Betting Trends Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Miami Dolphins

Updated:Dec 28, 2025 1:10 AM EST

The upcoming NFL matchup on December 28, 2025, features the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visiting the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. This Sunday football game promises exciting action as both teams vie for crucial wins late in the regular season.

The starting quarterbacks are Tua Tagovailoa for the Dolphins and Baker Mayfield for the Buccaneers. Miami's offense averages 186.5 passing yards and 122.4 rushing yards per game, while Tampa Bay posts 198.3 passing yards and 116.9 rushing yards. Defensively, Miami allows 209.1 passing yards and 130.3 rushing yards, whereas Tampa Bay gives up 242 passing yards and 101.3 rushing yards. Tampa Bay's stronger pass offense against Miami's pass defense could tilt the aerial battle in their favor, but Miami's balanced attack and solid rushing defense may counter this.

The point spread is set at Tampa Bay -5.5 with an over/under of 44.5 points. Tampa Bay is favored, but Miami's recent home performances and ATS record of 7-8 overall and 4-4 at home suggest this game could be competitive. Tampa Bay's ATS record is weaker at 5-10 overall and 4-4 on the road. This game is broadcast on FOX, offering fans a great viewing experience.

Injuries could play a role, with Miami's linebacker Tyrel Dodson questionable but likely to play and offensive lineman Aaron Brewer also questionable. Tampa Bay has key players like outside linebacker Anthony Nelson and defensive lineman Calijah Kancey out, with linebacker Lavonte David questionable. These absences might affect Tampa Bay's defensive pressure and run defense.

In their last meeting on August 23, 2024, the Buccaneers defeated the Dolphins 24-14 at Raymond James Stadium, showcasing Tampa Bay's ability to control the game. Bettors should consider these betting trends and game insights when making their picks. Ready to bet smarter?
