The Dolphins are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games in December and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in Week 13. The 49ers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games and 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Dolphins last 5 road games. The under is 14-5 in 49ers last 19 games overall. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings. The road team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
The San Francisco 49ers are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, but the value is on the Dolphins, especially the hook. The Miami Dolphins are one of the hotter teams in the league with 5 straight wins, and they have yet to lose with Tagovailoa under center. At some point, you have to believe this team is for real. Mike McDaniel also comes from San Fran, so he knows a lot of these players. Also, Samuel and McCaffrey are banged up. Give me the points in a game the Dolphins could win outright.
