Miami Dolphins vs Philadelphia Eagles Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -2
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -135/Dolphins +115
• Opening total: Over/Under 52.5 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Philly has a cluster of injuries in its defensive backfield, most notably to starting safety Reed Blankenship and starting cornerback Darius Slay. Both are questionable for this Sunday night showdown.

TwinSpires opened the Eagles -2.5 and is down to -2. The Dolphins are landing 58% of early spread tickets/62% of early spread dollars.

"It's no surprise, with the Eagles off a loss and the Dolphins rolling, that the public likes Miami," Lucas said. "It feels similar to when the public took Miami at Buffalo."

But keep in mind, the Dolphins lost that game 48-20.

"Miami has been great at beating up bad teams," Lucas said, noting Philadelphia is very good and that this game is getting a lot of early attention. "We'll need Philly. The volume is four times more than the next-highest-handle game."

The total is down a point to 51.5, with 66% of tickets on the Over/59% of money on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 52.5," Lucas said.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Miami stubbed its toe in a blowout Week 4 loss at Buffalo, and Week 6 look as if it could get problematic, too. The Dolphins (5-1 SU and ATS) spotted the Panthers a 14-0 first-quarter lead.

However, Miami scored the next 35 points and doubled up Carolina 42-21 laying 14 points at home.

Philadelphia was dealt its first loss of the season, surprisingly tumbling to the New York Jets. The Eagles (5-1 SU/3-2-1 ATS) led 14-9 at halftime, but failed to score in the second half, losing 20-14 as 6.5-point road faves.

"The lookahead line closed Philly -3 (even), and we re-opened at Philly -2 when it looked like the Eagles were going to narrowly escape the Jets," Michaelson said. "After they full-on lost the game, we naturally bumped the line up. Why? We think the perception will be that Philly is too good to lose two in a row."

So the Eagles are now -2.5 in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 7 market.

"The Dolphins have become a very public team. But I think the public could be wary of the last time they went all-in on Miami as an underdog – the 48-20 loss to Buffalo," Michaelson said. "This is clearly the game of the day, and we expect to have pretty significant handle on two teams the public is invested in heavily."

Dolphins vs Eagles Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

Styles make fights, and these teams' styles set up for a heck of a fight. I cannot wait for Sunday Night Football — but I have this funny feeling that one of these teams solves the matchup and we end up with a big win, much like we did with Cowboys-49ers a few Sunday nights ago. I honestly have no idea which side that will be, but I'm trusting my gut and betting both sides to win big at a combined implied +324 and hoping one of them hits.

Pick: Dolphins -13.5 (+680) & Eagles -19.5 (+830)
