Dolphins 7.5-point favorites in Week 7 matchup with Steelers

The Miami Dolphins (3-3) are set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4) for their Week 7 matchup at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday night.

According to Tipico Sportsbook, Miami is currently 7.5-point favorites for the game. They’re also heavy favorites on the money lines, as their victory is set at -340. The over/under for the contest is 44.5 points.

Mike McDaniel’s team has fallen back to Earth after their first three games. A lot of that has to do with the injuries that they’ve suffered, as they’ve missed quarterbacks for multiple games and dealt with injuries at both tackle spots on the offensive side of the ball. On top of that, the Dolphins have struggled to get out of their own way, committing an excessive number of penalties and turnovers without taking the ball away.

The Steelers’ season has been almost as interesting as Miami’s. They signed former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and then drafted Pitt’s Kenny Pickett in the first round with the knowledge that the job would likely be the rookie’s at some point. It took just four weeks, as Pickett took over for a benched Trubisky after halftime of their Week 4 matchup with the New York Jets.

However, Pickett suffered a concussion in last week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Trubisky was able to secure the win. It’s unclear, at this point, who will go on Sunday, but neither signal-caller has been overly impressive so far.

Miami and Pittsburgh will face off on Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET.
