Monday Night Football Betting Preview: Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Rams
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
It's been a bit of a disastrous season for Miami. Missing Tua Tagovailoa for a good portion of the year made the offense anemic allowing them to fall to 2-6. Tagovailoa’s return has led to an uptick in the offense, averaging 375 yards and 27 points per game in the two contests. But the defense has gotten torched in the air by the Bills and Cardinals. In this matchup, they'll get Matthew Stafford and an arsenal of healthy receivers.
With Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back in the lineup, the Rams’ offense has come to life. In those two games, the Rams have averaged 376 yards and 28 points, which is a big jump from the 332.3 yards per game and 19 points per game that they averaged in the first six games of the season with those two banged up.
There are still a lot of questions about both of these defenses. The Rams and Dolphins rank 24th and 27th, respectively, in DVOA (defense-Aajusted value over average). Both are in the bottom quarter of the rankings when it comes to pass defense. Even with Tyreek Hill questionable for the Dolphins, they have enough playmakers with a healthy Tagovailoa to score here. With the firepower in both of these passing games, this should be a high-scoring game. I'll be on the over.
Pick: Total Over 48.5 Points (-112)
