Carolina Panthers at Miami Dolphins odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Carolina Panthers (0-5) face the Miami Dolphins (4-1) Sunday in Week 6 NFL action. Kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Dolphins odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers fell to 0-5 on the season after losing 42-24 at the Detroit Lions last Sunday. Rookie QB Bryce Young had his best statistical game, throwing for 247 yards and 3 touchdowns but also 2 interceptions. Veteran WR Adam Thielen hauled in 11 balls for 107 yards and a touchdown. Carolina’s defense has failed them, allowing over 33 points per game over their last 3. It has failed to cover the spread in any game this season.

Miami bounced back in Week 5 with a 31-16 win over the New York Giants after being thoroughly dominated the week prior by the Buffalo Bills. They easily covered the 13-point spread at home. QB Tua Tagovailoa threw 181 of his 308 total passing yards to WR Tyreek Hill in the victory. The Dolphins are producing 513.6 yards of offense per game, which is tops in the NFL.

The last time these teams met was in Nov. 2021 in Miami, and the Dolphins won 33-10 as 1-point favorites. The Dolphins have split against the Panthers over their last 4 meetings but are 3-1 against the spread (ATS).

Panthers at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 41, Panthers 17

Moneyline

PASS.

As confident as I am that the Dolphins will win this game, you just cannot bet them at -1000 on the moneyline. Look to the spread in this one.

Against the spread

BET DOLPHINS -14 (-110).

Normally, I have a rule against betting any NFL team giving double-digit points, but in this case, I’ll make an exception. I just don’t see any way the Panthers keep this game within 2 touchdowns. Young will continue to take his lumps as a rookie and get taken to the woodshed by an offensive juggernaut.

I am actually interested in betting the Dolphins at -13.5 which you can do on BetMGM on an alternate line at a juice of -120 right now.

Over/Under

BET OVER 47.5 (-110).

I am confident that this game will get Over this total. No doubt that the Dolphins will do their part averaging 50.5 points per game at home. Can the Panthers do their part? I think they can knowing Miami is allowing 27 points per game.
