I do not gamble. I don't even play the lottery. I suggest you don't do it, either. But I study, with interest, the annual Las Vegas and Bovada over under numbers for team victories because those people are in business to make money and they often "know things," as Robert De Niro said in the movie.
The prop bets on player performance also seem interesting to me. The first one suggests the bookies don't buy that Ryan Tannehill can be much better (or worse) than last year when he threw 24 TD passes.
Here are Bovada's odds and over unders for individual Dolphins performances in 2014. You tell me, do you go over or under:
Ryan Tannehill - Total Passing Yards in the 2014 Regular Season
Over/Under 3900
Ryan Tannehill - Total Passing Touchdowns in the 2014 Regular Season
Over/Under 23½
Ryan Tannehill - Total Interceptions in the 2014 Regular Season
Over/Under 14½
Mike Wallace - Total Receiving Yards in the 2014 Regular Season
Over/Under 950½
Mike Wallace - Total Receiving Touchdowns in the 2014 Regular Season
