Here's another rather large spread for a Dolphins game. Last week, Miami played inspired ball against the Cowboys for at least a quarter before things got out of hand. I can definitely see the same thing happening in this one against the Chargers. The reason you see this happening to Miami is due to a lack of depth. Once that improves, so will the Dolphins' chances of keeping these games close for four quarters instead of just one. Until then, take the Chargers.
Hi, I'll be the sucker that takes the Dolphins to finally cover a spread. I get why you can't make the number high enough when they play the Patriots and Cowboys, two of the best teams in the league. But the Chargers haven't played well at all this year, and are an overtime period away from being 0-3. Now they have to fly cross country and play in the Miami heat with a roster that continues to deal with significant injuries. The implied final score of this game is 30-14, and I'm not banking on that kind of offense from the Chargers, even against this Miami defense.
