Both teams enter this contest in a must-win situation.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins’ playoff hopes<\/a> are extremely slim, but they can keep their hopes alive with a win on Monday night. Meanwhile, the Steelers are in first place in the AFC North<\/a> and can keep a two-game advantage over the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> with a win.<\/p>\n

While the Steelers would only be one game up on the Ravens with a win, they also own the head-to-head tie-breaker for now after defeating Baltimore in Week 14, although the two teams still have one more contest left in Week 18.<\/p>\n

The Steelers also own the division record tie-breaker over the Ravens, but that may only be temporary with the Steelers having two more divisional games left and the Ravens having one. Pittsburgh is 3-1 in the AFC North, while Baltimore is 3-2.<\/p>\n

If the Steelers end up losing on Monday night, they would remain in first place going into Week 16 thanks to the aforementioned head-to-head tie-breaker.<\/p>\n

Now, a look at who experts believe will win the Week 15 game between Miami and Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

Steelers vs. Dolphins picks, predictions<\/p>\n

Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News:<\/a> Steelers 27, Dolphins 20<\/p>\n

Iyer: “Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers have flipped the narrative on the team’s play with just one big game at Baltimore. Now Pittsburgh faces a different 6-7 team trying to save its own coach, Mike McDaniel. Look for Jalen Rams<\/a>ey to make the winning play vs. Tua Tagovailoa to seal it as this cold road matchup is rough for Tua Tagovailoa.”<\/p>\n

Bill Bender, The Sporting News:<\/a> Steelers 22, Dolphins 19<\/p>\n

Bender: “The Steelers are in the AFC North lead \u2013 and Aaron Rodgers is coming off a season-high 284 passing yards in Week 14. The Dolphins have a plus-7 turnover ratio through a four-game winning streak. Miami is a tempting underdog here, but the early forecast is calling for snow. Will Tua Tagovailoa continue to flip that narrative? Pittsburgh is 1-3 ATS when favored by five points or less.”<\/p>\n
