Why Bet on the Miami Dolphins?

Mike McDaniel has created one of the top offenses in the NFL. Miami’s success starts with Tua Tagovailoa, the former first round draft pick. Tagovailoa has picked his game up big time this season.

Tua averages 290.5 passing yards per game, ranking second in the league. Tagovailoa has thrown for 2,859 yards and 21 TDs while tossing just 5 interceptions. Most of Tua’s throws have gone to former Kansas City wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Tyreek has 96 catches for 1,349 yards. Hill has caught 5 TD passes.

Overall, the Fins average close to 25 points per game from 380 yards.

Miami’s defense is excellent at stopping the rush. Opponents average 110.5 rushing yards per, ranking ninth in the league.

The Dolphins’ D isn’t as good at stopping the pass. Opposing quarterbacks go for 233.5 yards per. Because Miami struggles to stop the pass, teams average 24 points per game, ranking the Fins’ defense sixth in the NFL.

Why Bet on the Los Angeles Chargers?

Like the Dolphins, the Chargers’ offense is one of the best in the NFL at passing the pigskin. Quarterback Justin Herbert averages 266.5 passing yards per game.

Herbert leads an offense that scores 22.7 points per from a total of 351.2 yards. The total yards the Bolts amass each contest ranks thirteenth in the NFL.

LAC’s defense hasn’t lived up to the preseason billing. The Bolts allow 25.8 points per game, ranking thirtieth in the league.

Kahlil Mack has 7 sacks and Bryce Callahan has 3 interceptions. But the points allowed puts pressure on the Chargers’ offense. LAC allows 151.6 rushing yards per game, ranking twenty- ninth in the NFL.

Dolphins vs. Chargers Betting Trends

Dolphins are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games on field turf.
Miami is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on the road.
Over is 4-0 in Miami’s last 4 games on the road.
Chargers are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games in week 14.
LAC is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following an SU loss.
Over is 5-1 in LAC’s last 6 versus a team with a winning record.

Dolphins vs. Chargers Expert Betting Predictions

Most are giving Miami the benefit of the doubt because of the Bolts’ awful rush defense. Los Angeles does okay against the pass, but the Chargers can’t stop running backs.

However, Mike McDaniel’s offensive system leans on the passing attack. The Dolphins average a terrible 89.7 rushing yards per game, ranking twenty-eighth in the NFL.

Not only that, but we have to believe the Chargers’ rushing yards allowed stat has been skewed by facing running backs like the Raiders’ Josh Jacobs and San Francisco’s Christian McCaffrey in 3 of the last 4 games.

Also, Herbert should have a fully healthy wide receiver room for this game after the Bolts upgraded Mike Williams to probable. LAC looks tough to beat.
