The Atlanta Falcons will travel to face the Miami Dolphins on Friday to kickstart their 2023 preseason schedule at Hard Rock Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Falcons vs. Dolphins odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Falcons registered a 7-10 record in 2022, which was only 1 game behind the division-winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There is more excitement surrounding Atlanta in 2023 with QB Desmond Ridder getting the nod under center and the arrival of rookie RB Bijan Robinson.
The Dolphins seemed poised for a postseason berth in 2022 before QB Tua Tagovailoa dealt with various injuries. In Mike McDaniel’s second year as head coach, Miami could push for contention this season despite All-Pro CB Jalen Ramsey missing time due to undergoing knee surgery recently.
Neither team is expected to play starters for an extended period of time in Friday’s exhibition contest.
