Will Dallas Pull Through as the Underdog Road Team?

In their game against the Dolphins, the Cowboys will aim to improve their 10-4 record. This positions them 1st in the NFC-East and 2nd in the NFC. The Cowboys’ scoring margin thus far is currently at +11.9. This has contributed to an ATS record of 9-5.

After dropping their last game by a score of 31-10 to the Bills, they are looking to bounce back with a win this week. In addition to their 21-point loss, the Cowboys also suffered a setback in their ATS record. They were 2.5-point underdogs at the start of the game. The under hit in the Cowboys’ most recent game, where the teams’ combined total was 41 points. The line prior to the game stood at 49.5.

On offense, the Cowboys finished with 195 yards against the Bills. When it came to third downs, the Cowboys had a 38.5% conversion rate. Leading the ground game was Tony Pollard with 52 yards, and Dak Prescott contributed 134 passing yards.

Defensively, the Cowboys are currently ranked 13th in tackles for loss and 8th in sacks. Their opponents have been putting up an average of 18.9 points per game against them and accumulating 294.3 yards per contest.

Can the Dolphins Please the Home Miami Gardens Crowd?

Coming into their game against the Cowboys, the Dolphins are trying to improve on a 10-4 record. This mark has them at 1st in the AFC-East and 2nd in the AFC. Looking at the Dolphins’ scoring margin so far, it currently stands at +10.5. This has led to an ATS record of 9-5.

In their last game, the Dolphins welcomed the Jets. The game finished in a 30-0 win for the Dolphins. Given that they were favored by 7 against the Jets, the Dolphins picked up an ATS win. In the Dolphins’ latest game, the under bettors were correct as the teams totaled 30 points, below the line of 36 points.

Miami’s offense finished with 290 yards of total offense vs. the Jets. On third down, the Dolphins converted at a rate of 40%. Raheem Mostert was the Dolphins’ top rusher with 42 yards, while Tua Tagovailoa threw for 224 yards.

Miami is 13th in points allowed defensively. So far, their opponents are putting up an average of 21 points per game, accumulating 293.4 yards per contest.

Dolphins vs. Cowboys Player Prop

For this week 16 matchup De’Von Achane has a rushing yards prop set at 47.5. The over is offering a payout of -120, which implies odds of 55%, while the under is paying out at -113 (53%). Across eight games, De’Von Achane has 72 rushing attempts and gained 613 yards. Heading into week 16 he is 32nd among running backs in yardage. With the Cowboys coming in with the league’s 18th-ranked rush defense, I expect Achane to have plenty of opportunities in the game plan and go over 47.5 yards.

  • The Prop: De’Von Achane Over 47.5 Rushing Yards (-120)

Dolphins VS. Cowboys Predictions

Since the lines have opened, the Dolphins have moved from -1.5 point favorites to their current line of -1 (-110). The Cowboys are currently +1 (-110) point underdogs on the road.

Miami at -1 is my pick for this one. The team’s defense played well in their previous game, shutting out the Jets, and I see them carrying this over into this week. I anticipate Miami not only winning but also covering the spread against Dallas.
