The Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers Free NFL Football Picks spread is Carolina -3 at Sportsbook.com.

Carolina Panthers Offense vs. Miami Dolphins Defense: Carolina’s run-based #23 ranked offense will meet Miami #28 ranked 3-4 defense. Carolina struggles with teams who feature the 3-4 look and their offensive strength of running the football plays right into Miami’s hands with their #7 run defense. Carolina QB Jake Delhomme (1658 yds, 7-13 ratio, 67.0 rating) has played better in recent weeks but his O-line is shaky and Miami has a decent pass-rush. When Delhomme is upright he should be able to make a few big plays to his All-Pro WR Steve Smith against the Dolphins suspect cover corners. This match-up is a wash. The Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers Free NFL Football Picks Total is at 42.5 NFL Football Betting points.

Miami Dolphins Offense vs. Carolina Panthers Defense: Miami’s run-first #13 ranked wildcat offense will meet Carolina’s #23 ranked 4-3 defense.  Miami will have to deal with a big blow to their offense with RB/Wildcat specialist Ronnie Brown injured. With Brown sidelined the workhorse will be 230 Lb. RB Ricky Williams (751 yds, 5.3 ypc, 7 td) who has shown incredible burst, balance and power this season. Carolina is below-average against the run and Williams along with wildcat QB Pat White (4.40 40-speed) should have success against a Panthers D that allows 4.7 ypc. Miami QB Chad Henne (194 yds gm, 5-4 ratio, 76.3 rating) is coming into his own and should be able to make some plays if his wideouts can hold on to the ball. Carolina has a mediocre pass-rush and Miami’s O-line is a mean group that will give the smart young QB time to throw. Slight edge Miami.

Free Sports Picks Intangibles: Miami is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 away games. Carolina has a +3 point home-field advantage. Miami has a big edge on special teams. Miami has the edge in coaching.
