Titans vs Dolphins Prediction

The current betting odds have the Dolphins listed as a 13 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dolphins have looked really good this season with their 9-3 record overall and they have been especially good against teams with losing records. They are 5-0 in their home games this season and they just blew out another bad team in the Commanders last week, beating them 45-15. Meanwhile, the Titans have looked terrible this season with their 4-8 record overall and all of their wins have been at home this season too. They are 0-6 in their road games this year and that doesn't include the 1 game they played in England and lost. They have been letting their rookie QB Will Levis run the show lately and their offense has improved with him but their defense has been an even bigger issue lately and they aren't going to be able to keep this Dolphins offense off the board. The Dolphins will be looking to put on another show at home in a prime time game so look for the Dolphins here to blow out another team with a losing record. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dolphins to cover the spread in this game.
