Why Bet the Miami Dolphins Odds at +3?
The Miami Dolphins fell to 1-2 on the scrimmage season by losing to Philadelphia 38-31 in Week 3 despite watching Jay Cutler complete 5 of 8 passes for 105 yards and one touchdown. Veteran backup Matt Moore struggled mightily in completing just 5 of 11 passes for 43 yards with two interceptions. Running back Jay Ajayi rushed nine times for a team-high 53 yards and two scores in the loss while DeVante Parker had two catches for a team-high 78 yards. Moore will get the star at quarterback, while backups David Fales and Brandon Doughty fight for the final roster spot at quarterback. Running backs Kenyan Drake, Storm Johnson and Damien Williams are all fighting for spots behind Ajayi. Defensively, Miami gave up three passing scores in the loss and one rushing touchdown to Philly native Corey Clement and simply needs to be better after giving up a whopping 69 combined points in their last two games.Team Statistics
