The Miami Dolphins head to Detroit to take on the Lions for their Week 8 matchup. The Dolphins are undefeated in games Tua Tagovailoa starts — and finishes.
Miami lost the two-and-a-half games they had to play without him, but he showed on Sunday Night last week that he is ready for action and has not missed a beat. The Dolphins are the team to watch in the AFC.
While the Lions boast the worst record in the league, they are much better than their record would imply. Detroit is one of the highest-scoring teams in the league. If their defense can find its way, they will become a solid unit.
It's a bit of a homecoming for Dan Campbell in this one. Campbell was the interim head coach in 2015 and helped the Dolphins win five of their last 12 games. Unfortunately, it wasn't a strong enough showing to stick around. He did some coaching in New Orleans before Detriot offered him his first head coach position.

Miami Dolphins vs. Detroit Lions Best Picks
While he did not on Sunday Night, Tua can lightup the scoreboard, and it's already been established that Detriot can too. So this will likely be the highest scoring game on the slate. The over is an easy move, and an ALT total wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Miami Dolphins vs. Detroit Lions Prediction
The Lions have been competitive this season, and they cannot just be wrriten off as they have been in past years. However, this Miami team is unbeatable with Tua under center. Tua is smart in the pocket, he can sling it, and he can get the job done with his feet. He is an absoulte threat, and is becoming a force in the NFL.
While the Lions are always a contender for an upset, Tua has beaten the Patriots, Ravens, Bills, and Steelers; it's hard to imagine him falling to the Lions, so bettors are wise to jump on the spread while it's so low.
Miami -3.5 (-110)
