BookMaker has the Miami Dolphins listed as 13.5-point favorites at home against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon in week 6 of the NFL season. Miami has won five of the seven games all-time while going 6-1 ATS all-time and 2-1 ATS in the last three games in the series. Carolina is 0-4-1 ATS overall, 0-3 ATS on the road, and 0-4-1 ATS as an underdog this season while the Miami Dolphins are 4-1 ATS overall, 2-0 ATS at home, and 3-0 ATS as a favorite on the year.

The Carolina Panthers have been one of the worst teams in the NFL this season as they have yet to win a game. The Panthers have also been one of the worst teams at covering the spread going 0-4-1 ATS overall. Miami has dominated this series both straight up and at covering the spread winning five of the seven games all-time and two of the last three contests. The Dolphins have also been one of the best teams in the NFL with a record of 4-1 and have also been one of the best teams at covering the spread going 4-1 ATS overall. I don’t see anything that would change in this matchup given the disparaging difference between the two teams in terms of talent which is why I am buying the .5 point and laying the 13 points with the Miami Dolphins at home against the Carolina Panthers for this contest on Sunday afternoon.
