The Los Angeles Chargers are 3-point favorites over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1 of the 2023 regular season. The over/under is 51.0 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook.
That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 51 points.
My score prediction for the game is a 27-14 win for the Bolts, with a combined total of 41 points. So if I were putting money behind my prediction, I’d bet the under.
As for game picks, analysts are leaning toward Mike McDaniel’s Dolphins in this one.
