Dave Cokin NFL GOM
470 MIA -9.5 (-110) Southpoint vs 469 CLE
Analysis: Huge step down in class for Miami after just missing at Seattle and making a nice comeback in the loss to New England. The Dolphins should not have much trouble breaking into the win column here a‚s they play their home opener against a bad and beat up Cleveland squad. I don't see the Browns being competitive as they have to go with Cody Kessler at QB. They also lost Corey Coleman to an injury this week, and Josh Gordon is still suspended. My only worry would be overconfidence in a flat spot for Miami, but with the Dolphins being 0-2 out of the gate, it's tough to imagine they're not ready to play here. There's even a really nice tech angle here, as 0-2 teams giving a touchdown or more have a phenomenal record against the spread. No problem laying the points here in what should be a Dolphins romp.
