The 2021 Dolphins and Betting Propositions

The start of the NFL regular season brings with it all sorts of projections in terms of final records, playoff teams and, of course, fantasy football prospects.

But there's also the gambling aspect, where odds and over/under totals provide some sort of idea as to the national perception about teams and players because, let's face it, oddsmakers are generally pretty good at establishing gambling lines close to the eventually outcome.

With that in mind, we offer some regular season odds and over/under totals involving the Dolphins and some of their players, courtesy of BetOnline (BetOnline.ag).
