The Miami Dolphins (2-6) and LA Rams (4-4) will close out the Week 10 slate with a showdown on Monday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN) from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Dolphins vs. Rams odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Dolphins are in danger of falling out of playoff contention after losing their last 3 games to sink to 2-6 on the year. QB Tua Tagovailoa is back and has started the last 2 weeks, which has led to an uptick in scoring for Miami (27.0 points per game) in those games, but the Dolphins are just 1-3 in his 4 starts this season.
The Rams are peaking at the right time, winning their last 3 games, including a 30-20 home win over the Minnesota Vikings Oct. 24 and a 26-20 overtime win at the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday. WRs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are healthy again — after suffering early-season injuries — which has provided a spark for QB Matthew Stafford and the offense.

Dolphins at Rams picks and predictions
Prediction
Rams 30, Dolphins 24
Moneyline
The Dolphins are better than their 2-6 record indicates, but one could say the same about the 4-4 Rams. Now that LA is healthy, the team is beginning to hit its stride. With C Jonah Jackson and OL Steve Avila expected to return from IR stints, the Rams offensive line should be at its best Monday night.
As long as the Rams can prevent big plays to Dolphins WRs Hill and Jaylen Waddle, they should win this game. They may not have much of a home-field advantage crowd-wise, but they’re 3-1 at SoFi Stadium this season, too.
You could BET RAMS (-135) to win outright or take the less juiced line on the spread.
Against the spread
The Rams are 3-5 ATS this season, slightly better than Miami’s 2-6 mark. They’ve covered in each of their last 2 games — against the Vikings as 2.5-point underdogs and at the Seahawks as 1-point favorites.
The Dolphins are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 games, covering in Week 9 at the Buffalo Bills as 6-point underdogs in a 30-27 loss. After a slow start to the season, the Rams are gaining momentum, which can’t be said about the Dolphins.
BET RAMS -2.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Unsurprisingly, both of these teams have played much better with their stars back. The Dolphins have scored 27 points in back-to-back games with Tagovailoa under center, while the Rams have scored 30 and 26 points in their last 2 games with Kupp and Nacua healthy.
The total is set on the higher side at 50 points, but these teams can both put up points in a hurry, and LA has had lapses in coverage that lead to big plays.
LEAN OVER 49 (-110).
