Miami Dolphins vs. Denver Broncos NFL Betting & Odds

Written October 31, 2008 by Jason Lowry

Editors Note: Jason Lowry has his NFL MONEYMAKER OF THE WEEK going in the Broncos Dolphins game this weekend.

This Sunday the Miami Dolphins (3-4) will head to Mile High Stadium to take on the Denver Broncos (4-3) in what should be a great matchup between these two AFC teams. Now the Broncos have lost two straight and are coming off their bye week, where they actually increased their lead in the AFC West, as the other 3 teams continue to lose. As for the Dolphins they got back on track with a big win at home against Buffalo, keeping them in the hunt in the AFC East. The oddsmakers have the Broncos as 3 point favorites over the Dolphins at BetUS.com

Last week the Dolphins finally got back on track on the offensive side of things, as Chad Pennington threw for 314 yards and a touchdown, with 175 of those yards going to receiver Ted Ginn Jr, who had one of his best games of his pro career. Ronnie Brown struggled to get it going for a second straight week, gaining just 43 yards on 14 carries, as the Dolphins failed to do much of anything on the ground. This week we expect Brown and Ricky Williams to have all kinds of success against a very weak Broncos defense.

As for the Dolphins defense, it really came to play last wee, giving up just 16 points to a Buffalo team that had lost just 1 game the whole season. They did a pretty good job against both the pass and the run, as they kept quarterback Trent Edwards from throwing a single touchdown pass, and only allowed Marshawn Lynch 61 yards and the Bills only offensive touchdown. With the Broncos well rested for this one this defense might face one of its toughest test all season. Bet Dolphins +3 at BetUS.com

The Broncos offense has really struggled over their last 4 games, as they haven’t scored 20 points since their week 3 win over the Saints when they looked like they were going to put 30 up with ease every single week. We think the Broncos will respond off the bye week with an offensive outburst this weekend, as we think Cutler will get back to form after getting the chance to heal his injured index finger. Cutler has thrown an interception in all but two games this season, and they could really use him to bring his interception numbers down. The Broncos were also a little banged up in the running game going into the bye, and there is a chance Selvin Young could see his first action in 3 weeks.

The Broncos defense had looked like it was starting to play a little better on this side of the ball, but their latest effort in New England was right back to stinky up the field, as they let the Patriots put up 41 points, as Matt Cassel through for 3 touchdowns and the Patriots racked up over 250 yards and 2 scores on the ground. This defense looks like its going to continue to struggle against the big offenses this season, and the key this week will be keeping the Dolphins from getting their running game going early.
