Why Bet on the Eagles?
The Philadelphia Eagles come into this match as the NFC East leaders, with 5 Wins and a single loss, having lost their unbeaten streak against the Jets in their most recent clash.
They had ample opportunities to gain margin and put away the Jets in a 20-14 loss last week, but untimely turnovers and a missed field goal ultimately doomed them.
It’s rare to win games and stay competitive in today’s NFL when a team commits four more turnovers than its opponent, but the Eagles managed to stay within striking distance despite several miscues.
Why Bet on the Dolphins?
The Miami Dolphins are currently placed at the top spot of the AFC East, also coming in with 5 wins and a single loss, but they come in on a two-match win streak after losing to the Bills at the start of October.
The Dolphins continued to beat up on inferior competition, crawling out of an early 14-0 hole to cruise past the Panthers, 42-21.
Slowing down a Miami offense that leads the league in EPA per play (0.251) and success rate (53.8%) is no easy task.
Tua Tagovailoa has been nearly flawless in his second season running Mike McDaniel’s offense, leading all qualified QBs in passer rating while sitting atop the MVP odds board.
Eagles vs. Dolphins Final Betting Analysis:
This game feels like it’s going to come down to how well the Dolphins’ offensive line can protect Tua Tagovailoa. If Tua is getting time to throw, he’s going to torch the Eagles’ secondary.
Although we think the Dolphins will be able to move the ball with ease, we also think the Eagles are going to have some success, which is why we think this game is going to be a shootout.
It is difficult to pick against the highest-scoring team in the NFL when trying to predict the winner of a shootout. In related news, the Dolphins are the highest-scoring team in the NFL.
Go for a straight win for the Miami Dolphins’ Moneyline. If you bet $100 at +116, you will gain $116 for a total payout of $216.
