Los Angeles (4-4) is fresh off a thrilling overtime victory over the Seattle Seahawks in which they salvaged the first half of their season. With star duo <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/07\/15\/2024-fantasy-football-profile-cooper-kupp\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Cooper Kupp<\/a> and Puka Nacua now healthy, the Rams have the firepower to make a serious postseason push in a surprisingly weak NFC West.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Miami (2-6) has experienced a nightmare season. Star quarterback <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/09\/13\/a-nightmare-in-miami-causes-concern-for-franchise-quarterback\/\" target=\"_self\">Tua Tagovailoa missed significant time due to another concussion<\/a>. As such, the Dolphins&#8217; offense has struggled mightily, with playmakers like Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and others suffering sub-par seasons. They must capitalize on home-field advantage to save their season.<\/p>\n<h2>Tua Tagovailoa and Miami are Desperate for a Season-Saving Victory Against Matthew Stafford in a Thrilling Monday Night Football Battle.<\/h2>\n<h2>Rams vs Dolphins Odds<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Moneyline:<\/b> Dolphins (-105) vs Rams (-115)<\/li>\n<li><b>Spread:<\/b> Dolphins +1.0 (-110) vs Rams -1.0 (-110)<\/li>\n<li><b>Over\/Under:\u00a0<\/b>Over 50.0 (-110) \/ Under 50.0 (-110)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rams vs Dolphins Prediction<\/h2>\n<h3>LA Rams 21, MIA Dolphins 24<\/h3>\n<p>The Rams&#8217; offense is finally poised for a breakout. Matthew Stafford and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/04\/27\/kyren-williams-blake-corum-fantasy-football-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Kyren Williams<\/a> have been rare pillars of consistency in LA&#8217;s offense. However, the infusion of Cooper and Nacua, combined with breakout star Demarcus Robinson, gives the Rams one of the more complete and dangerous offenses in football. While Los Angeles&#8217; defense, which ranks in the bottom third of the league in yards per game allowed, could anchor the club&#8217;s upside, the Rams have everything they need to compete each week.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the Dolphins were unable to salvage their season last week. While the team performed admirably against the juggernaut Bills, Miami fell just short as Buffalo kicked a game-winning field goal in the waining seconds to send the club t0 a heartbreaking 2-6 record. The franchise, which had legitimate Super Bowl hopes at the beginning of the season, now has only an <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2024\/upshot\/miami-dolphins-nfl-playoff-picture.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">11% chance to crack the AFC postseason field<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the Rams&#8217; porous secondary ranks <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/articles\/nfl\/2024-nfl-defense-rankings-team-pass-and-rush-stats\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">23rd in football at containing the pass<\/a>, allowing 225.6 passing yards per game. Stars like Hill and Waddle are primed to finally break out of their slumps and give Miami the boost they so desperately need.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170468&#8243;]<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Rams vs Dolphins Best Bets<\/h2>\n<h3>Tyreek Hill Over 100 Receiving Yards (+235)<\/h3>\n<p>Hill has been one of the most disappointing players in the NFL so far. Universally through of as one of the most dangerous playmakers in the game, the multi-time Pro-Bowler has been limited to just 55.8 yards per game and just one touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, the Dolphins success is predicated on Hill&#8217;s ability to stretch the field and terrorize opposing defenses. Expect Mike McDaniel to pull out all the stops as he attempts to save the year, and possibly his job, in a Hill-heavy offensive attack.<\/p>\n<p>Miami&#8217;s #1 receiver is a lock to surpass his 73.5 over\/under, and should have no trouble eclipsing the 100 receiving yard mark. Bet the over with confidence!<\/p>\n<h3>Jaylen Waddle Over 41.5 Receiving Yards (-110)<\/h3>\n<p>Miami&#8217;s co-star is also set for a big day. Waddle is already averaging 38.8 receiving yards per game this season, despite Tua missing much of the season. Now, the former Alabama star gets the benefit of a healthy quarterback, a poor pass defense, and a high scoring game script.<\/p>\n<p>There is a real possibility that Waddle hits the over on a single reception in this game. He is also a smart bet to find the end zone at some point in the matchup (+175)<\/p>\n<h3>Cooper Kupp Over 64.5 Receiving Yards (-110)<\/h3>\n<p>Kupp may face a difficult challenge matched up against Miami <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/10\/13\/dolphins-defense-rising-to-the-occasion-in-miami\/\" target=\"_self\">superstar<\/a> Jalen Ramsey. However, co-star Nacua may also draw Ramsey&#8217;s attention.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams will need to rely on their offense in this high-scoring affair. Expect Kupp to break a couple bigs plays have no trouble surpassing 65 receiving yards.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Courtesy of Steven Bisig &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 10&#8217;s Rams vs Dolphins Monday Night battle features two dangerous offenses and matchups bettors will want to use to their advantage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2957,"featured_media":199100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32810,34,4],"tags":[1920,6671,4443,297],"class_list":["post-198949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-predictions","category-rams","category-dolphins","tag-cooper-kupp","tag-jaylen-waddle","tag-tua-tagovailoa","tag-tyreek-hill"],"modified_by":"Joshua Stewart","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2957"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
