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).

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).

Los Angeles Rams favored on road vs. Miami Dolphins in Week 8

The Los Angeles Rams are expected to knock off the Miami Dolphins on the road in Week 8 by the betting odds and lines.

Rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins (3-3) host the Los Angeles Rams (5-2) Sunday afternoon of Week 8 at Hard Rock Stadium. The game kicks off in the early window at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 8 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Rams are coming off a dominant 24-10 win over the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, to keep pace in the NFC West. The defense has been outstanding this season, and allowed zero touchdowns to the Bears offense in Week 7. QB Jared Goff and the offense have held up their end, too, ranking 10th in total yards per game (385.7).

The Dolphins are transitioning to a new starting quarterback, with Tagovailoa taking over for QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. They had a bye in Week 7, so they’ve had some extra time to prepare for the Rams, but it’s hard to get a rookie ready for the presence of DT Aaron Donald. Miami has looked better than expected, though, jumping out to a 3-3 start.
