The Miami Dolphins continue their battle back to .500 and keep their playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, the Patriots have made the change to Drake Maye as the starting quarterback which gives them plenty of hope for the future. The Dolphins are healthy, and more importantly, Tua is healthy. If the Dolphins can stay healthy they have a chance to get a wild card spot. But first, they have to take care of the division opponent the Patriots. Below are the Patriots at Dolphins preview and predictions.
The Miami Dolphins are coming off two impressive victories in back-to-back weeks against the Los Angeles Rams and the Las Vegas Raiders. As I mentioned above, the Dolphins have their offense healthy and seem to be getting better as the weeks progress. Meanwhile, Drake Maye as given the Patriots plenty to look forward to post-Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era. The Patriots have impressive victories this season. If Drake Maye continues making strides each week he can get the Patriots to become a contender again.
On the injury front, the Dolphins have questionable tags on Terron Armstead, Alec Ingold, and Isaiah Wynn. For the Patriots, there are several questionable tags and most importantly, Christian Gonzalez is on the defensive side for the Patriots. If Gonzalez is not able to go I do believe the Dolphins will have plenty of success on offensive.
Patriots at Dolphins Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
Historically the New England Patriots have struggled on the road in Miami. In fact, since the 2012 season, the Patriots on the road in Miami are 3-7 SU (30%) and 2-7-1 ATS (22.2%). Over the last three matchups in Miami, the Patriots have lost each of those games by at least nine points and an average of 11 points. Furthermore, the Patriots in that span are allowing 28.6 points per game.
Since the 2019 season, the Dolphins as a home favorite are 20-6 SU (76.9%) and 15-10-1 ATS. If those games are division matchups, the Dolphins are 6-1 SU (85.7%) and 5-2 ATS (71.4%). I’ll keep this one simple and continue betting on the home team here in the Dolphins as they look to keep piling on the wins.
Best Bet: Dolphins -7
Player Prop Best Bet
Tyreek Hill Over 5.5 Receptions
Tyreek Hill has found plenty of success against the New England Patriots in his career. In fact, this will be Hill’s 10th matchup against the Patriots. Hill has at least six catches in six of the nine matchups against the Patriots. If Christian Gonzalez does miss this game for the Patriots this could be a huge game for Hill. I expect Tua to continue finding his #1 target in this game.
