  • The Miami Dolphins (2-0 straight up, 2-0 against the spread) will try to stay unbeaten in their first home game of 2023 as solid favorites on Sunday when they host the winless Denver Broncos (0-2, 0-2), who will also be playing their first road game of the season.

    The Dolphins have been one of the most impressive teams in the NFL over the first two weeks, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots on the road. Meanwhile, the Broncos have been one of the most disappointing under first-year head coach Sean Payton, losing to the Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders.

    Latest Betting Notes: Broncos

    Denver has not really looked much better with Payton at the helm than former head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who is currently serving as offensive coordinator of the New York Jets.

    Payton’s offense looked better early on in an eventual 35-33 loss to the Commanders last Sunday but failed to come through with anything more than a field goal from the 9:01 mark of the second quarter until 1:50 remained in the fourth after building a 21-3 lead.

    The Broncos saw their 21-3 lead turn into a 35-24 deficit during that stretch, but they made it interesting when quarterback Russell Wilson heaved a 50-yard touchdown toss to wide receiver Brandon Johnson as time expired. The two-point conversion attempt to potentially tie the game failed though, as the team fell to 0-3 ATS in its last three games.

    Latest Betting Notes: Dolphins

    On the other side of this AFC matchup, Miami’s offense has been nearly unstoppable so far, averaging 30 points in a pair of wins at Los Angeles and New England. The Dolphins have looked good both through the air with NFL MVP candidate Tua Tagovailoa slinging the ball around for 466 passing yards in the season opener and on the ground with running back Raheem Mostert rushing for 121 yards and two touchdowns against the Patriots.

    The fact that they can beat you in two different ways makes them a dangerous opponent for anyone facing them, and they will be Denver’s toughest foe by far from a defensive perspective as well. Miami is currently riding a five-game winning streak ATS.

    The Keys to Victory: Broncos

    Again, Wilson and the Denver offense appeared to be improved versus Washington but simply could not convert much in the second half when the team needed to move the chains outside of the final two minutes. That was also an issue late in the season opener against Las Vegas and must change if the Broncos are going to find a way to pull off the road upset and/or cover the spread in this difficult spot.

    The rushing attack in particular has been a major letdown, with running back Javonte Williams totaling 96 yards on 25 carries in two games. If Williams can get on track here, it can help his team keep it close.

    The Keys to Victory: Dolphins

    Miami simply needs to continue playing the way the team has in the first two games to keep its undefeated record intact. This will be a bit of a revenge game for linebacker Bradley Chubb, who was dealt from Denver last season.

    Chubb has been a difference maker since arriving in South Beach and will want to get the better of his former teammates. That motivation defensively for him and the Dolphins is one of the big keys.
