Chris’ Pick

I’m siding with Miami here. The M.O. for the Dolphins this season more often than not has been beat up on the bad teams and I hate to break it to the Panthers, but they might be the worst of the bunch. This is a massive line for a professional game, but I see no reason to back the Panthers here. The Dolphins are just the far better team and I look for them to show it here. Give me Miami laying the points.
