The Miami Dolphins head to Heinz Field to play Pittsburgh for Monday Night Football.   Both teams have been struggling so far this season, but fortunately one of them has to win here.

There is not a lot of help to be had on the Dolphins, though. They are dead last with 10.5 points scored per game. The air and ground game have been just as bad. Miami are averaging just 66.7 yards running the football per contest. The Steelers are just okay against the run, with 110.2 yards allowed per game.  The Miami defense has gotten shredded for 35.2 points against per game. They’ve been useless against the run, with 160.8 yards allowed per game.

The public has been on the Under in this game because both teams struggle to score but yet the line continues to move up to around 44.  If the line does not come back down this could be a game the Dolphins score more than 1 touchdown.  It is also reported that almost 70% of the bets are on the Dolphins and the line is not budging there.  The bookie’s don’t like to lose, sometimes they get the line wrong but these numbers are saying something.

Here are some TRENDS:

Dolphins are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week.
Over is 4-0 in Dolphins last 4 games following a ATS win.
Steelers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
Steelers are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.
