If the Miami Dolphins are going to go on a surprise run in the second half of the 2024 NFL season, they are going to have to start it with an upset of the Los Angeles Rams.
The Miami Dolphins fell to 2-6 on the 2024 season on Sunday, losing to the Buffalo Bills for the second time this year. The team still sees itself as an AFC playoff picture team, though time is running out if they are going to make a sudden turnaround after a miserable start to the year. If it is going to happen, that turnaround will need to start in Week 10 as they face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football.
The oddsmakers at FanDuel sportsbook are giving the Dolphins a slight chance to come away with the win. The line has the Rams favored by just 2.5 points, less than the normal three-point advantage for a home team. Can Miami pull off the upset?
Miami is +114 on the moneyline for the straight-up win, while the Rams are -134. The point total is 50.5.
The Dolphins have looked like a more complete team that last two weeks following the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. They could also see the return of some of their key defensive players in the near future, including defensive tackle Zach Sieler, who missed the last two games with an orbital bone fracture. Is it too late for the Dolphins, or could a win on Monday spark an improbable run?
