New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins Prediction
The Dolphins are the more talented team so they’re going to be favored at home, but there’s no way I’m backing this team after week 1. It’s one week, I get it. However, the Dolphins looked completely unprepared on both sides of the ball to the point I’m surprised guys haven’t been fired yet. The Dolphins couldn’t get anything going offensively, Tua looks off, and the defense made Daniel Jones look like Dan Marino.
We knew the Dolphins had secondary issues heading into the season, but the front seven was supposed to be a strength. The Dolphins got little pressure. If that’s going to be the case all year, Miami will finish with the worst record in the league. Sure, Tua has never lost to the Patriots, and the Dolphins are 8-2 SU and 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Dolphins should win. I still want nothing to do with this team. It’s Pats and the points or pass.
