The Miami Dolphins (4-5 SU, 4-5 ATS, 6-3 O/U) and Carolina Panthers (4-5 SU, 4-5 ATS, 5-4 O/U) will both be looking to get to .500 when the mirror-like teams square off at Bank of America Stadium on Thursday night at 8:00 PM ET.

Both teams have alternated wins and losses in each of their last five games while going an identical 4-2 against the NFL point spread over the span of their last six contests.

The Panthers have covered the NFL moneyline in three consecutive games while the Dolphins had their two-game ATS winning streak snapped their last time out.

Dolphins at a glance

Miami may have won two of their last three coming into this contest, but they aren’t playing very well in my estimation.

The Fins needed a Herculean effort on Sunday just to beat the one-win Tampa Bay Buccaneers 25-23 at home, winning on Dan Carpenter’s 25-yard field goal with just 10 seconds remaining in regulation.

Miami will have to contend with a Panthers team that has played fantastic football over the past three weeks, recording two solid upsets over the Cardinals and Falcons in the process.

The Dolphins will also likely be without starting running back Ronnie Brown who suffered a foot and ankle injury in Miami’s win over the Bucs.

Panthers at a glance

Carolina has been on a roll lately, laying two solid beatings on Arizona and Atlanta and nearly pulling off an upset of the undefeated New Orleans Saints in between those victories.

Carolina’s defense has been playing phenomenal football lately, picking off Matt Ryan twice in Sunday’s convincing 28-19 win just one week after forcing Drew Brees into two turnovers and picking off Cardinals’ quarterback Kurt Warner five times the week before that.

Even better for the Panthers, is the fact that veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme appears to have gotten over an absolutely abysmal early-season slump, throwing three TD passes and no picks over the last three games after throwing 4 TD passes and a whopping 13 picks over his first six starts.

Key Trends

Dolphins are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games.

Panthers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Over is 5-1 in Dolphins last 6 games overall.

Under is 4-0 in Panthers last 4 games as a home favorite
