Miami Dolphins NFL Week 8 Betting Lines
NFL bettors that took the points with the Miami Dolphins were left frustrated in Week 7 after the team's uninspiring 16-10 loss and non-NFL spread cover against the Indianapolis Colts following their bye week. Despite two weeks of preparation, head coach Mike McDaniel and his staff couldn’t get the offense firing. The Tyler Huntley-led offense managed 337 total yards and controlled possession slightly but could only produce 10 points and struggled in the red zone, hitting paydirt on just 1 of 3 attempts. It marked yet another game where the Dolphins failed to score 20 points, resulting in their fourth overall loss of the season and fifth failure to cover the NFL spread. A key point of frustration was the minimal involvement of star receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who combined for just two catches on four targets. This lack of production and exposure was shocking, especially given Indianapolis' mediocre secondary. With Tua Tagovailoa potentially returning to the lineup in Week 8 betting, assuming no lingering concussion symptoms, there's hope Miami's offense will return to its high-scoring ways. However, early betting action suggests skepticism, with the Arizona Cardinals and the under receiving the most attention leading up to Sunday’s kick.
Initially 25-1 and 12-1 underdogs to win Super Bowl LIX and the AFC respectively, the Dolphins odds have continued to swell in both markets with the former up to 110-1 and the latter 55-1. Due to the Bills running away from the pack, its odds of winning the AFC East fattened up to +1100 from +750, while it’s adjusted in-season win total odds also held firm at 7.5 with slightly heavier juice attached to the high side of the offering. In terms of making the playoffs, the “Yes” was the -155 favorite heading into the regular season with the “No” paying out at +130, but the “No” is now the -330 favorite with the “Yes” paying out $260 on a $100 wager.

The lookahead NFL Week 8 betting lines hit the board with the Miami Dolphins laying 3.5-points and the total set at 49. NFL crypto bettors had issues with the Fins laying more than a field goal at the open and bought it back down to 3 with Miami only taking in 20+ percent of the bets and money per early week action reports from the online sportsbook. Miami has been installed 1-3 point home favorites a total of four times since McDaniel took over—it’s split the proceedings against the closing NFL betting lines with the under cashing at a 3-1 clip and 38.3 points scored on average. The Dolphins have gone for a paltry 10 points per game with Tua out of the mix! Though expected to nestle back in under center, total bettors have hammered the under with 70+ percent of the tickets but 58 percent of the early handle. Even so, the market has corrected a full point to 48 with the low side of the total cashing in five of the Fins six overall played games.
Miami Dolphins Week 7 Recap
The Miami Dolphins' 16-10 NFL odds loss to the Indianapolis Colts was another frustrating setback in a season filled with miscues and injuries. Despite a solid performance from De’Von Achane, who rushed for 77 yards, and tight end Jonnu Smith, who had 96 receiving yards and a touchdown, Miami struggled to find offensive consistency, particularly through its star wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. The dup only combined for two catches and minimal yardage on a grand total of four targets, which severely hampered the Dolphins' passing game and ability to run effective offense. Tyler Huntley was performing adequately with 87 passing yards, a touchdown, and some rushing contributions before a shoulder injury sidelined him in the third quarter. Backup Tim Boyle couldn't turn the tide, completing 8 of 13 passes for 74 yards but failing to produce any game-changing plays. The Dolphins missed a crucial opportunity to tie the game when Jason Sanders’ 54-yard field goal attempt hit the upright, sealing their fate. Miami’s inability to capitalize on turnovers and offensive struggles, combined with injuries to key players, has contributed to their fourth loss in five weeks. At 2-4 SU and bankroll killing 1-5 ATS, Miami must address these issues quickly for there to be any shot of turning this nightmarish campaign around.
