Much of that has to do with the puzzling overtime victory over the Bills in which Buffalo moved up and down the field for 514 total yards before expiring. And while Joe Flacco is putting up numbers similar to 2009\u2019s, his body language tells another story and you wonder if he and the coaching staff are on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>All of this may create the smallest of openings for the 4-3 Dolphins, who are undefeated on the road this season and desperately need this victory to stay in the AFC East race \u2013 both New England (6-1) and the Jets (5-2) are road favorites.<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins have offensive problems of their own. They were life and death to break 20 against a poor Bengals defense last weke, and if the season ended today their MVP might be placekicker Rob Carpenter (18 field goals in 7 games). The vertical passing game that figured to blossom with the arrival of Brandon Mashall has yet to materialize.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The total has gone OVER in 4 of Miami&#8217;s last 5 games when playing on the road against Baltimore<br \/>\nBaltimore is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 5 of Baltimore&#8217;s last 6 games at home<br \/>\nMiami is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games on the road<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 5 of Miami&#8217;s last 6 games on the road<br \/>\nMiami is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Baltimore<br \/>\nThe total has gone OVER in 4 of Baltimore&#8217;s last 5 games when playing at home against Miami<br \/>\nBaltimore is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games<\/p>\n<p><em>The picks: The Dolphins\u2019 road split (4-0 away from home, 0-3 in Miami) can probably be written off as just one of those things, and to a man the players would tell you that they prefer to play in Florida.
