Miami Dolphins Odds

Miami Dolphins Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

Expectations are high in Miami following two back-to-back winning seasons – and rightfully so. The Dolphins have a new head coach in Mike McDaniel and made one of the splashiest moves of the offseason by trading for wide receiver Tyreek Hill. A huge upgrade was made on the offensive line as well with the signing of Terron Armstead.

All eyes will be on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who enters his third season but remains a constant presence in the rumor mill. This could be a make-or-break year for Tagovailoa, as he has weapons aplenty in Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki. On the ground, the Dolphins feature an interesting trio of backs in Raheem Mostert, Chase Edmonds and Myles Gaskin.

The Dolphins open the 2022 NFL season at home against the rival Patriots.

Betting on the Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins Point Spread

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points.

Here’s an example:

• Jets +2.5 (+110)
• Dolphins -2.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Jets are 2.5 point underdogs against the Dolphins. If Miami wins the game by three or more points, a $100 wager on the Dolphins would come with a payout of $90.91. If New York won the game outright or lost by two points or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Miami Dolphins Over/Unders

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Bills play the Dolphins and the over/under is set at 51 points. A wager on the over would require Buffalo and Miami to score 52 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 50 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 51 points scored.

Miami Dolphins Moneyline

The moneyline is as straightforward as it gets when it comes to betting. The only thing to do here is pick the winner. Check out this example:

• Dolphins -160
• Patriots +135

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Miami the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Dolphins odds would mean every $160 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Patriots moneyline was set at +135, meaning a $100 wager would profit $135.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Dolphins moneyline and a -2.5 point spread, Miami would need to win by three points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds.

Dolphins Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Tua Tagovailoa 2021 passing yards: 3800.5

In this example, a bettor will wager on whether or not Tua will throw for more or less than 3,800.5 yards over the course of the regular season.
