We should be in store for a great Monday Night Football matchup between the Dolphins and Rams tonight, as we have the Rams as 2.5-point favorites and a total of 48.5. Both offenses have proven they can move the chains and find the end zone in recent weeks, so let’s get into my Dolphins vs Rams touchdown scorer best bets for MNF. You can also find out our NFL picks on the side and total for this matchup and EVERY game throughout the 2024 season.
Dolphins vs Rams anytime touchdown scorer pick: Jonnu Smith (+300)
Odds available at BetMGM at time of publishing.
We can forget about the Dolphins games with Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson under center for the Dolphins. Those were some of the worst offensive performances we’ve seen all season long. Now that Tua Tagovailoa is back, this offense is competent and explosive. Plug in tight end Jonnu Smith, who has a 15.6% target share with Tagovailoa under center.
We’re more so attacking the price here at +300 odds. The rest of the market is coming in at around +250. If Tyreek Hill is unable to suit up, Smith should get a nice boost in this offense. An encouraging target share and snap count makes Smith a great bet to find the end zone, especially with at least 4 receptions in each of his last 4 games.
Dolphins vs Rams anytime touchdown scorer pick: Cooper Kupp (+150)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing.
When Cooper Kupp is healthy, there’s no debate that the connection between him and Matthew Stafford is among the league’s best. It was on full display last week when Puka Nacua got ejected, and Kupp, once again, became the focal point. Kupp reeled in 11 of his 14 targets and was targeted in the red zone once. The Rams do a phenomenal job moving him around the field and finding a mismatch.
We’re backing the volume of Kupp, who has had 22 targets since he returned from injury 2 weeks ago. At +150, that’s a price I’m willing to side with him on MNF against a Dolphins defense that ranks 27th in DVOA against the pass.
