4* Free Week 8 NFL Betting Prediction: Miami -3
Let’s talk betting angles: Arizona has been a shaky bet as an underdog lately, going just 5-14 straight up in their last 19 as the dog. Plus, they’re 1-5 in their last six trips to Miami, which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Meanwhile, Miami is on a roll at home against NFC West opponents, winning six of their last nine in that scenario.
Our model has the Dolphins coming out on top in this week eight matchup vs. the Cardinals, with a final score prediction of 27-23 in favor of Miami.
With the point spread sitting at +3 in favor of the Cardinals, our pick vs. the spread is to take the Dolphins to cover as home favorites.
With Tua back under center, the Dolphins have the firepower to cover the spread at -3, especially against a Cardinals squad that’s been inconsistent on the road.
For this one, we also like the over as a good value pick. The current O/U line is 47.5 points, and our projections have these teams combining for 50 points, making the over an attractive play.
The total screams points, so don’t sleep on that over! Expect some fireworks in Miami Gardens this Sunday.
