Is Now the Time to Bet the Dolphins' Wins Total with Tua Tagoavailoa Back?
By Thomas Snodgrass
The Miami Dolphins have started the season 1-4, enduring four consecutive losses after winning in Week 1 against the New England Patriots in Foxborough, Massachusetts. That win over Bill Belichick’s Patriots was the only game this season that Tua Tagovailoa started and finished for the Dolphins.
Good news, Miami! Tua’s back!
WynnBET Sportsbook has the Dolphins regular season wins total set at 7 (Over -120/Under +100) with the more than seven wins as a favorite to the under. Miami would have to go at least 7-5 in the next 12 games to hit the over.
More good news, Miami! The Dolphins get to play the New York Jets twice!
If Miami can beat the Jacksonville Jaguars this week in London, the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7, the Houston Texans in Week 9, the Jets in Week 11, the New York Giants in Week 13, and the Jets again in Week 15, that would be seven wins. All the Dolphins would need is one more win.
Maybe Miami can win against the New Orleans Saints or Tennessee Titans in Weeks 16 or 17, or possibly beat the Patriots again in Week 18?
The number of seven wins looks like WynnBET has Miami right where they are, a seven win team. But football is a weird game, with a weirdly shaped ball that takes weird bounces.
The Dolphins are a young team with moving pieces, and there are going to be growing pains that come along with all of that.
I’m taking the under seven wins at +100, because the value is stronger than my confidence in this Miami football team.
Bad news, Miami! It’s looking like another tough year for the Dolphins!
