Sunday
Miami Dolphins at Minnesota Vikings (-7.5)
Total: 44.5
PickCenter public consensus pick: 55 percent picked Minnesota
Johnson: I'm sure that everybody reading this has seen the final play of the Dolphins-Patriots game by now. It was incredible in a lot of ways on the field, but it also had ramifications in sportsbooks everywhere. Congratulations are in order to Miami for ruining moneyline parlays and teasers around the world.
There may be some chatter about how the Dolphins will respond after winning a game in such dramatic fashion and talk that we can expect them to be flat, etc. I don't necessarily buy it. I think it is just as plausible that Miami will use the miraculous win to carry its momentum and confidence into this next game. The win put the Dolphins in a position to make a run at the playoffs as well, which not many expected just a few days ago.
