Eagles at Dolphins picks and predictions
Prediction
Eagles 23, Dolphins 20
Money line
My general philosophy about the preseason is that you generally take the best value of a bet. With starters only playing a small fraction of the game, it is backups and players battling to stay on NFL rosters deciding the outcomes of games. They are truly tossups. There is nothing reliable we can use for quality of play or motivation.
So here you go for the underdog bet, as it gives you the best value. Take the EAGLES (+110).
Against the spread
As it is a preseason game, PASS on the spread. The Eagles lost 1 game by 3 and won the other by 1 point.
The Dolphins have a 2-point win and a 2-point loss in the preseason.
But because of the high variance of the type of game you can get in the preseason, stick to the most valuable bet. PASS.

Over/Under
Both of the Eagles’ 2 preseason games have had totals in the 40s.
The Dolphins had their first game reach 50 points, but their second only had 28 total points.
I LEAN OVER 37.5 (-105).
