The Miami Dolphins head west for a meeting with the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night football.
The pregame narrative: L.A. has its offensive playmakers back and I’m expecting the Rams to continue to roll with another win at home. The over on Matthew Stafford’s passing prop is also a good bet with his receivers healthy.

Best Bet: Rams -1 (-113)
I backed the Rams in this week’s ATS picks but I have a chance to elaborate further.
To start, Los Angeles is 8-2 in its last 10 games with both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp active and it is understandable why.
Both are among the elite receivers in football and Kyren Williams has turned into one of the more consistently good running backs in the league.
Since getting their star pass catchers back, the Rams are 2-0 with big wins over the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings.
Miami started the season as a strong defensive team but the cracks are starting to form. It’s allowed an average of 28.5 points over the last two weeks.
Tua Tagovailoa has returned but things haven’t gotten better for the 2-6 Dolphins. They are 0-2 since he returned and although the offence has improved, the injury-riddled defence is struggling to contain opponents.
Key stat: The Rams are 3-1 at home while the Dolphins are 1-3 on the road.
Quick pick
Stafford over 248.5 passing yards (-113): Stafford is celebrating his receivers coming back by slinging the football.
The Rams’ quarterback attempted 78 passes across the last two weeks while completing 50 of them for 577 yards, easily clearing this line in both contests.
Miami has been good for most of the season at containing QBs as they allow the fourth-fewest passing yards per game (183.1)
However, as mentioned before, there are cracks in the foundation and Kyler Murray and Josh Allen combined to average 270 yards against Miami across the last two weeks.
I don’t know if there is an offensive core that offers more than the Rams when fully healthy and I predict Stafford to continue being the top beneficiary.
