The Dolphins are entering this game with a 4-1 record overall and they have a 1-1 record in their divisional games too. They are 2-0 in their home games, 2-1 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against the New York Giants 31-16. Tua Tagovailoa was the starting QB and he completed 22/30 passes for 308 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. De’Von Achane led the team in rushing yards with 151 and 1 TD. Tyreek Hill led the receivers with 181 receiving yards on 8 receptions and 1 TD. Eli Apple led the defense in that game with 8 solo tackles and 1 assisted tackle while Zach Sieler led the defense in sacks with 2. No one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Dolphins listed as a 13.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dolphins have looked really good this year with one of the best offenses in the NFL despite losing on the road to the Bills. They are still a 4-1 team this season and have been winning a lot of their games by double digits. They just pulled off a big win at home against the Giants in their last game and they are getting an even weaker opponent here as the Panthers are 0-5 and the only winless team left in the NFL right now. The Panthers just went to Detroit and got blown out by the Lions in a game they were never really in at all. Bryce Young has struggled to make things happen in this offense and the Panthers defense won't be able to hold them in this game with an offense like the one the Dolphins have. Just like the Lions were able to do them at home, the Dolphins will do the same here and eventually there will be a point where they pull away so much that the Panthers won't have a way back in the game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dolphins to cover the spread in this game. 

Panthers Dolphins Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 15, 2023 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Dolphins 45 Panthers 20.
