Should see big workload with Achane out, but should be a trailing game script and Ollie Gordon potentially mixing in on short yardage work and Wilson/Edwards could also mix in depending on if either are active. Proj closer to 15.5 with around a 58% chance to stay under 16.5

It feels like the MVP race ended Monday night. Matthew Stafford was terrible, throwing three interceptions in front of a national TV audience. RIP to our preseason +5000 Stafford pick gone to the graveyard with Brock Purdy +5000 and Tom Brady +1400 preseason MVP picks that turned into December odds-on favorites in just the last five years before falling just short at the death. So it goes for long shots and futures bettors. Great bettors should have some heartbreaking losses, long odds that get oh-so-close — that's how you know it was a good bet and worth betting again the next time. The Rams are sputtering into the postseason, but Drake Maye dropped five TDs on the hapless Jets and the Patriots want a win to secure their seeding into the playoffs. Miami has played better down the stretch, but its pass defense has been terrible all season. The Dolphins have allowed the 7th most passing touchdowns at 1.75 per game, with at least two in 10-of-16 games, but it gets even worse. Miami has played only 11 games against opponent QB1s, and it's allowed 2+ pass TDs in all but one of those games. Consensus top 10 QBs Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, and of course Maye have played six times against Miami this season and recorded 18 total touchdowns, an average of three per game. That includes games of three, three, four, and four TDs. Maye has at least two passing TDs 11 times already, nearly three-fourths of his games, with a pair of 3-TD games plus last week's five. If he's going to pad his TD stats into the postseason, we may as well profit. Drink the juice on Maye to go over 1.5 passing TDs at -160 (bet365), and play the escalator: 3+ at +260 and 4+ at +850 (bet365).
