Even Miami Dolphin fans are wondering how their team has won three straight and even the stoutest Dolphin bettors might be keeping their wallet closed on Thanksgiving as they visit the Dallas Cowboys.
With Dallas favored by more than a TD, the total bet is attracting lots of interest as Miami is 9-1 on the season favoring the UNDER (all 5 road games). The OVER has been trending in Dallas home games (11-3 past 14).
Dallas is 9-2 SU in their past 11 games as a favorite, but has covered only three spreads in those games and the Odds Shark scores engine is predicting that Miami will cover the spread here (25-22 projected score for Dallas).
