What this line assumes
What this line assumes, and what the data shows. You make the call.
The read
Miami Dolphins are 0-3 on the season and have hit the team total in 0 of 3 graded games (0%), measured against each game's own closing line.
The current team total number of 13.5 assumes a game environment in line with the posted total and spread.
A trailing game script would shift Miami Dolphins's pace and play-calling and move the team total outcome.
