Miami Favored by 4

[So Be]

The early line was Miami by 3 but, many are believing in the Dolphins winning this game, with some thinking it will not be close. Early season bets are tuff as you do not know who is who on what teams actually have. I fully expect Miami to win but. it could be closer than some think. Not a big bet for me.

Opinions?

You never know what will happen in the first couple of games. I think Miami is heads and shoulder better than Washington, but the first game you never know. That being said I wouldn't be shock if Miami pitched a shutout and scored 30...lol

I don't like being favored... Much rather be the underdog

[Dolfan1]

Miami wins by at least a TD or more.

The Christian Barack Hussein Obama calls for federal investigation on the Dolphins beating the Redskins, calling it the worse racial beating he'd ever seen, saying that one of those Redskins could've been a Cousin....

The Redskins are better then they have been given credit. With that said, there is a reason that almost everyone is picking the Dolphins to win this game. The Redskins aren't that bad, but the Dolphins ARE that good! The Dolphins have holes, but they have improved in so many areas that even the media who hates them knows that the Dolphins are going to win this game. Some of the big money leagues have the Dolphins defense ranked as the #1 defense, ahead of the Seahawks. I think a 4 point spread is crazy for the odds makers. I wish I had to money to put a ton of it on the Dolphins.

Dolphins 31 vs Redskins 17

Sal Iacono, a writer for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and better known as "Cousin Sal" on Bill Simmons' podcasts, was ESPN's new NFL gambling expert during the 2015 season. He didn't lose a pick on his weekly "SportsCenter" segment during the final six weeks of the regular season.
Sal was 15-0-3 over the last six weeks of the 2015 season and 19-2-3 over the last eight weeks.
That's pretty good.
Well, he is back this season, so let's take a look at who Cousin Sal likes in Week 1 along with his thoughts on each pick:
Game 1:

• Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5 (vs Carolina Panthers) — "Carolina is a mess defensively and on the other side of the ball I don't know how they score points. I don't know who Cam Newton is going to throw to. They are 1-5 against the spread, the Panthers are, in their last six games as road favorites. Take the Jaguars, low scoring game, plus-3.5."

Game 2:

• Baltimore Ravens +5 (at Denver Broncos) — "Gary Kubiak, 2014 offensive coordinator for the Ravens, moves on up, becomes the Broncos' head coach. Now these two teams play each other. This is going to be awkward. It is going to be like when Zayn Malik runs into his ex-band mates in a London karaoke bar ... Denver's offensive line is shaky at best and it is certainly no match for the Ravens pass rush. [Timmy] Jernigan, [Terrell] Suggs, [CJ] Mosely, It's going to be a long day for Peyton Manning and his fingertips. Ravens 4-0 against the spread on the road as underdogs. Make it 5-0."

Here is Sal's "Best Bet." He was 12-3-1 with this pick in 2015.

1. Miami Dolphins -4 (@ Washington Redskins) — "There is a mismatch on the board and it is Washington and Miami. Aside from San Francisco, no one had a worse offseason than Washington. You've got RG3-and-out. He is not even a factor anymore. Their offensive line somehow got worse from last year. In the preseason it was abysmal. The Redskins have covered one of their last eight at home. I'm taking Miami. Lay the four points. They are going to win by three touchdowns."

Agreed, the early games are the toughest to predict. I tend to think Cousins will be a better QB than RG-3, but until we really get to watch teams plan for him, and see him take all the snaps, we won't really know.

Our defense SHOULD be a monster, but until we see them in actual games, again, we don't know. Our O-Line (if healthy) should be better than last year's, but the jury is still out on that too...

I typically don't bet opening week games for these reasons. GO FINS!
