The public has bet the UNDER down to 260.5 (-133) after it opened @ 268.5 (-117).
Pros
- The Dolphins are a 3-point underdog this week, likely leading to a passing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects the Miami Dolphins to be the 5th-most pass-centric team on the slate this week with a 62.7% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- The forecast calls for 2-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.
- THE BLITZ projects Tua Tagovailoa to attempt 37.4 passes this week, on average: the 6th-most of all quarterbacks.
- Tua Tagovailoa has been among the leading quarterbacks in football since the start of last season, averaging an impressive 254.0 yards per game while ranking in the 78th percentile.
Cons
- THE BLITZ projects the Dolphins to call the 8th-least offensive plays among all teams this week with 62.9 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
- The Miami Dolphins have called the 4th-least plays in football since the start of last season, totaling a lowly 54.1 plays per game.
- Opposing teams have averaged 31.1 pass attempts per game against the Los Angeles Chargers defense since the start of last season: 7th-least in football.
- The Miami Dolphins offensive line profiles as the 8th-worst in the NFL since the start of last season in protecting the passer, which has a negative effect on all pass attack statistics across the board.
- Opposing teams have passed for the least yards in the NFL (just 188.0 per game) against the Los Angeles Chargers defense since the start of last season.
