Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Houston Texans (8-5) come off their bye week to host the Miami Dolphins (6-7) on Sunday during NFL’s Week 15. Kickoff from NRG Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Dolphins vs. Texans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Houston begins a crucial period for postseason positioning with 3 games in 11 days against the Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens. The squad hopes C.J. Stroud can regain his rookie-year form; the Ohio State alum has just 2 passing games of 300-plus yards this season, compared to 6 last year.

On the bright side, the Texans won 2 of their 3 games heading into their Week 14 bye, including a 23-20 survival win over the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13. Houston still holds the pole position in the AFC South, which would guarantee them a first-round home game.

Miami sits outside the playoff picture, but remains in the hunt thanks to winning 4 of its past 5 games. This run was stressfully punctuated by its own fortunate escape last time out, a 32-26 overtime win against the New York Jets.

Unlike Stroud, Tua Tagovailoa has thrived lately, averaging 325.3 passing yards and 2.8 TD with an absurd 75.1% completion rate across his past 4 outings. The Dolphins QB looks to be rounding back into form after another stint of missed time due to post-concussion symptoms.

Dolphins at Texans picks and predictions

Prediction

Texans 27, Dolphins 24

Moneyline

Houston lost after its Week 7 bye last year during DeMeco Ryans’ first season as head coach. However, though many pundits point to records after off-weeks, Ryans only has one week of history, so we’re not going to overvalue it.

Favor the Texans with their late bye week.

BET TEXANS (-150).

Against the spread

Both clubs have disappointed their sportsbook markets on the line this year. Houston has gone 5-6-2 ATS overall, plus 2-3-1 at home. Miami is 5-8, including 3-3 on the road.

Somebody has to win this spread. Should bettors try to guess?

The above prediction of a 3-point win should signal that bettors likely won’t gain an edge from either side. Focus on the next section instead.

PASS.

Over/Under

In the strongest tip of this game, back the point total to exceed the line.

A refreshed Houston offense facing Miami’s track-meet attack on an indoor surface should lead to plenty of scoring.

BetMGM offers a favorable floor for our predicted total score. Those looking to squeeze more out of the scoreboard should lock in FanDuel Sportsbook‘s alternative line of Over 50.5 (+140).

BET OVER 47 (-110) at BetMGM or BET OVER 50.5 (+140) at FanDuel.

New York Jets at Miami Dolphins odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Jets at Miami Dolphins odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New York Jets (3-9) and Miami Dolphins (5-7) meet Sunday. Kickoff from Hard Rock Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Jets vs. Dolphins odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Jets’ struggles continued with their 3rd straight loss, falling 26-21 to the visiting Seattle Seahawks. Despite entering as 1.5-point favorites, New York couldn’t deliver and the Over (42) cashed. QB Aaron Rodgers threw 2 touchdowns, including one to WR Davante Adams, but failed to hit 200 passing yards for the 3rd game in a row — Rogers finished with 185 passing yards and 1 interception. His costly pick-6 to DL Leonard Williams in the 3rd quarter proved pivotal, sparking the Seahawks’ comeback and another tough defeat for the Jets.

The Dolphins had a 3-game win streak snapped Thanksgiving night with a 30-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. They couldn’t cover as 3.5-point road underdogs and the Under (47.5) hit. QB Tua Tagovailoa carried the offense with 365 yards and 2 touchdowns, but the run game stalled as Miami only rushed for 39 yards.

This is the Jets-Dolphins first meeting of the season. They’ll face off again in Week 18 at the MetLife Stadium.

Jets at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 35, Jets 17

Moneyline

PASS.

The Dolphins (-275) should bounce back in Week 14 with a win over the struggling Jets. New York’s season has unraveled, and it will be missing a key weapon in RB Breece Hall. Miami’s playoff hopes as a Wild Card remain alive, but it can’t afford more losses. Expect the Dolphins to deliver at home.

Against the spread

BET DOLPHINS -6 (-105).

The Jets are a disaster, which all ties back to Rodgers. The team gave the QB everything he wanted, and it completely backfired, costing both the coach and GM their jobs. The Jets have failed to cover the spread in 8 of their last 9 games, while the Dolphins covered 4 straight before the Thanksgiving loss to the Packers.

The Jets defense has been a letdown all season. Missing LB C.J. Mosley and likely CB Sauce Gardner won’t help them Sunday. The defense has allowed 28.3 points per game over the last 3 outings.

On the other side, the Dolphins are thriving offensively with Tagovailoa back under center, averaging 27.0 points per game over the last 6 contests, well above their season average.

Miami should cruise at home and easily cover this line against a depleted Jets team.

Over/Under

BET OVER 45 (-110).

Since Tagovailoa’s return, the Dolphins offense has been on fire, as mentioned with its 27.0 PPG over the last 6 matchups. Miami has gone Over the total in 4 of those games and in its last 4 at home.

On the other side, the Jets’ defense has fallen apart, giving up the 28.3 PPG over the last 3 and hitting the Over in the last 2.

With Miami’s explosive offense facing a struggling, injury-riddled Jets defense, expect the Dolphins to score big and keep the Over trend going.

Miami Dolphins at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Miami Dolphins at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Miami Dolphins (5-6) ring in the holidays against the Green Bay Packers (8-3) with a Thanksgiving Day game. Kickoff Thursday from Lambeau Field is set for 8:20 p.m. EST (NBC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Dolphins vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Phins have won 3 straight after a 34-15 win over the New England Patriots as 7.5-point favorites. QB Tua Tagovailoa is rounding into form as he threw for 317 yards and 4 TDs. WR Jaylen Waddle (8-144-1) and TE Jonnu Smith (9-87-1) balled out in the victory.

The Packers have won 2 straight and 6 of 7 games after a 38-10 beatdown of the beat-up San Francisco 49ers. They were 6-point faves in that one. RB Josh Jacobs controlled the game with 26 carries for 106 yards and 3 TDs. QB Jordan Love didn’t have to do a whole lot as he was 13-for-23 for 163 yards and 2 scores.

Dolphins at Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 24, Dolphins 20

Moneyline

It’s slated to be 27 degrees for this game, and Miami is a warm-weather team that will likely flounder in the cold. However, -185 is too steep for me.

JOSH JACOBS OVER 74.5 RUSHING YARDS (-110) is a no-brainer for me. He has hit this mark in 5 straight games, and the cold weather will give Green Bay the advantage to run some clock.

Against the spread

Go easy here, and I would consider paying to scale it back to -2.5 (-150), but I will take the PACKERS -3.5 (-105). The Pack have gone 1-4 ATS over the last 5 games, and the Dolphins’ offense has looked good. But this weather is a different animal.

Over/Under

The Packers are 4-5-1 O/U in the last 10 games, and the Dolphins are 5-5. These teams last met in 2022 in Miami, and the Under hit with the Pack winning 26-20. The last time Miami was in Lambeau was 2018 and it was a 31-12 Packers victory with an Under cash.

I like the UNDER 47.5 (-105).

Alex’s best bet: New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins prediction

SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White likes a total in the New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins Week 12 NFL matchup.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White already cashed her best college football bet for Saturday with Boston College (+2.5) winning outright 41-21 at home against North Carolina.

She’s looking to make it a 2-0 weekend with her best bet for NFL Week 12, which involves the total when the New England Patriots (3-8) visit the Miami Dolphins (4-6) Sunday in an AFC East matchup. Kickoff from Hard Rock Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET and will be televised on CBS.

The Patriots have alternated wins and losses over their last 4 games, recently falling at home to the LA Rams in Week 11.

The Dolphins enter on a 2-game win streak, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 34-19 last Sunday and winning at the Rams 23-15 in Week 10.

The division foes met in Week 5 at New England with Miami winning 15-10. The Dolphins covered as 1-point road favorites and the Under (37) cashed.

For Sunday’s matchup in South Florida, BetMGM Sportsbook has the O/U line at 46.5 (Over: -110 | Under: -110), up from 46, which it was Friday — last updated Saturday at 5:51 p.m. ET.

Listen below to why Alex likes this total as her best NFL bet for Sunday.

Patriots at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 27, Patriots 21

Moneyline

The Dolphins have averaged 27.8 points per game since Tua’s return and are 2-2.

When Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye plays a full game, they average 19 a game, and they have increased their points scored in each of their last 3 games. They have, though, allowed 20 or more points in 5 of their last 6.

The Dolphins should get their third consecutive win, but -400 odds are not worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Pats are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games and lost by only 6 last week.

The Dolphins are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games and 3-1 ATS since Tua’s return to the lineup.

The Dolphins won by 5 in their first meeting but that was without Tagovailoa and the Pats were starting QB Jacoby Brissett. With better offensive performances by both teams with their currents starters, this should be a one-score game.

BET PATRIOTS +7.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Pats’ last game had a total of 50 points. Three of the Dolphins’ last 4 games have surpassed 50 points.

Three of the Patriots’ last 5 games have surpassed 46 total points.

BET OVER 46.5 (-110).

Raiders at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 31, Raiders 17

Moneyline

The Dolphins (-350) are 1-2 since Tagovailoa’s return from IR. But their 2 losses were to the 6-4 Arizona Cardinals by 1 point (28-27, Oct. 27) and the 8-2 Buffalo Bills by 3 points (30-27, Nov. 3).

They are averaging 25.7 points per game since his return, and the Raiders have allowed 27 or more points in 4 of their last 5 games.

Miami should win going away, but -350 odds are not worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Raiders have been held to 20 or fewer points in 5 of their last 6 games. They only average 18.7 points per game this season.

Miami found its pass rush in Week 10, sacking Rams QB Matthew Stafford 4 times.

BET DOLPHINS -7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Four of the last 5 games for the Raiders have had totals above 44 points.

Two of the 3 games since Tagovailoa’s return have had totals in the 50s.

Miami Dolphins at LA Rams odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Miami Dolphins at LA Rams odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Miami Dolphins (2-6) and LA Rams (4-4) will close out the Week 10 slate with a showdown on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN) from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Dolphins vs. Rams odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Dolphins are in danger of falling out of playoff contention after losing their last 3 games to sink to 2-6 on the year. QB Tua Tagovailoa is back and has started the last 2 weeks, which has led to an uptick in scoring for Miami (27.0 points per game) in those games, but the Dolphins are just 1-3 in his 4 starts this season.

The Rams are peaking at the right time, winning their last 3 games, including a 30-20 home win over the Minnesota Vikings Oct. 24 and a 26-20 overtime win at the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday. WRs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are healthy again — after suffering early-season injuries — which has provided a spark for QB Matthew Stafford and the offense.

Dolphins at Rams picks and predictions

Prediction

Rams 30, Dolphins 24

Moneyline

The Dolphins are better than their 2-6 record indicates, but one could say the same about the 4-4 Rams. Now that LA is healthy, the team is beginning to hit its stride. With C Jonah Jackson and OL Steve Avila expected to return from IR stints, the Rams offensive line should be at its best Monday night.

As long as the Rams can prevent big plays to Dolphins WRs Hill and Jaylen Waddle, they should win this game. They may not have much of a home-field advantage crowd-wise, but they’re 3-1 at SoFi Stadium this season, too.

You could BET RAMS (-135) to win outright or take the less juiced line on the spread.

Against the spread

The Rams are 3-5 ATS this season, slightly better than Miami’s 2-6 mark. They’ve covered in each of their last 2 games — against the Vikings as 2.5-point underdogs and at the Seahawks as 1-point favorites.

The Dolphins are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 games, covering in Week 9 at the Buffalo Bills as 6-point underdogs in a 30-27 loss. After a slow start to the season, the Rams are gaining momentum, which can’t be said about the Dolphins.

BET RAMS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Unsurprisingly, both of these teams have played much better with their stars back. The Dolphins have scored 27 points in back-to-back games with Tagovailoa under center, while the Rams have scored 30 and 26 points in their last 2 games with Kupp and Nacua healthy.

The total is set on the higher side at 50 points, but these teams can both put up points in a hurry, and LA has had lapses in coverage that lead to big plays.

LEAN OVER 49 (-110).

Prediction

Bills 24, Dolphins 13

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Bills (-275) to take down the Dolphins.

Against the spread

BET BILLS -6 (-110).

The Bills have won back-to-back games by 21 or more points and have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 games. Miami has dropped 5 of its last 6 games with 4 of the 5 losses coming by 6 or more points. Buffalo will handle Tagovailoa and the Dolphins with ease.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 49.5 (-110).

While the Dolphins scored 27 points last Sunday with the return of Tagovailoa, they have scored 15 or fewer points in 5 of their last 6 games while their defense has allowed 16 or fewer points in 2 of their last 3 games. Buffalo’s defense has allowed 10 points in back-to-back weeks and in 4 of their last 7 weeks overall.

Cardinals at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 23, Dolphins 20

Moneyline

The Cardinals have been blown out following their last 2 good performances. They have not won consecutive games since 2021.

And the Dolphins are expected to have their starting QB back in the lineup. However, Miami’s offense didn’t look good this year even when Tagovailoa was in the lineup, needing a last-second field goal to get to 20 points in Week 1 and beat a bad Jacksonville Jaguars team. Tagovailoa threw 3 picks the next week before he was injured.

Since then, the Dolphins have averaged only 10 points per game and, even with Tagovailoa expected to play, Hill has a foot injury.

The Cardinals run the ball well and the Dolphins allow 4.6 yards per carry. They will be missing their best interior defender in Sieler.

Arizona is 3-1 when RB James Conner has over 85 rushing yards and 0-3 when he has less than that.

The Dolphins have allowed over 140 rushing yards in their last 3 games.

BET CARDINALS (+180).

Against the spread

The Cardinals are 4-3 ATS overall this season and the Dolphins are 1-5 ATS.

For all the reasons noted previously, you can expect the Cardinals to cover, but because you can get big plus odds on the moneyline, that is where you should go and pass on the spread.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Dolphins have yet to play a game this season that reaches the projected total for this matchup. The highest total in their games this season is 43 which was a 19-point loss.

The Cardinals have had totals higher than 46 in 5 of 7 games this season, but if they win this game, it will be grind-it-out win like they had against the Chargers.

BET UNDER 46 (-110).
