Dolphins 31, Packers 21
Moneyline
Just go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game with the Dolphins being solid favorites at home. Taking Miami to win at home isn’t worth doing considering the odds for the Dolphins to secure the win.
Against the spread
DOLPHINS -3.5 (-108) is where I’m going in this game as I still don’t believe the Packers are necessarily a good team. Green Bay is on a 2-game winning streak, but those 2 wins came against an extremely shorthanded Los Angeles Rams team and a struggling Chicago Bears squad.
The Dolphins are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games against a team with a losing road record.
Over/Under
Even though the Dolphins have struggled to score in recent weeks, OVER 49.5 (-111) is where I’m leaning in this game. Miami should have more success against a Green Bay defense that has been inconsistent throughout the season. This game is one of the few not affected by ugly weather in Week 16.
The Packers have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games overall. The Dolphins have hit the Over in 5 of their last 7 games overall.
