Miami Dolphins Odds

Miami Dolphins Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

The 2025 season looms as a pivotal one for the Dolphins, who are trying to right the ship after an 8-9 finish in 2024 that cost them a playoff berth.

Coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier return, enjoying solid support from ownership, but have also been told that improvement is mandatory.

At the heart of Miami’s fortunes once again is quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, whose health remains a major question. He missed several games in 2024 due to injury, and offensive line issues aggravated those concerns.

The front office has attempted to remedy that by drafting and signing reinforcements in the trenches, most notably Kenneth Grant on the defensive line, and shoreline changes including James Daniels on offense.

On defense, the Dolphins face a significant overhaul, especially in the secondary. Longtime starters are gone or injured, and new faces will be under pressure to perform immediately to prevent passing attacks from exploiting what looks like a vulnerable unit.

Miami also faces growing urgency to break its postseason drought. The team has not won a playoff game in over 20 years, and missing the 2024 playoffs has only piled pressure on the coaching staff and key players.

If Tagovailoa stays healthy, the offensive line improves, and the defensive rebuild holds together, the Dolphins have a shot to return to contention. Otherwise, expectations could slip, making this season one of large consequence for Miami’s direction.

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 2023 passing yards: 3950.5

In this example, a bettor will wager on whether or not Tua will throw for more or less than 3,950.5 yards over the course of the regular season.
