Rams at Dolphins: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Rams 24, Dolphins 17

Money line (?)

This has the makings of a trap game for the Rams:

  • A rookie QB making his first start with an extra week of prep with Rams coming off a bye.
  • L.A. having to travel across the country for an early 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
  • Weather forecast of rain and wind.

However, the defense is playing so well right now that I fully expect them to keep Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa in check. Take the RAMS (-176) to win straight-up.

Against the spread (?)

Surprisingly, the Rams are only 3.5-point favorites. That’s much lower than expected, especially after they just crushed the 5-1 Chicago Bears at home in Week 7. Tagovailoa is a talented quarterback and the unknown that comes with him starting under center has the spread lower, but the Rams clearly look like a better team. Take the RAMS -3.5 (-106) to cover the spread.

Over/Under (?)

With inclement weather possible and both defenses playing better than the offenses, all signs point toward the Under being the pick here. Both teams will try to run the ball, especially if the wind picks up and impacts the aerial attacks. The total isn’t very high, but it’ll still come in UNDER 45.5 (-106).

Previewing Saturday’s Virginia Cavaliers at Miami Hurricanes sports betting odds and lines, with college football betting picks, tips and predictions.

The Virginia Cavaliers (1-3, 1-3 ACC) and Miami Hurricanes (4-1, 3-1) meet at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff Saturday. Below, we analyze the Virginia-Miami college football betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 4:35 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: Virginia +345 (bet $100 to win $345) | Miami -455 (bet $455 to win $100)

Virginia at Miami: Three things to know

  1. The big concern for Virginia is under center as QB Brennan Armstrong (concussion) remains in concussion protocol. As such, UVA is reportedly considering a three-QB system, something it did in a 40-23 loss at Wake Forest last week. Lindell Stone started vs. the Demon Deacons, with Mississippi State grad transfer Keytaon Thompson and dual-threat freshman Iraken Armstead also seeing time.
  2. Miami bounced back after its blowout road loss to Clemson with a 31-19 win against Pittsburgh, narrowly cashing as an 11.5-point favorite last Saturday. The Hurricanes are a perfect 3-0 SU/ATS at home, and they have scored at least 31 points in each outing at Hard Rock.
  3. The Hurricanes offensive attack has been rather balanced, averaging 228.0 passing yards per game to rank 42nd in the country, with 179.0 rushing YPG to check in at 22nd. Those numbers would be even higher, but they only had 89 yards on the ground and 121 through the air at Clemson.

Virginia at Miami: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Miami 41, Virginia 17

Money line (ML)

Backing Miami (-455) on its home field is tempting, but this price is just way too expensive. AVOID and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread (ATS)

MIAMI -13.5 (-115) is a great play. Yes, the Hurricanes didn’t measure up against Clemson a couple of weeks ago, but not many do. The ‘Canes have been lights out on their home field, winning and covering all three times, and their offense has been great in doing so. It helps when UAB, Florida State and Pitt are the opponents in those games, but Virginia is in that same class. The Cavs’ three-QB system won’t befuddle the Hurricanes, either. In fact, it will likely work to the detriment of continuity for the Hoos.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 55.5 (-110) is the way to go. It has cashed in all four games for Virginia, mainly due to a lack of defense. It has coughed up 34.8 PPG, good for just 62nd in the land. And the Cavaliers have allowed 40.5 PPG in two road outings, too. Look for the Hurricanes to add to their woes in a high-scoring game.
