The Miami Dolphins return home to face off against the New York Jets on Monday Night Football in a battle between two winless teams.
Tua Tagovailoa has been in headlines recently for all the wrong reasons, and he’ll look to silence the critics in primetime.
My best Tua Tagovailoa odds and NFL picks for Monday, September 29, expect the Dolphins to air it out on Sunday Night Football.
Tua Tagovailoa prop pick
Tua Tagovailoa best bet: Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (-115 at bet365)
After starting the season with a 33-8 loss in Indianapolis, the Miami Dolphins have put up 27 and 21 points in their last two games against the Patriots and Bills. Tua Tagovailoa has been a big part of that with two touchdown passes in each of those last two contests after throwing one in Week 1.
The New York Jets have defended the pass well in recent weeks, only allowing one passing touchdown by Baker Mayfield and none by Josh Allen, but Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers picked them apart for 244 yards and four touchdowns in Week 1.
Tagovailoa is never going to be close to the passer that Rodgers is, but he’s connected with both De’Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle twice this season for scores, with Tyreek Hill catching his other touchdown pass.
The southpaw had multiple touchdown passes in five of 11 games last season, including two in Week 14 against the Jets at home.
Tua Tagovailoa same-game parlay
Tua Tagovailoa Over 1.5 passing touchdowns
De'Von Achane anytime touchdown
Dolphins -2.5
Over 44.5
Achane has two receiving touchdowns but has yet to run for a score this season. The Jets have allowed 34, 30, and 29 points this week; Achane should be able to take advantage.
The Dolphins are also worth a play as home favorites. They won at home last season, and it still looks like the Jets need to find their way on offense.
Given how Miami has been able to score and New York has allowed points, I’m rounding out the parlay with the Over 44.5.
