Dolphins vs Chiefs Prediction
The current betting odds have the Dolphins listed as a 2 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dolphins are 6-2 this season and they have looked really good in their games. Their 2 losses were against the Bills and the Eagles but other than those they have been winning most of their games by double digits. The Chiefs are also 6-2 this season but they haven't looked as good this season with their offense struggling to put up points in their games. They are also coming off a loss against the Broncos in their last game which they only scored 9 points in just to highlight the scoring problems they have had. Now they are playing this game in Germany and the Chiefs will be looking to bounce back but the Dolphins are also going to be looking to win one of these games against high profile opponents and they have the offense to bury the Chiefs with the way both teams have been playing. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dolphins to cover the spread in this game.
Dolphins Chiefs Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 5, 2023 (9:30 pm ET start time) is Dolphins 31 Chiefs 27.

Notable Quotes
“You get a great litmus test of where you're at as a football team when you have a division game, and then on top of that you're going overseas the next week and on top of that you have ‘Hard Knocks’ the week after. That is leading the league in potential distractions. So I knew we were going to find out a lot about our team today.” - Mike McDaniel after his team’s win against the Patriots in their last game.
“And we didn’t execute or score any points.” - Patrick Mahomes III after their loss against the Broncos in their last game.
