Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers prediction, odds, Picks & Betting Trends - NFL Week 12 

The 4-7 Miami Dolphins will host the 5-6 Carolina Panthers at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday.

The Dolphins have had two good outings in their last two games, winning both and improving the optics of their record this season. The Dolphins were expected to be playoff contenders but fizzled out in no time and have seemingly no chance of making it to the playoffs.

The Panthers started the season 3-0 and have since lost six of their next eight matches, prematurely ending any chatter about Sam Darnold being the franchise’s future. Ironically, Carolina had to sprint back to the past and recruit former franchise quarterback Cam Newton to be the starter in Darnold’s absence. The Panthers do not look like a playoff-caliber team, but a couple of wins on the bounce could change that.

Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers betting picks

The Panthers are extremely inconsistent, while the Dolphins defense is consistent at getting takeaways. Head coach Brian Flores played against Cam Newton twice last season when he was the Patriots’ quarterback and is well aware of his skillset.

The Dolphins’ defense will lead them to a small upset win in this game.

Miami Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers prediction

It’s a challenging game to call as both teams have significant weaknesses on either side of the ball. But having seen them hold the Baltimore Ravens to just 10 points on a short week in their last home game, the Dolphins are certainly favorites on Sunday.

Prediction: The Dolphins will be less than 7 points.
