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.

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.
The Pick: Dolphins -1 | -110 at Fanduel Sportsbook
