Why Bet on Dallas versus Miami
Dallas fumbled in NFL Week 15. There’s no other way to describe the horrific performance Cowboys fans witnessed. But Dallas remains one of the better teams in the NFC.
Before falling to the Bills, the Cowboys had blown out the rival Philadelphia Eagles. So in some ways, we can blow off the Cowboys’ loss as nothing more than a bounce. Not only that, but Buffalo confused the Cowboys’ D by calling run play after run play.
Dallas will be better prepared against the Miami Dolphins. Expect the Cowboys to be right there at the end.

Why Bet on Miami versus Dallas
In NFL Week 14, Miami had the Tennessee Titans on the ropes. But the Dolphins failed to close the door on their rivals and ended up losing straight up.
The Fins, though, bounced back big time in NFL Week 15, scoring 30 against the New York Jets terrific defense while holding the Jets to 0 points. Miami should continue playing excellent football.
Also, the Bills provided a road map to beating the Cowboys. All Miami must do is copy Buffalo’s strategy, which involved handing the ball off to James Cook. Expect the Fins to give Raheem Mostert plenty of carries.

Miami Dolphins vs Dallas Cowboys Final Betting Prediction
It’s tough to back the Boys or the Dolphins. Let us explain. Dallas can’t win on the road. Miami has yet to beat a team with a record above .500.
So deciding which team takes home the victory in this is difficult. The Dolphins have an edge because this game happens at Hard Rock Stadium.
Dallas has the edge in the sense that their defense is excellent against the pass. Buffalo showed that you could beat the Cowboys with a good rushing attack.
Mike McDaniel, Miami’s head coach, will give Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane, if Achane plays, enough carries to keep the Dallas D on its heels. If the Cowboys creep up or put an eighth man in the box, Tua Tagovailoa should find success throwing to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins win via a late field goal.
