The Miami Dolphins travel to Inglewood, California, to face the Los Angeles Rams for the final game of the NFL’s Week 10 slate on “Monday Night Football” (8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN). The Dolphins enter Monday night’s matchup on a three-game losing streak and despite Tua Tagovailoa‘s return under center, Miami has lost by one score in back-to-back games.
Meanwhile, the Rams are on a three-game winning streak, coming off a huge overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. Matthew Stafford has found success with his top two receivers, Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, back on the field.
Both the Dolphins and Rams have two of most high-powered offenses in the NFL and this game opened with one of the highest totals of the week (50.5). The line has since ticked down to 48.5 likely due to the status of Tyreek Hill, who is listed as a game-time decision for Monday night with a wrist injury. The Rams are 2.5-point favorites and currently have +500 odds to win the NFC West.

Why Fulghum expects a high-scoring affair in Dolphins-Rams
Tyler Fulghum likes the over to hit in the Dolphins and Rams’ Monday night clash.
Rams (-2.5), Rams team total over 24.5 points
Tyler Fulghum: The Rams are in a good spot for Monday night. This team has never been healthier than it is entering this Week 10 matchup with the Dolphins. OL Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson are coming back from injury and WRs Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are healthy. The Rams’ defense is starting to click behind Defensive Rookie of the Year favorite Jared Verse. Meanwhile, the Dolphins season may already be over. Miami is 2-6 and Tyreek Hill dealing with a wrist injury. With the Rams offense (almost) fully healthy, I think L.A. is primed the same second-half surge as last season.
Puka Nacua over 69.5 receiving yards
Eric Moody: Stafford and the Rams’ passing attack has been strong whenever Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are on the field together. Nacua surpassed this line in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, catching seven of nine targets for 106 yards. He was ejected last week against the Seahawks in the first quarter but still managed one reception for 11 yards on four targets Nacua averaged 90.3 receiving yards per game last season when targeted at least seven times. He is set up for another productive week with Stafford under center on Monday night.
