The NFL has always branded itself as a league of parity but the betting market is showing that an inept outlier has arrived.
The Miami Dolphins are creating sports betting history and forcing oddsmakers to adjust in ways they never have.
The Dolphins are 21.5-point underdogs against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday, after closing as 18-point home 'dogs in a 43-0 loss to the New England Patriots last Sunday. In the Super Bowl era, no point spread had ever been that large within the season's first two weeks.
"The spreads are obnoxious," Ed Salmons, a 30-year oddsmaker and vice president of risk for the SuperBook at Westgate Las Vegas told ESPN.
