Miami is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games on turf and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games. The under is 4-1 in Miami’s last 5 games. Detroit is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-9 ATS in their last 9 week eight games. The over is 6-2 in Detroit’s last 8 games. The favorite is 4-1 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Detroit has played really bad offensively in their last two games and will try to break out of that slump at home. Miami got out to a fast start in their last game, but wasn’t able to score after halftime. The Dolphins should have a field day against the worst defense in the NFL and I think they will score 30+. I like the Dolphins here.
