The Sunday Night Football game between the Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles is the marquee matchup on the Week 7 NFL schedule.
The Dolphins and their high-octane offense have been a fireworks display each week, and the Eagles — while not yet having hit their potential — still find themselves at 5-1 and atop the NFC East.
What makes this game so exciting is the same reason it makes it so difficult to predict a game script. With multiple explosive players on both teams, one big play can flip the script on its head. Lately, it's been Tyreek Hill and A.J. Brown. However, there is no reason it can't be DeVonta Smith and Jaylen Waddle on SNF.
For our game script, we will be focusing on more high-level props than trusting any of these receivers to have a big game.
However, if you want to swap any legs for a prop on the receiver you believe in, I can’t blame you. Here's my four-leg, Dolphins vs. Eagles same game parlay for Sunday Night Football.

Dolphins vs. Eagles
Eagles
1H -1.5
The Eagles are 4-2 against the spread in the first half of games this season. Coming off their first loss and playing at home, I am expecting Philly to get back to its roots. This is a team built on the run to open up its deep passing attack. Last week, when the rushing game was taken away, Jalen Hurts was forced to become a volume thrower. That was problematic for the Eagles.
Philly will get back to running behind its run-blocking line, which is ranked second in the league per PFF. This will help keep the Dolphins' offensive track stars on the sideline. A strong, physical start at home should get the home crowd involved early. This will allow the Eagles to continue their success against the spread in the first half.
Dolphins vs. Eagles
D'Andre Swift
Over 62.5 Rushing Yards
If the Eagles are grounding and pounding, the man that benefits most will be D’Andre Swift, who is sixth in the league in rushing yards per game and has crossed this mark in three of five contests since becoming the starter.
Miami’s defense has looked more competent against the run than it actually is, thanks to the early leads it has taken in games. In Week 1, however, the Chargers ran it down the Dolphins' throat. Then, last week the Panthers were productive rushing the ball, until Miami pulled away.
The Dolphins' run defense can be taken advantage of, and that should play right into the hands of the Eagles and Swift, who has the opportunity to crush this line.
Dolphins vs. Eagles
Dolphins
Over 12.5 2H Points
The Dolphins have played in just one game this season that was competitive in the second half. In Week 1, Miami traded blows with the Chargers and eventually came out on top. The reason that game was competitive from start to finish was because the Dolphins struggled to run the ball and the Chargers struggled to stop the pass.
Against Philadelphia, a similar situation could arise. The Eagles, with the league’s top-graded run defense, will face Miami's 21st-graded run-blocking front. I believe the Dolphins will try to establish the run early but could be stone-walled.
If so, it will put them behind the eight-ball, and down at the half. And if they're down at the half, they'll have to throw to catch up in the second half — much like they did against the Chargers when they had multiple explosive plays in a high-scoring second half.
Dolphins vs. Eagles
Tua Tagovailoa
300+ Passing Yards
Just like Swift is the key to the Eagles winning the first half, Tagovailoa will be the key to the Dolphins scoring in the second half.
The Eagles rank 21st in coverage, per PFF, and their starting corners are 32 and 30 years old, respectively. Those older players will be attempting to chase Hill and Waddle. These speedsters should be able to break open and find run-after-catch opportunities at will.
