Week 14 of the NFL season features multiple intra-conference matchups and the final Monday Night Football doubleheader of the year. The first MNF matchup pits the AFC-leading Miami Dolphins (9-3) against the Tennessee Titans (4-8).

Miami comes into Monday Night Football following three consecutive wins after the Week 10 bye. Last week the Dolphins' offense shined in a 45-15 win over the Washington Commanders (4-9), scoring 24 points in the first half. The defense has stepped up recently as well, allowing a season-low 159 total yards to the New York Jets in Week 12 and scoring a touchdown last week against the Commanders.

The Titans dropped a close game to division foe Indianapolis 31-28 in overtime last week to move to 2-4 since their bye week. Tennessee rushed for a season-high 177 yards last week against the Colts in what's been a tough season for the Titans' offense. That unit's in the bottom 10 in the league in points (17.8) and yards (292.1) per game this season. The defense hasn't consistently kept the team in games, either, allowing at least 20 points in five of the last six games.

Miami's final primetime game kicks off a string of three consecutive home matchups. The Titans are looking to get a win in their sole Monday Night Football game of 2023 ahead of matchups against more playoff-bound teams.

Best anytime touchdown bets for Week 14 Monday Night Football

All odds courtesy of DraftKings as of Sunday Evening.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (-190)

The Titans' defense has given up four touchdowns to outside receivers in the last three games. Hill's been the best wide receiver in the NFL in 2023 and has scored a touchdown in 10 of the Dolphins' 12 games this season. Tennessee has let leading receivers stack up yards and catches with abandon this year. Miami is the best offense they'll play all season and Hill is set up perfectly for a big game on Monday Night Football.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (+130)

Hopkins is the Titans' top wideout this season and leads the offense in targets, catches, and touchdowns. Miami's defense is holding strong during the three-game win streak, allowing no more than 15 points in each win. Points could be hard to come by but Hopkins could be the best bet to find the end zone as he has twice in the last three games.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (+110)

Tennessee gave up touchdowns to two different wide receivers last week against the Colts with both Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce finding the end zone. The Titans have also given up just one touchdown to a running back in their last three games, giving a second wide receiver the edge here. Waddle's speed should open up room as well and offer him a chance to score on Monday Night Football, his first since before the Dolphins' bye week.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (+700)

Miami's given up nearly as many rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks (five) as they have to running backs (six). Running backs have scored just once in the Dolphins' last five games but Washington quarterback Sam Howell found the end zone twice with his legs last week. Levis could be under duress a lot against the Dolphins' aggressive pass rush (41 sacks this season) and could do the same on MNF.
