ProFootballDoc: Injury Analysis For Saints-Dolphins Monday Night Matchup

Published|Updated

We post another winning week using injury advantages improving the season long-record to 44-35-1 (+9) against the spread.

The Chargers laid an egg against a Texans team full of COVID, but a plus-week is a plus-week.

Tonight's Monday Night matchup has a clear healthier side at Sports Injury Central.

MIAMI -3 @ NEW ORLEANS

On both sides of the ball, the Dolphins are the healthier side. The Saints are forced to start Ian Book at QB who is essentially #4 on the depth chart and their problems don't stop there. Alvin Kamara is the only bright spot. Miami has been playing well defensively and could sneak into the playoffs. The Dolphins are the right side here and maybe even consider under for the low total of 37.5.
