As of now, this game hasn't started yet. It's scheduled for 11/8 - 1:00 PM EST at Hard Rock Stadium. Check back once the game is underway for live score updates.

Heading into this NFL matchup, DraftKings lists the Detroit Lions as the favorite at DET -7, with the Miami Dolphins sitting as the underdog on the moneyline. The point spread currently sits at 7, and the over/under total for the game is set at 50.5, giving an early read on how competitive, and how high-scoring, oddsmakers expect this game to be.

Season-series history between the Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins isn't available for this matchup yet, so there's no head-to-head trend to lean on heading into game day.

Interestingly, the betting market and ESPN's statistical Matchup Predictor are in agreement here, both point to the Detroit Lions as the side more likely to come out on top, with the model putting their win probability at 78%. When the numbers and the odds line up this closely, it's usually a sign the gap between these two teams is real, not just a betting-market quirk.

That betting line lines up with what the standings show. The Detroit Lions currently carry a .714 win percentage on the season, compared to .143 for the Miami Dolphins. Whether that gap on paper translates to the scoreboard is a different question entirely, standings measure a whole season, while a single game can turn on one swing, one drive, or one bad quarter.

Betting lines, like win probabilities, are a snapshot, not a forecast set in stone, and they can shift right up until the 11/8 - 1:00 PM EST start time as injury news, weather, and public money move the market. This page will keep reflecting the latest numbers as they update, so it's worth a final check before Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins actually take the field.
