The 5-6 Miami Dolphins travel to Green Bay to take on the 8-3 Packers in a primetime Thanksgiving matchup.
The Packers took care of business against a beat up San Francisco 49ers team last week. Green Bay currently holds the No. 6 seed in the NFC, but trail the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions by just one game in the NFC North. The Packers' offense ranks in the top 10 of the NFL in total yards and points per game, as well as points allowed defensively.
The Dolphins are finally healthy and are starting to put it all together, winners of their last three games. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is on fire, throwing 10 touchdown passes with only one interception over his last two games. Miami's defense, ranking in the top 10 in points and yards allowed, has done a nice job keeping the team alive until the offense got back into form.
Here are the best odds and bets for this matchup.
*Odds from DraftKings and subject to change
Packers vs. Dolphins Moneyline
Packers: -175
Dolphins: +145
These are two very evenly matched and well rounded teams. Both offenses can be explosive, and each defense plays well throughout every level. The Dolphins will be playing hard as they can't afford to fall much more behind in the standings, but playing on the road during a short week is going to be a monumental task.
It's also going to be chilly in Green Bay, and Miami doesn't typically fare very well in the cold. I'm taking the Packers to win, but betting on the Dolphins to cover the spread.
Packers vs. Dolphins Spread
Packers: -3.5 (-105)
Dolphins: +3.5 (-115)
The Packers tend to play close games, and I expect that to continue here against a good Miami team. Although I think Green Bay will pull out the win, I don't believe it will cover.
Packers vs. Dolphins Over-Under 47 total points
Over: -108
Under: -112
The Dolphins' offense is hot, but playing on the road in a cold weather city is a bit concerning. When you also factor in that both of these defenses are underrated, I'll bet the under.
