Dolphins vs. Steelers Prediction & Opening Odds for Monday Night Football: NFL Week 15
My best Dolphins vs. Steelers prediction based on the opening odds for Monday Night Football focuses on the defensive play of these AFC teams. The Steelers are a 3.5-point betting favorite, and Pittsburgh covering is one of the most popular early picks.
My NFL predictions for Week 15 expect this to be a low-scoring affair, highlighting recent trends and performances. Kickoff from Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN).

Stay ahead with the rest of our early NFL picks for Week 15.
Under 43 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐
Whether it be the Dolphins or their opponent, at least one team has scored fewer than 20 points in seven consecutive Miami games. No Dolphins’ game has featured more than 44 points since Week 6, when they faced the Los Angeles Chargers.
While the Steelers are averaging 23.7 points per game, they rank 27th in total offense. Turnovers have been the name of the game all season, as the Steelers have a differential of +9 (ranking fourth in the league). But even with all their turnovers, the Steelers have failed to score more than 10 points in either of their last two games against top-15 scoring defenses.
Finally, the Dolphins rank fourth in red zone defense, so even if the Steelers force a lot of turnovers, expect a lot of field goals from them. Caesars’ price of -110 implies a 52.38% chance that this Under hits. A $10 bet would profit $9.09.

Dolphins vs. Steelers line movement
The total has dropped to at least 42.5 at most of our best sports betting sites. Bettors are split evenly on whether they think the Over or Under will hit, so I expect this number to stay where it is throughout the week. If the weather ends up being a factor, as it can be at this time of the year for night games in Pittsburgh, this total will drop.
The public loves the Steelers (72%) after their road win over the Ravens. Still, I don’t anticipate this number swelling too much, as the Steelers have struggled significantly against good defenses, and the Dolphins have won four consecutive games.
