Rams vs. Dolphins Monday Night Football Preview: Odds, Predictions, and Key Matchups

The Los Angeles Rams and the Miami Dolphins are set to clash in a crucial Monday Night Football matchup on November 11, 2024. The Rams, seeking their fourth consecutive win, are coming off a 26-20 overtime victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, the Dolphins aim to rebound from a 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

The Rams, with a 4-4 record, are tied for second in the NFC West with the San Francisco 49ers and boast a 3-1 record at home. In contrast, the Dolphins, with a 2-6 record, are third in the AFC East and have a 1-3 record on the road this season.

According to the latest odds, the Rams are favored by 2.5 points, with an over/under of 49 points for the total score. The Rams’ money line is -145, while the Dolphins’ money line is +122.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, when healthy, has been impressive for the Dolphins, completing 93 of 128 passes for 948 yards and five touchdowns with three interceptions this season. However, the status of receiver Tyreek Hill is uncertain due to a wrist injury. If Hill is unable to play, the Dolphins still have viable options such as receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back De'Von Achane.

SportsLine expert Larry Hartstein, who has a remarkable 44-27 record on his last 71 NFL picks involving the Rams, is leaning towards the under for the total points. He has also identified a critical X-factor that could significantly impact the spread. Hartstein’s predictions and betting advice are based on his extensive network of Vegas sources and analytical approach.
