Alright, Philadelphia, you’re starting to look like you again.

The Eagles are riding high after an emotional and somewhat dramatic overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys last week, but things don’t get any easy after just one victory. Now, it’s about keeping that streak alive and Philadelphia faces another test in a Miami Dolphins squad that is all but desperate for a victory.

Philadelphia comes into Sunday afternoon’s matchup as 5-point favorites at sportsbooks monitored by OddsSharks.

That’s a pretty confident line for an Eagles team that has been consistently inconsistent this season. Every time it seems Philadelphia has found its offensive footing, the squad seems to drop off in its next game. That’s why the Eagles are 4-2 ATS and SU in their last six games.

Still, the Dolphins haven’t done much to inspire anyone to bet against Philadelphia this afternoon.

Miami has lost two straight now and, according to OddsShark, is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games and 2-5 ATS in its last seven games on the road. The problem for the Dolphins appears to be its defense. In fact, the team comes into Week 10 with the No. 28 road-ranked defense, allowing 141.6 yards per game. That doesn’t bode well against an Eagles ground game that ranks No. 17 in rushing offense at home.

There’s also a good amount of history here and all signs of success point to the Eagles walking off the gridiron with a win. Philadelphia is 5-0 ATS and 4-1 SU  in its last five games against the Dolphins.

The total for Sunday afternoon’s Miami vs. Philadelphia betting matchup is set at 47 points at the sportsbooks. The total has gone OVER in four of Miami’s last six games on the road and OVER in eight of Miami’s last 11 games. ON the other side, the total has gone UNDER in six of the Eagles last eight games.

The OddsShark computer is predicting a 18.1 – 27.9 Philadelphia Eagles victory.
