The Philadelphia Eagles (5-1) are favored by 2.5 points versus the Miami Dolphins (5-1) on October 22, starting at 8:20 PM ET, airing on NBC. 

The Eagles were defeated 20-14 in their last game by the New York Jets, while the Dolphins took down the Carolina Panthers 42-21 in their Week 6 matchup. 

Here's everything you need to know about the matchup between the Dolphins and Eagles — the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and an expert pick from Sam Panayotovich.

• Prediction: Miami 28 - Philadelphia 27

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sam Panayotovich

The Eagles’ sloppy play finally caught up to them.

After surviving and winning one-score games against teams like the Patriots, Vikings and Commanders, the Eagles turned the ball over four times against a very stingy Jets defense and lost a 20-14 rock fight.

I don’t think it’s as easy as flipping on a switch, either.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts is a major reason for Philly’s red-zone struggles. He has the same amount of touchdowns (7) as interceptions (7) and the Eagles are only scoring touchdowns on 45% of their red-zone opportunities. For context, they scored six at a 68% clip in 2022.  

Miami is a much better football team right now with an offense that’s as creative and diverse as... well… the Eagles were last year.

PICK: Dolphins (+2.5) to lose by fewer than 2.5 points (or win outright)
