As the Dolphins take on the Rams in Week 10’s Monday Night Football game, bettors can anticipate an action-packed matchup with plenty of scoring potential. With both teams boasting elite offensive talents and questionable defenses, the point totals present intriguing opportunities. Here’s a breakdown of our top picks, focusing on a high total for the Dolphins and the game as a whole.
Dolphins Team Total Over 23.5 Points (-112, DraftKings)
Although they’ve fallen short in consecutive games since Tua Tagovailoa returned from injury, Miami scored 27 points in Week 8 against the Cardinals and then 27 again in Week 9 against the Bills. The Rams rank 22nd in scoring defense (24.3 points allowed per game), so I’m not at all worried about that unit as a whole. Tua and his weapons (Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and others) should be able to move the ball down the field effectively and given Miami’s defensive struggles, the likelihood of a back-and-forth shootout is pretty high, in my opinion.
Dolphins at Rams Over 48.5 Points (-110, FanDuel)
With that being said, I love the over. The Rams have legitimate stars of their own on offense (Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams) and a borderline Hall of Fame QB (Matthew Stafford) and since this line opened at 50, got up to 50.5 and then got knocked down a couple points, I think there’s a little value here that is logical to take advantage of. Since Tua came back from his injury, Dolphins games went over their totals easily (55 and 57 total points) and based on how solid Miami’s offense has looked and how terrible their defense has looked, this is what I’m most comfortable with. Backing either team scares me and is very difficult to project based on the fact that star skill players are now healthy.
