Tips for Betting on Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins started last season winning their first three games sparked hope that they might get back into the playoffs and maybe even supplant the New England Patriots as the top team in the AFC East. That hope faded quickly, however, as the Dolphins finished out the season with a disappointing record of 7-9.

Stats-wise the Dolphins also floundered around the bottom of the league in terms of both offense and defense.

Things may be different this year because head coach Adam Gase was fired in the offseason and replaced by former Patriots staffer, Brian Flores. The Dolphins also made a change at the QB position, acquiring former first-rounder Josh Rosen from the Cardinals.

Heading into 2019 the Dolphins are widely regarded as one of the worst teams in the NFL. To make matters worse, they’re in a competitive division with lots of stiff competition.

The Dolphins were as average as you could be in 2018, going .500 against the spread and against the over. QB play was a point of concern for the Fins last season and they’re hoping the trade for second-year QB Josh Rosen will help jumpstart an offense that scored 30+ points on only two occasions last season.

The team lacks star power across the board and bettors would be hard-pressed to spot any potential pro bowlers on this team. If you’re looking to find value, the Dolphins could conceivably open up as double-digit underdogs in each game before their week five bye. However, with a new QB and head coach, proceed with caution.

Here are some more noteworthy stats and trends to consider before betting on the Dolphins:

• The Dolphins were middle of the pack vs. the point spread last season, going 8-8.
• The Dolphins went right up the middle hitting overs last season, ending the year 8-8-0 in the point totals category as well.
• The Dolphins haven’t won the division since 2008, the year Tom Brady tore his ACL. Don’t expect that to change this year, especially with the Fins coming into 2019 with an over/under win total of just 5, the lowest of any NFL team.

There’s no sense sugar-coating it: The Dolphins are starting this season as heavy underdogs. But, with a new head coach and a new QB, the Fins are hoping to punch above their weight and earn a much-needed playoff spot.

If that happens, they’ll be offering huge value with long underdog odds.
