Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots Predictions

Score Prediction - Dolphins 20, Patriots 14

Miami closed last season on a 7-1 ATS run in the last eight games in the role of an underdog, looking to knock off New England in the season opener.

The Patriots have a new quarterback in the season opener for the third straight season and although they are favored, the Dolphins will have a lot to prove here in the front-end of back-to-back divisional matchups.

The point total has gone UNDER in three of the last four games played between both teams. (AP)

Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots Betting Analysis

One of the more anticipated matchups to take place in Week 1 is a battle of former University of Alabama quarterbacks who brought a title to Tuscaloosa.

Tua Tagovailoa enters his second season with the Dolphins after going 7-3 in 10 starts in 2020, although Miami fell short of the playoffs in spite of a 10-6 record.

The Patriots selected Mac Jones in the first round of this past NFL draft with the idea of him eventually replacing former MVP Cam Newton. Jones takes over in Week 1 after Newton was released in the preseason as New England is coming off a 7-9 campaign.

New England and Miami split a pair of matchups last season with the home team winning each time, including the Pats defeated the Dolphins at Gillette Stadium, 22-11 in the 2020 opener.
