Week 7 provides us with an AFC showdown under the bright lights in Miami, as the Dolphins play host to Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returns to the lineup for the first time since suffering his concussion vs. the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4, and he will face a Steelers defense that gets pressure at one of the lowest rates in the NFL despite blitzing at a top-10 rate.
Miami is looking to snap a three-game losing streak, as this once 3-0 team is now at .500 and in third place in the AFC East. The Steelers got back on track with their upset win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday, but still reside in last place in the AFC North with a 2-4 record. Pickett suffered a concussion last week, but he has cleared protocol and will get the start Sunday. Both the Dolphins and Steelers are fighting to show that they are better than their record indicates. Who will win this battle on Sunday night?
Below, we will break down this matchup from a gambling perspective and examine the line movement, Over/Under and player props to consider. First, here’s how you can watch Sunday’s matchup.
