Why The Dolphins Could Cover The Spread

The Dolphins might have the scariest offense in the NFL after last week's performance. Therefore, there is a lot to watch. Tagovailoa hopes to do better this time around against the Patriots. Unfortunately, he went  12 for 19 with 161 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in his last meeting with the Patriots before exiting with an injury.

Jeff Wilson was the lead runner in last year's game against the Patriots. However, he won't be available for this tilt as the Dolphins placed him on injured reserve. Raheem Mostert will take the reigns. Significantly, he rushed nine times for 29 yards while catching eight passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in his last meeting with the Pats. Hill caught just four passes for 55 yards, while Waddle only had three receptions for 52 yards in the loss. Now, they would love to bounce back against a team that has had success against them for years.

But the defense must also play better. Unfortunately, they struggled throughout the majority of the content against the Bolts. So the Dolphins must make adjustments and force the Pats to pass.

The Dolphins will cover the spread if Tagovailoa can have a productive game. Then, the defense must force New England to pass.

Why The Patriots Could Cover The Spread

Jones will look to have a better performance against the Dolphins. Ultimately, he went 20 for 33 with 204 yards and two touchdowns in his last encounter with Miami. Jones hopes to connect on short passes and find his receivers. Meanwhile, Stevenson struggled last week on the ground. Expect him to find more room this week. Significantly, he rushed eight times for 42 yards in a winning effort in his last showdown with Miami. Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki will play a factor. Moreover, Henry would like to replicate his performance from last season, where he caught five passes for 52 yards. Gesicki will face the team that drafted him for the first time.

The defense played efficiently against the Eagles last week. However, they could not make the key stops to prevent putting themselves in a large hole. They must find a way to rattle Tagovailoa to have a chance. Moreover, they must force the Dolphins into long third-down conversions.

The Patriots will cover the spread if they can run the ball well and make the game easier for Jones. Then, their defense must stop the quarterback while containing two speedy receivers.

Final Dolphins-Patriots Prediction & Pick

Bill Belichick is still the greatest coach of all time. Therefore, expect him to prepare his team for this Sunday Night tilt against a dangerous divisional rival. The Patriots will do enough to cover the spread.

Final Dolphins-Patriots Prediction & Pick: New England Patriots: +2.5 (-102)
