Trace Adams;
1500♦ Raise the Bar is the Miami Dolphins
Short week of prep for both Miami and Baltimore, and while that usually favors the team playing at home, I do not feel that will be the case tonight in Charm City.
Miami with another comeback win last weekend, and the Dolphins have now rattled off 3 straight wins, with a 2-0-1 spread mark along the way.
Baltimore is trending in the other direction, as the Ravens were bottled up at Minnesota on Sunday and dropped their second in a row, and their 4th in their last 5 games overall both straight up and against the spread!
This is the 5th straight season these teams are meeting, and it is Baltimore that owns the 3-1 straight up mark, and the 4-0 against the spread mark. Included is an embarrassing 38-6 home win in December over the 'Fins.
The Dolphins Jay Cutler was sidelined on Sunday with multiple cracked ribs, but I think that actually improves Adam Gase's team, as Matt Moore knows how to run the team, and did lead them into the postseason last year when Ryan Tannehill went down with injury.
Miami has covered 7 of their last 10 in the underdog role, and I see no reason why they not only cover this game, but possibly win it outright.
Take the points with the upward trending Dolphins.
