Dolphins Look to Extend Home Win Streak Against Toothless Titans
The Miami Dolphins vie for a third consecutive straight-up win on home turf Sunday afternoon, when they host the struggling Tennessee Titans in an NFL Week 5 matchup at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Dolphins suffered a lopsided 22-7 loss in Cincinnati last week on Thursday Night Football. Miami gained just 222 total yards against the Bengals while failing to cover as 7.5-point underdogs, taking their third straight against the spread loss.
While Miami has failed to produce on the road, losing five straight SU, the Dolphins have enjoyed greater success at home, winning two straight and three of their past five, but they have covered just once during that stretch.
The Titans fell 27-20 to Houston last week, dropping them to 1-3 SU and ATS on the season. Quarterback Marcus Mariota has failed to find the end zone in the Titans' last two, throwing three total picks while completing less than half of his pass attempts. That spells trouble for a Tennessee squad that is 1-5 SU in its past six road dates, and 1-10-1 ATS in 12 overall.
Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick
Sportsbooks, including Sportsbook, had set the Miami Dolphins as -3.5-point favorites on the Sportsbook line for this contest. The total was hovering around 44.5 earlier in the week (check for the current over-under lines at Sportsbook).
