New England Patriots vs Miami DolphinsThe New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins are not what you would call traditional rivals, but they do have the makings of what could be an intense rivalry over the next few years. While Miami has traditionally been one of the better franchises in the NFL, New England has only recently run into success. The Patriots have become something of a measuring stick for everyone in the AFC East, since they won three Super Bowl championships in four seasons. The Miami and New England rivalry picked up some steam two seasons ago, when the Patriots threatened to become the second team to finish the year undefeated. Miami had been the only squad to do this, so some bad blood began to brew between the franchises. When New England lost to the Giants in the final game, cheers went up from South Beach, and even more hostility began to grow. As Miami tries to fight its way back to being a perennial playoff team, the Patriots will be their biggest challenge. |
Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots

2* Freeplay: Miami +10.5
We were introduced to the Wildcat the last time Miami traveled to New England. The Dolphins surprised everyone, defeating the Pats 38-13 as a 12.5 point underdog. We will glady take Miami in this one since there are several factors working in our favor. The Pats have absolutely destroyed their previous two opponents, Tennessee and Tampa Bay and as a result this line is inflated.
