New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins Betting Preview
The New England Patriots win last week over the Buffalo Bills was one of the most surprising results of the Week 7 NFL schedule. Now, the Patriots will look to stack divisional wins as one of the biggest underdogs of the week.
Looking at the NFL odds and the New England Patriots schedule, this should be one of their toughest games this season.
When looking at NFL Team Stats, New England has struggled on the offensive side of the ball, scoring just 101 points in 7 games. The Patriots scored a season-high 29 last week. Mac Jones has thrown seven touchdowns and seven interceptions through seven games.
He is still searching for who his top target is this season, with Kendrick Bourne leading the charge with 34 receptions and 370 yards. Bourne has three touchdowns to lead the way. Hunter Henry is another option, with two touchdowns.
The Patriots brought over Ezekiel Elliott from Dallas, and he has contributed to 3.7 yards per game and has two touchdowns on the ground this season. The New England Patriots will host the Commanders next week before heading to Germany to take on the Colts in Week 10.
Dolphins’ Bumpy Ride
The Miami Dolphins had opportunities in their loss to the Eagles Sunday Night. A turnover, some penalties, and, a few times, lack of execution did them in. The loss was their second, as they were thumped by Buffalo in Week 4. Miami is still the top-scoring team in the National Football League, with 34.3 points per game.
Tyreek Hill is having an MVP-type season for the Dolphins. His NFL Player Stats show he needs just 93 yards to reach 1,000 already this season. He also has seven touchdowns. He may need to carry the load even more, as Jalen Waddle is likely out for this game with an injury and is on the NFL Injury Report. Raheem Mostert is the man at running back, as he has nine rushing touchdowns already.
Miami will head to Germany following this game and take on the Kansas City Chiefs. After that, they have their bye week before hosting the Raiders. The Miami Dolphins record of 5-2, with a possible 6-2 before the Chiefs game, will make for a big-time matchup.
New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins Betting Picks
This could be a bloodbath. The Miami Dolphins have been really good at home. They have played three games at home this season and scored 143 points.
The Dolphins have blown the doors off the Broncos, Giants and Panthers. New England is in the same category with those teams. Look for Miami to get after it right away and blow this game open.
When looking at the Patriots vs Dolphins odds, betting the Miami Dolphins at -9.5 over the New England Patriots is the bet to make in this game on Sunday.
