Surging Dolphins Look to extend Win Streak Against Stingy Rams
The Miami Dolphins look to keep their playoff hopes alive with a fifth straight outright victory when they visit the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon in an NFL Week 11 matchup at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The 5-4 Dolphins posted their third straight SU victory as underdogs on Sunday, topping the San Diego Chargers 31-24 as 4-point road underdogs. That ended Miami's five-game SU slide on the road, 1-4 ATS. The Dolphins have discovered an offensive touch during their current four-game SU win streak, tallying 29 ppg after scoring 17 or fewer points in three of their previous five.
The Rams halted a four-game SU slide with last weekend's 9-6 win over the New York Jets as 1.5-point road favorites. Despite its struggles to post SU wins, Los Angeles has turned in some solid defensive performances, holding opponents to 17 or fewer points in four of six. But the Rams have averaged just 13 ppg while going winless SU and ATS in their past three at home.
Miami has dominated in recent matchups with the Rams, posting SU wins in nine of 10, including their past three. However, the Rams hold the edge at the sportsbooks, covering in three of four against the Dolphins.
