Commanders vs. Dolphins odds and prop bets for Preseason Week 2 clash

The Washington Commanders end another critical week of preparations for the 2024 campaign with their second preseason outing. Dan Quinn and his players will descend on Hard Rock Stadium to take on the Miami Dolphins, which comes following a highly intriguing joint practice between the two squads earlier this week.

Things are progressing well for the Commanders this offseason. There are a few problems that could potentially hold them back, but the energy and improved enthusiasm left fans dreaming of a brighter future under this exciting new regime.

The Dolphins should provide a stern test of their credentials. Mike McDaniel's squad faltered late in 2023, but they've got the talent to hurt any team when firing on all cylinders. Quinn will be examining the performances of his players closely, especially those who are fighting with everything they have to make the 53-man roster.

Just how much time veterans and established pieces will see for both sides remains to be seen. It's unlikely to be for long considering the physicality of Thursday's joint practice. However, the head coach believes some live-fire reps in a typical game-day setting form an important part of the team's development before Week 1 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rolls around.

This is one of the final chances players will get to stake their respective claims. Catching the eye with a good play or two in this one could make all the difference. That's what preseason games are all about - grasping opportunities and forging careers.

Commanders vs. Dolphins odds for Preseason Week 2

According to the latest odds from FanDuel Sportsbook, the Commanders are 4.5-point underdogs at the Dolphins in Preseason Week 2. This is available at -110 whichever side of the points spread you fancy (bet $110 to win $100).

Anyone wishing to wager Washington on the money line can get odds of +190 attached (bet $100 to win $190). Miami is favored to secure a morale-boosting preseason success on home soil at -230 (bet $230 to win $100).

FanDuel Sportsbook isn't expecting a high-scoring affair with the over-under set at 38.5 points. Again, this is available at -110 in both directions.

Jayden Daniels prop bets

The Commanders are unlikely to give Jayden Daniels much time on the field at Hard Rock Stadium. Quinn will likely implement the same method as last week, where the No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft participated in the game's first series, leading Washington downfield with aplomb en route to the first rushing score of his professional career.

FanDuel Sportsbook has two notable prop bets surrounding the former LSU star against the Dolphins. Anyone thinking the same situation occurs this time and Daniels scores a rushing touchdown on their first drive can get appealing odds of +2000 (bet $100 to win $2,000).

If fans believe Daniels will take Washington down the field and produce the first passing touchdown of his NFL journey, FanDuel Sportsbook offers odds of +750 (bet $100 to watch $750).

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
