The Miami Dolphins will look for their first victory of the 2026 season when they face the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Here’s a roundup of national predictions on this game.<\/p>\n

Albert Breer: 49ers<\/p>\n

Eva Geitheim: 49ers<\/p>\n

Mitch Goldich:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

Mike Kadlick: 49ers<\/p>\n

Gilbert Manzano:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

Conor Orr:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

John Pluym:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

Matt Verderame:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

Jarrett Bell:\u00a049ers 38, Dolphins 13<\/p>\n

Nick Brinkerhoff: 49ers 35, Dolphins 14<\/p>\n

Chris Bumbaca:\u00a049ers 27, Dolphins 17<\/p>\n

Nate Davis:\u00a049ers 37, Dolphins 13<\/p>\n

Adam Kaufman:\u00a049ers 31, Dolphins 13<\/p>\n

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz:\u00a0 49ers 34, Dolphins 17<\/p>\n

Analysis:\u00a0The Dolphins look lost offensively, not a surprise with little to help the running of Malik Willis and De’Von Achane. The talent and experience is bare in relation to what the 49ers have with Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers’ defense also has great momentum from Week 1 and will stay hot at home.<\/p>\n

Prediction:\u00a049ers 38, Dolphins 13<\/p>\n

Matt Bowen: 49ersMike Clay:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

\u2022 Jeremy Fowler:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

Dan Graziano:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

\u2022 Kalyn Kahler:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

Pamela Maldonado:\u00a049ersEric Moody:\u00a049ersJason Reid:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

\u2022 Benjamin Solak:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lindsey Thiry: 49ers<\/p>\n

Seth Wickersham:\u00a049ers<\/p>\n

Analysis: There won\u2019t be nearly as much hype as when these two teams met in Super Bowl XIX, but the outcome should be similar. If not identical.<\/p>\n

Prediction:\u00a049ers 38, Dolphins 16<\/p>\n

Jeremy Bergman:\u00a049ers 38, Dolphins 16<\/p>\n

Brooke Cersosimo: 49ers 33, Dolphins 16<\/p>\n

Gennaro Filice:\u00a049ers 26, Dolphins 14<\/p>\n

Bobby Kownack:\u00a049ers 30, Dolphins 16<\/p>\n

Dan Parr:\u00a049ers 31, Dolphins 10<\/p>\n

Analysis:\u00a0The Dolphins stayed on the West Coast after losing to the Raiders, while the\u00a049ers\u00a0have extra rest after playing last Thursday. That matters for an older team. But they are also the better team. This will get out of hand.<\/p>\n

Prediction:\u00a049ers 29, Dolphins 10<\/p>\n

Zach Berman: 49ers
Chad Graff: 49ers
Jon Greenberg: 49ers
Larry Holder: 49ers
Josh Kendall: 49ers
Nick Kosmider: 49ers
Steve Louis Goldstein: 49ers
Austin Mock: 49ers<\/p>\n

Miami Dolphins On SI<\/p>\n

Analysis:\u00a0The reflex when looking at this game is to suggest an absolute mismatch, particularly after the results of Week 1, but things change drastically every year for team between that first and second game. And maybe the 49ers aren’t quite as dominant as they were against the Rams and maybe the Dolphins won’t be quite as lackluster as they were against Las Vegas. This is also were we’d remind everybody that the biggest underdog in Week 1 was the Arizona Cardinals, and they not only upset the L.A. Chargers, they dominated them. Now, we’re going to go so far as predicting the same outcome here, but we get a feeling this game will be closer than anticipated. Unfortunately for Miami fans, the talent disparity will show up in the end.<\/p>\n

Prediction:\u00a049ers 27, Dolphins 17<\/p>\n
