Why This Trend Exists

The Dolphins' struggles as home favorites following multiple losses stem from a franchise-wide pattern of inconsistent emotional responses to adversity. Miami has historically been a team that relies heavily on momentum and confidence, making them particularly vulnerable when returning home after extended road struggles. The pressure of playing in front of frustrated home fans following consecutive defeats often amplifies existing issues rather than providing the expected boost. Miami's organizational culture under various coaching regimes has shown a tendency toward overcompensation following losing streaks. When the team returns home desperate for a bounce-back performance, they often abandon the methodical approach that makes them competitive and instead force plays or strategies that don't align with their personnel strengths. This is particularly evident in their offensive game-planning, where they've historically struggled to maintain identity when facing heightened expectations. The betting market consistently overvalues Miami's home-field advantage in these spots, creating inflated lines that don't account for the team's psychological fragility following adversity. Smart bettors should view Miami home favorites after multiple losses as prime fade candidates, especially when the spread exceeds a field goal. This trend carries the most weight when Miami faces divisional opponents or teams with strong road records, where the opponent's familiarity or confidence can exploit the Dolphins' fragile state.
