Dolphins Betting

With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years

We are going to use the same philosophy with game 2 of our teaser that we used with game one. Both of these teams come into this game at 7-7 and must have a win here. Again the line is about right, as the home team should win this game by around a field goal, but it’s too close to call

We told you to take Miami over New England last week and we hope you did. Jacksonville won a big game against Houston and is in the play-off picture. Actually both of these teams want to make the play-offs and this game may decide which team goes or stays home after the season

The Bills played pretty good last week under their new coach in almost winning in Jacksonville. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a very smart and efficient quarterback. The Dolphins played very well in beating a good Carolina team on the road last week. The Dolphins play hard every week and that is what you look for in team

Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999

Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,

Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship

Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance

At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move

Miami won but didn’t cover last week versus Tampa Bay while Carolina won as a 2 point dog at home against Atlanta. Our football sense said take Atlanta, but we knew better as our gambling sense said take the home dog

Ted Ginn kickoff returns for touchdowns helped the Dolphins beat the Jets last week. New England was resting up last week after going to London to play an exhibition game vs. Tampa Bay. The Patriots have righted the ship

Just 2 weeks ago these 2 teams played a very good game on Monday Night Football, in which Miami won the game at the very end. The Jets finally got back on track last week beating Oakland 38-0. Miami was beating New Orleans 24-3 then fell apart and didn’t even cover

Both of these teams are coming of big wins. The Saints come in at 5-0 and look like the best team in football after beating the Giants 48-27. The Dolphins have won 2 straight and have shown that they are not going to quit on the season yet.

The Dolphins showed last week that they still want to have a good season, despite their 0-3 start. The Jets +6.5 disappointed us last week versus New Orleans.

One of these teams is in deep trouble, the other one might be able to right the ship. I think you can figure out which is which. The Bills are 1-2 but have played well every week, and lost to 2 good teams. The Dolphins had a rough schedule (at Atlanta, Indy, at San Diego) to start the year.

Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat” offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers

This game scares me, not only as a Giant fan but as a bettor. This is a trap game for the Giants. After 2 huge wins against division rivals, Dallas and Washington, they now play 3 games in a row versus bad teams

The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.

The Monday night game completes the last part of our 4 team , 13 point teaser. The Colts looked shaky in beating the Jags last week while the Dolphins looked awful in losing to the Falcons.

It’s kind of appropriate that these 2 teams meet to open the season. They both were 2 of the biggest surprises last year. One of these teams however will be in the mix this year, the other will not.

After 2007, few would have believed that Miami was poised to have a better 2008 season than their northern Florida counterparts, the Jacksonville Jaguars

Probably the most well known handicapping angle is the “Monday Night Home Underdog.”

Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.

Bettors no longer have to look at mere sides and/or game totals to strike it rich as mostly all the online sports books (and many Las Vegas) outlets provide first and second half wagering lines along with quarter by quarter prices too on football betting.
