Dolphins vs. Panthers Predictions for NFL Week 5, Sunday 10/5

After a battle of 0-3 teams on Monday Night Football, the Dolphins were able to get their first win of the season. That sets us up for a battle of 1-3 teams this Sunday, but in that victory also came a loss for Miami with the rather gruesome Tyreek Hill knee injury.

That’s an explosive playmaker that is now out for the season, but of course, the Dolphins still have some of the other most explosive guys in the NFL, such as Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane. In other words, it’s not as if Carolina can expect to nearly reach their entire win total from last season this weekend.

Even still, we see the Dolphins vs. Panthers odds suggesting a matchup that could truly go either way. Therefore, we’re preferring not to have to trust either of these subpar teams to come through for us. That means player props are on the menu for our Dolphins vs. Panthers predictions!
 

 

 

Dolphins vs. Panthers Best Bet: Rico Dowdle Over 52.5 Rushing Yards (-117 at Novig)

We believed that the Panthers remarkable 30-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons two weeks ago was fool’s gold, and that proved to be true. Bryce Young and Carolina suffered an embarrassing 42-13 loss to the New England Patriots, and that was after a very late garbage time TD.

That said, we’re still going to be focusing on their side of the matchup for our Dolphins vs. Panthers picks. That’s in large part thanks to the discrepancy between the line play in the run game for these two teams. Carolina is surprisingly the seventh-best in the entire NFL when it comes to run block win rate.

Conversely, the Dolphins rank 28th in terms of run stop win rate. It’s also not just based on these advanced metrics - it’s played out in the box score as well. Sure, Miami got the win on MNF, but they also allowed the New York Jets to have two different players with 81 rushing yards.

If not for a Braelon Allen fumble at the goal line, they also would have allowed two rushing TDs rather than one. All of that added up to use taking Chuba Hubbard to exceed his rushing yards prop - until he was expected to miss this game as of Friday morning. Well, out only concern was him getting vultured by Rico Dowdle, so we aren't upset making the switch to the Panthers now-featured RB anyway.

The line has remained relatively the same for now, even with him set to get nearly every single carry. We'll update once again if needed, but for now, the best bet from our Dolphins vs. Panthers predictions is Chuba Hubbard over 52.5 rushing yards (-117 at Novig).
