Current Odds:
- Spread: Dolphins -2.5, Titans +2.5
- Moneyline: Dolphins -135, Titans +114
- Over/Under: 37 points
Team Previews:
Miami Dolphins (1-2):
The Dolphins have had a rocky start to the season, especially with their quarterback situation. With both Tua Tagovailoa and Skylar Thompson sidelined due to injuries, Tyler Huntley will likely get the start. Miami has struggled offensively, ranking 32nd in points scored at just 11 points per game, but they have a strong ground game led by Devon Achane and a solid defense that ranks 11th in total defense.
Tennessee Titans (0-3):
The Titans are coming off a 30-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers, where quarterback Will Levis struggled, throwing two interceptions, including a pick-six. The Titans have struggled offensively, particularly in the run game, where Tony Pollard has only managed 158 rushing yards through three games. Defensively, Tennessee ranks fifth in total defense but has struggled against the run, allowing 124.3 rushing yards per game.
Key Factors:
- Miami’s Quarterback Situation: With Tyler Huntley likely starting, the Dolphins will rely heavily on their running game and defense to keep them competitive.
- Tennessee’s Turnovers: Will Levis has been prone to turnovers, and the Dolphins’ defense will look to capitalize on any mistakes.
Betting Picks:
Against the Spread: Miami is favored by 2.5 points. Given Tennessee’s turnover issues and Miami’s home-field advantage, taking Dolphins -2.5 seems like the better play.
Our Pick: Dolphins -2.5
Over/Under: With both teams struggling offensively, the Under 37 points looks like a safer bet.
Our Pick: Under 37
Final Prediction:
-
- Dolphins 21, Titans 18
Expect a close game, with Miami edging out a win and covering the spread in a low-scoring affair.
