Head-to-Head Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots
In what some considered a superb season opener, the Dolphins seized a thrilling 36-34 victory against the Chargers in LA. Tua Tagovailoa orchestrated a masterful performance, connecting for an astonishing 466 passing yards.
Tagovailoa also managed to deliver three precision touchdowns and just one interception. But it wasn't just Tagovailoa who enjoyed the spotlight. Dynamic Tyreek Hill blazed a trail with an outstanding 215 receiving yards, setting the tone for a season filled with high-octane plays.
Jaylen Waddle also contributed to the team’s solid effort and chipped in with a respectable 78 yards to keep the chains moving. It's just the start, yet the Dolphins have managed to make a strong impression.

On the other side, the Patriots engaged in a nail-biting clash against the Eagles, keeping the contest within striking distance. With a chance at a last-second victory hanging in the balance, their dreams were dashed as they faltered on a crucial fourth-and-long.
The play came after the Pats denied the Eagles a shot at the coveted end zone. Mac Jones, the rookie sensation, showcased his potential, notching an impressive 316 passing yards and firing three touchdowns.
Yet, the run game, often a dependable asset, failed to ignite, leaving the Patriots yearning for a bit more firepower in their quest for success. New England is now in urgent need of a major driver to spark the offensive line and get the team up and running for all that’s left to come in the 2023 season.

Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots Odds
Against what some fans would have predicted, the Dolphins are now leading the way to Week 2. Miami´s solid display of talent against the Chargers has allowed Hill and company to lead with a -135 money line.
The spread is also at -110 for -2.5 points versus -109 odds of hitting the +2.5 points. Seeing that the game might just finish with a tight score, the point difference is quite low. Finally, the over 47.5 points is now at -108, while the under is at -110.
The Pats are now on a +120 moneyline, yet still close to clinching a win. With tight margins and the game heading to Gillette Stadium, the Pats have an ideal chance to get back. However, Miami’s offensive line is committed to keeping the head running even in cold New England.
Betting Tips for Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots
The Miami Dolphins might be leading the race to next Sunday’s game, but New England is right there behind and not by an ample disadvantage.
For Miami, this game will come with a sweet opportunity for revenge. The Pats took away Miami’s four-game winning streak last season as the Dolphins headed to the playoffs. The Dolphins finished the 2022 NFL season with a 9-8 record and 9-8-0 ATS.
As favorites, they maintain a solid 17-12 ATS record over recent seasons, showcasing their ability to meet expectations in games where they're anticipated to win.
On the other hand, the Pats finished the 2022 season with an 8-9 record and 7-9-11 ATS. New England is now at 60-1 odds to clinch the Super Bowl this season, marking it the team’s lowest odds since the 2001 season.
Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots Predictions
The stage is set, and it's quite clear that odds, stats, and experts point to one side. While the sun may not be shining over at Gillette Stadium, Hill and Miami’s passing game might just prove to be too much heat to handle for the Pats.
The start of this game will be crucial. If New England can jump out to an early lead and get the ground game going, they may be able to keep Tua and those vaunted Miami receivers on the sideline.
However, the Miami machine looks just a bit too formidable to against at the moment. Back the Dolphins on the moneyline and against the spread.
Prediction: Miami -2.5
