Teddy Bridgewater Rushing Yards Prop is currently Over/Under 5.5 (-110/-110).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Miami Dolphins O-line profiles as the 7th-best in the league this year in run blocking.
The New England Patriots defensive tackles profile as the 5th-worst DT corps in the NFL this year in regard to defending the run.
The Miami Dolphins have been faced with a stacked the box on a measly 12.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-least in the league. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
The Miami Dolphins have gone no-huddle on 13.9% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (7th-most in the NFL). This quickens the pace, resulting in more volume and stat-padding.
The Miami Dolphins have utilized some form of misdirection on 56.0% of their plays since the start of last season (5th-most in the league), which can keep the defense guessing and improve offensive efficiency.
