The Miami Dolphins head into Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season on a four-game winning streak, improving to 6-7 on the year. They are somehow back in the AFC playoff hunt – though climbing into the postseason picture is still an improbability. If they are going to make it back to the postseason this year, they are going to have to continue to pile up late-season wins, including this week as they visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.
The Steelers are leading the AFC North, but they are doing it with just a 7-6 record. That one game makes a big difference, however, as analysts see the Steelers as a threat in the conference while Miami is an also-ran. Monday night could shake up those perceptions, but the Dolphins are going to have to pull off an upset to make it happen.
The oddsmakers at FanDuel Sportsbook have the Steelers favored to defend Acrisure Stadium. The spread is 3.5 points in Pittsburgh’s favor, while the point total is 42.5. Miami is +156 on the moneyline while the Steelers are -186 for the straight-up win.
Miami running back De’Von Achane missed most of the Dolphins’ win over the New York Jets on Sunday with a rib injury. After the game, head coach Mike McDaniel indicated holding Achane on the sideline was more a matter of precaution with the game seemingly in hand from the opening kickoff, rather than a major injury that will cause him to miss more playing time. It will be interesting throughout the week, as more clarity of Achane’s status for the game against a Pittsburgh defense that allowed over 200 yards of rushing to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, to see if the line adjusts.
Kickoff for the game is at 8:15 p.m. Eastern on Monday.
