Carolina Panthers vs. Miami Dolphins odds predictions pick betting line spread

[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.

NFL point-spread favorites may have wound up winning Week 11, but we were undeterred here in Underdog Corner.
We hit with the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts, who both wound up posting double-digit outright road wins, to notch our second straight 2-1 against-the-spread weekend and improve to a very profitable 24-9 (.727) on the season. Additionally, 20 of our 24 underdog covers have wound up winning their games outright.
Now it’s on to Thanksgiving Week and our Week 12 outlook.

NFL underdog predictions: Week 12

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Indianapolis Colts +3.5 (-125) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Yep, we’re right back on Indy drawing points again, and that has been a profitable play this year with the Colts owning a 5-2 ATS record as an underdog.

Overall, the Horseshoes are doing just fine as well, winning five of their last six to climb back above .500 at 6-5 and join the AFC’s jumbled playoff race.

Tom Brady and the Bucs throttled the visiting Giants 30-10 Monday night to end a two-game slide, but it has been a different story on the road this season for the defending champs, who are 2-3 SU and 0-5 ATS away from Raymond James Stadium.

Go with the red-hot COLTS (+3.5) catching the field goal plus a hook at home.

Miami Dolphins +2.5 (-108) vs. Carolina Panthers

These are two teams headed in the opposite directions, and the wrong side looks to be favored Sunday in South Beach.

The Dolphins have won and covered in three straight after a 1-7 SU, 2-5 ATS start while the Panthers are 2-6 SU/ATS after winning and covering their first three games.

Miami blitzed Lamar Jackson and the visiting Ravens into defeat two weeks ago and could do the same to Cam Newton and Carolina here. Take the DOLPHINS (+2.5) and the points and hit the Miami money line (+110) as well.

Minnesota Vikings +3.5 (-117) at San Francisco 49ers

The Vikings are well-seasoned in close games with nine of their 10 contests so far being decided by one score or less, including five by three points or fewer.

Minnesota also is 3-2 SU and 5-0 ATS as an underdog this season.

The Niners, meanwhile, have won and covered in two straight to get back to .500 for the first time since Week 4.

However, San Fran is only 2-9 SU at home and 5-11 ATS as a favorite since the start of the 2020 season, and so the trends definitely peg the VIKINGS (+3.5) as the play here.
