  • The Philadelphia Eagles host the Miami Dolphins with both teams having earned a 5-1 record
  • Jalen Hurts will want an improved performance while Tua Tagovailoa will want to rack up the stats
  • The Dolphins have won their previous two games but have not played the Eagles since 2019

Two teams setting the pace in their conferences will take to Lincoln Financial Field.

The Philadelphia Eagles will welcome the Miami Dolphins in the game of Week 7, with both suffering just one defeat this season.

The Eagles have had an easier schedule so far while the Dolphins have been outstanding, save for a 28-point reverse against the Buffalo Bills.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Miami Dolphins Betting Preview

Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia

When: Sunday, October 22, 8:20 pm local time

Odds: Eagles (1.64) vs Dolphins (2.274) - view all lines

Betting on the Philadelphia Eagles (1.64)

The NFC champions Philadelphia Eagles have had a positive set of results despite the lacklustre form of Superbowl quarterback, Jalen Hurts.

A surprisingly weak offensive line has left Hurts repeatedly exposed this season. They will need to fix that as they will be up against one of the strongest pass-rush defense in the league.

The Eagles' defense is no slouch either, recording 20 sacks this season, with Haason Reddick and Jordan Davis leading the line. Their run defense is strong, but gives up yards in the backfield.

In D'Andre Swift they possess a productive running back, while AJ Brown and Devanta Smith will prove mobile targets for Hurts.

Betting on the Miami Dolphins (2.274)

Apart from their defeat to the Bills in Week 4, the Dolphins have been racking up the numbers on both sides of the ball.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been orchestrating the offence with style, hitting his receivers with regularity and having running back Raheem Mostert eating up yards.

Tyreek Hill has been in league-leading form this season, recording four 150-plus yard games. When not watching Hill torch defenders, Jaylen Waddle is an ever-present option on the fringes.

The Dolphins too have a strong pass rush but when that option fails, tend to get burned by opposing receivers.

Writer's Prediction

The Eagles (1.64) have home-field advantage but the Dolphins (2.274) look to have the assets that will earn them a third straight win over Philadelphia
