MIAMI GARDENS — It’s Year 2 for Sun Sentinel Dolphins columnist Chris Perkins and Dolphins writer David Furones picking prop bets, which they’ll do for all 17 regular-season games.
Prior to each game, Furones and Perkins will select a “Best Bet” and a “Longshot.” The “Best Bet” selection is a near 50-50 proposition while the “Longshot” is at least +300 or a 3-to-1 probability.
They don’t place dollar amounts on their bets, but you’re welcome to wager as much as you can afford.
Furones is 6-3 on his “Best Bets” while Perk is 1-8. On the “Longshot,” Furones is 3-6 while Perk is 1-8.
Perkins and Furones use the Hard Rock Bet app for odds. Be sure to check the South Florida Sun Sentinel predictions for Sunday’s outlook.
Perk’s Best Bet: Jaylen Waddle 10+ receiving yards 1st quarter (-105)
I’m figuring Waddle gets involved early, perhaps not on a grand scale but he gets involved. Waddle should be a prime target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and he should play a key role in getting the offense off to a respectable start.
Furones’ Best Bet: James Cook over 87.5 rushing yards (-115)
Cook is good to go from his injury scares this week coming off an active game in a win against the Chiefs. As he normally does when the Miami Central High grad visits Hard Rock Stadium, he balls out against Miami’s bad run defense.
Perk’s Longshot: Dalton Kincaid 80+ receiving yards (+500)
Kincaid, a tight end, is the Bills’ leading receiver in yards (411) and touchdowns (four), and considering the Dolphins could have concerns at cornerback, edge rusher and safety, this seems to be a good bet. The danger here is if running back James Cook has a good game. But there’s more for Kincaid…
Furones’ Longshot: Dalton Kincaid 6+ receptions (+300)
The Dolphins, of course, struggle to cover tight ends, and Kincaid has six catches for more than 100 yards in two of his last three games. He had five when the two teams last met, Week 3 in Orchard Park. Kincaid stays hot, hitting this number at Hard Rock Stadium.
