The Miami Dolphins'and Tampa Bay Buccaneers meet in their preseason opener Saturday. Kickoff from Raymond James Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dolphins vs. Buccaneers odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Dolphins are expected to have a new-look offense in 2022, as WR Tyreek Hill comes over from the Kansas City Chiefs. However, new coach Mike McDaniel hinted that QB Tua Tagovailoa might not play Saturday.
In addition, T Terron Armstead, CB Xavien Howard and OLB Melvin Ingram have been ruled out for the exhibition opener. Hill is also unlikely to play.
For the Buccaneers, future Hall of Fame QB Tom Brady is away from the team tending to a personal matter, and he is not expected to be with the team for a chunk of the preseason. It’s uncertain if new WRs Russell Gage and/or Julio Jones will be in the lineup.
