Miami Dolphins NFL Week 4 Betting Lines

The Miami Dolphins put on a show for the 65,000+ that packed Hard Rock Stadium in Week 3 by trouncing the Denver Broncos 70-20 to easily cover the laughable 6-point spread. The point output was the highest in franchise history and came two-points away from tying the NFL record for most scored in a single game. Mike McDaniel had an opportunity to break the record late in the game with a chip shot field goal attempt, but decided to call off the dogs instead and settled for the 50-point win. I wonder what Sean Payton would’ve done had he been forced to make the same decision. Regardless, the 2023-24 Miami Dolphins are a dangerous football team that looks to be destined to break many an NFL record along the way provided the injury bug keeps its way out of Miami Gardens. The team will attempt to remain unblemished in Week 4 when it invades Buffalo for the first of two regular season skirmishes against the division rival Bills. To no surprise, the NFL betting market is all over the Fins like white on rice!

Miami Dolphins Week 4 Matchup

On Sunday, October 1, 2023, the Miami Dolphins will take on the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY. Kickoff time is set for 1 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS. The betting odds for this AFC East showdown hit the board with the Dolphins installed 3.5-point road underdogs and the total lined 49.5. Though Buffalo enters this tilt a fluke overtime loss to the Jets away from also being 3-0, it’s been all one-way traffic on Miami with Tua Tagovailoa and his mates garnering 72 percent of the bets and a whopping 81 percent of the money per way too early wagering reports. Because of it, the pointspread has dropped below the key number to +2.5 though reduced -101 juice is attached to their side on the impost at the online sportsbook. Surprising when taking into account Miami’s 4-6 SU and 5-5 ATS recent road records, but this looks to be a different teams than ones from year’s past. Still, the Fins have amassed a grand total of one win in their last ten treks to Orchard Park (3-6-1 ATS) and lost those nine games by an average of 16.1 points per game. With Miami denting the board for better than 43.0 points per game, it comes with little surprise to see total bettors locked in on the over with the number to beat jumping four points from the opener making this matchup one of only two on the Week 4 slate that possess 50+ points imposts. Makes sense considering seven of the last eight meetings between in Buffalo played to high scorers with an average of 55.8 points scored. Each of last year’s clashes played to easy overs which included the playoff bout that saw 65 points hit the board with Skylar Thompson holding the QB1 reins!

Miami Dolphins Week 3 Recap

The Miami Dolphins broke all kinds of records – both from NFL and franchise perspectives – after hammering the Denver Broncos by a 70-20 final count as short 6-point favorites per the closing NFL odds. Before the Hard Rock Stadium crowd could get comfortable in their seats, the Fins already held a 7-0 lead after Tua Tagovailoa connected with Tyreek Hill from 54-yards out. The easy score was a sign of things to come for an offense that simply did as it pleased against an overmatched Broncos defense. When the dust cleared on the 50 point win, Miami racked up 726 yards of combined offense in a game Jaylen Waddle was forced to miss. Tua would go on to complete 23 of 26 passes for 309 yards and a 4:0 TD/INT ratio which resulted in an insane 155.8 QB rating. Not to be outdone, the backfield tore things up with Raheem Mostert and rookie De’Von Achane combining for 375 scrimmage yards and 8 TD. You can bet your bottom dollar the latter will be highly sought after on fantasy waiver wires this week! Mike McDaniel’s offense put on a clinic and currently ranks out No. 1 across the board in just about every pertinent offensive statistic. The end result proved to be one of many losers for the online sportsbook in Week 3 with the Fins taking in 64 percent of the bets and 55 percent of the money. It also took a hit on the over with a majority of the bets and handle expecting a high scorer to play out in Miami’s home opener. Initially a 30-1 underdog to hoist the Lombardi Trophy come the conclusion of Super Bowl LVIII, the Fins are now offered up at 9-1 and clock in as the decided -160 favorite to win the AFC East with it expected to be a three-team race to the finish line at the season’s outset.

Miami Dolphins Schedule & Results

The Miami Dolphins were a 1966 American Football League expansion franchise. Since their inception, they have shared the same AFC East Division with the New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Buffalo Bills.

Miami drafted exceptionally well from the day the franchise opened for business. Players such as quarterback Bob Griese and running backs Jim Kiick, Larry Csonka, and Mercury Morris formed a strong nucleus. Wide receiver Paul Warfield later came over and was a Hall of Famer. But the most important acquisition was head coach Don Shula. Shula arrived in 1970 and got the Dolphins into the playoffs that year. By 1971, the Dolphins were AFC Champions. In 1972, Miami turned in a 17-0 perfect championship season, the only one in NFL history.

From 1970 through 2001, the Dolphins were perennial playoff contenders. But since 2002, Miami has made the playoffs only twice.

Of course, Miami is known for former quarterback Dan Marino re-writing the record book in a sensational career.

Owner Stephen M Ross bought the team in 2008 and has been one of the least effective owners in the NFL. After head coach Brian Flores was fired in January 2022, he accused Ross of offering to pay him to lose games. As of yet, Ross has not sued Flores for defamation of character. And heading into training camp, there was no news to the contrary.

Following a 2022 playoff campaign under then-rookie head coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins are focused on a bright future.
