Ben Rolfe writes: "The Cam Newton show rolls into Miami with both of these teams somewhat surprisingly still in the playoff race. Miami has surged back into the picture in the last three weeks with three victories thanks to their defense. Newton looked rusty in his first start this season, and the Panthers desperately need him at his best. The Dolphins’ defense will be the key to this matchup, and Miami has an incredible opportunity to go into their bye in Week 14 at 6-7 and still alive in the AFC playoff situation."

Andrew Buller-Russ writes: "Another defensive battle, the Panthers have more experience and better playmakers. We'll take CMC over a struggling squad led by Tua Tagovailoa."

Draft Kings: Panthers will cover in Week 12 game vs. Dolphins

Teddy Ricketson writes: "The enigma in this matchup is going to be the performance of Christian McCaffrey. The Panthers aren’t going to take advantage of the Dolphins' bad passing defense because quarterback Cam Newton can’t pass. Newton will likely scramble well, but the thing that is going to help the Panthers reach their offensive potential is CMC running the ball. This game should remain close, but I think CMC turns it on and is a problem with no answer for the Dolphins."

CBS Sports: Dolphins have been tough at home against the spread

Tyler Sullivan writes: "Welcome home, Cam Newton! Even in the loss to Washington on Sunday, Newton played well in his first start since returning to the Panthers, completing 77.7% of his passes and finding the end zone a total of three times. They'll now take on a Dolphins team that was able to earn its fourth win of the season after taking down the Jets on the road. Carolina has been superb on the road as of late as will head into Week 12 with a 10-2 ATS record in its last 12 road contests. That said, the Dolphins have played well at home as they boast an 11-4 ATS record in their last 15 home games."
