Saturday’s Best NFL Preseason Picks & Bets: Dolphins vs. Lions
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Miami Dolphins vs. Detroit Lions
Starters are bound to play a little more this week, if they are going to play at all in the preseason. But even if we do see Tua Tagovailoa, we will not see him for long. Jared Goff is not expected to play. With those two out for most - or all - of the game, we'll get a heavy dose of Hendon Hooker and Quinn Ewers.
From what these two have shown us so far, don't expect much from either offense in this game. Miami scored 24 points last week versus the Bears, but their longest drive was 58 yards. The Lions scored 24 points in two games. Points will be scarce in this game.
Pick: Under 36.5 Points (-105)
