If you have been willing to go against the grain with the Miami Dolphins and the sports books in recent weeks, odds are you’ve made yourself a nice bit of coin! The Dolphins have won two consecutive games as betting underdogs and have now covered the spread in five consecutive contests. Miami has generally been considered double digit underdogs unless facing the absolute worst of the worst this season — and Miami has delivered surprises ever since the bye week.
The bad news is the party may be over — as the sports books seem to be catching on. The Dolphins currently sit at 6.5 point underdogs for Week 11 according to BetMGM. The last time the Dolphins played the Bills, the spread was larger than two touchdowns before Miami blew a second half lead and fell 31-21. With the Dolphins at home this week, the South Florida climate could potentially bog down the Bills’ team — giving Miami a chance to play spoiler again.
The Dolphins are definitely going to be looking forward to their second crack at the Bills, as the Dolphins missed the opportunity to pin Buffalo down late in the 3rd quarter and things went off the rails courtesy of a Ryan Fitzpatrick interception in the red zone. Miami pulling off a third straight win outright would be a surprise — and now, thanks to Miami’s recent tear against the spread, getting a cover is no sure thing, either.
