (23). Lucas will welcome the steady presence of Cris Carter, but their timing will likely be off. Chris Chambers will return from a concussion, yet he wasn't productive when Jay Fiedler was starting. The offensive production will depend on Ricky Williams. Green Bay hasn't allowed a running back to score in the last three games and has yielded just one 100-yard game. As run stuffer Gilbert Brown anchors the defensive line, look for the Packers to cram the line of scrimmage to prevent Williams from scampering for a huge day.
Green Bay offense vs. Miami defense
Blessed with a bye week, Brett Favre will play after spraining his knee in Week 7. He will wear a brace, though, which will limit his mobility. Don't expect rollouts and scrambles, making him an easy target for the ferocious Miami defensive line. Donald Driver and Terry Glenn will find it difficult to escape the league's best pair of corners. Look for Ahman Green to carry the offense; the Dolphins have allowed 400 total yards to Denver and Buffalo running backs in the past two weeks. Green has rushed for 224 yards and four touchdowns in the past two contests.
