Dolphins vs. Eagles: Player Props
Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins QB, Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-140)*
Tua Tagovailoa is tied for the most passing touchdowns in the NFL with 14. The 25-year old 5th overall pick from 2020 is averaging 312.7 yards and 2.3 touchdowns per game. He’s thrown touchdowns to 7 different receivers, averages 9.5 yards per passing attempt, and completes over 70% of his throws. Tua is putting up MVP numbers, and against an Eagles secondary that’s given up 11 passing touchdowns in 6 games, Tagovailoa will hit the over on his 1.5 passing touchdowns prop.
A.J. Brown, Eagles WR, Over 5.5 Receptions (-135)*
A.J. Brown is on a roll. In his last 4 games, the Eagles No. 1 wide receiver has gone over 125 receiving yards, and has dominated the teams target share. Brown is averaging 10 targets and 7 receptions per game, and leads Philadelphia in every receiving stat there is. A.J. Brown is clearly quarterback Jalen Hurts’ top target, and against a Dolphins defense that’s allowing 24.2 receptions per game, hit the over on Brown’s 5.5 receptions prop.

Dolphins vs. Eagles Game Predictions
Take the Miami Dolphins to win the game over the Eagles. This one is going to be a shootout, but because of Miami’s incredible offense, I’m going with the Dolphins. That’s not to say the Eagles aren’t a great team, but the Dolphins have so much speed and skill on their offense, I don’t see this Eagles defense, which is giving up nearly 300 yards per game, slowing down Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Raheem Mostert. The Eagles will need their QB Jalen Hurts to be at his best, but an overlooked aspect of Miami’s scheme is their pass rush. The Dolphins have the most QB hits and are tied for the 3rd most sacks, meaning Hurts won’t have much time in the pocket.
However, when the Dolphins can’t get to the quarterback, their secondary suffers, allowing a near 70% completion rate. The Eagles wideouts could be in for a big day. There are stars all over the field in this one, and no matter how you look at it, this matchup is certainly the game of the week. I can’t wait to see how it plays out, but because of Miami’s speed, versatility, and unique play calling, I’m going with the Dolphins.
Pick Moneyline: Miami Dolphins (+114)
