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.
