Fins at Panthers in Thursday Night Thriller
If you like smash mouth, up the gut running pro football odds, then this is your game. When the Miami Dolphins head to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers, don’t expect a big passing game. These are two teams that run the ball and can do little else very well so expect a healthy dose of handoffs and then some more running plays.
Both teams enter this football odds match up with identical 4-5 records and would love nothing more to get to .500. Neither team is probably as bad as their record indicates and inching closer to a winning record would be a big step up for both squads.
The Panthers got off to a rotten start but have since re-grouped and ran over the competition over the past month. The Dolphins are victims of the toughest schedule in the pro football odds this year and regardless of the outcome in week 11 will have a hard finishing the season over .500.
It’s no secret that both teams’ offenses are built around the run. The Dolphins can’t throw the ball -they have no receivers- and that’s what separates the NFL football odds between these two squads. The Cats’ QB, Jake Delhomme, has improved since week one and his seasoned WRs like Steve Smith should have a field day against a terrible Miami secondary.
Miami has a decent run defense but with three rookies starting in the secondary the Panthers will go to the air and go for the jugular, mixed of course with a healthy dose of DeAngelo Williams, to soften up the Dolphins interior.
The home team is favored by 3½ points and will uncharacteristically go to the air to win this Thursday night football odds matchup.
