It is fairly clear that Tony Sparano isn’t a very happy man right now. After last week’s 16-6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons at home in which the team failed to reach the end zone, Sparano announced that he will indeed use his starters against the Cowboys in the preseason finale.

This immediately jolted the football game odds down to make Miami a short favorite instead of a three point underdog at the opening of lines.

How long the Miami starters will play is still anyone’s guess. We know that Chad Henne is probably going to need to do a better job of hooking up with his receivers that are going to be in the rotation starting next weekend. Brandon Marshall and Anthony Fasano, the team’s best receiver and tight end respectively, only have a combined 11 catches in three games.

Wade Phillips was fairly irate after Dallas was dumped by the Houston Texans 23-7 at Reliant Stadium last week. He promptly came out the next day in the media and said that he would be utilizing his starters as well in spite of the fact that this is the fifth preseason game for the Cowboys.

On Wednesday though, he changed his mind. Stephen McGee will get the starting nod in what will be the most important game of his career.

McGee is still trying to prove that he is worthy of a spot in the NFL, and this preseason has been a mixed bag that hasn’t helped that cause any. The former Texas A&M Aggie has gone 26-of-45 for 220 yards and he has yet to either throw a touchdown pass or a pick.

The worse news for McGee is that he probably won’t get much help from his ground game. The Cowboys rank dead last in the league in rushing and have yet to score a rushing TD in the preseason.

NFL Insider Tip: Neither one of these teams has been particularly proficient on offense in the preseason, and the end result has been a combined six ‘unders’ against just one ‘over’ contest.

How could we not play the ‘under’ once again? This would be a bunch of points for the Dolphins and Cowboys to reach if this were a regular season game, let alone one in the preseason. This should once again be a relatively sloppy contest, and the end result should be an easy win for players of the ‘under’ on the football game odds.
