This weekend, the Patriots return to Foxboro to face off against the division rival Dolphins. This is an underrated game this week, not only because the Patriots can clinch the division with the win, but it is arguably their most difficult remaining opponent. As we all know, the Broncos are hot on the Patriots trail and winning is the only way to guarantee home-field advantage. Besides that, AFC East games are always good games. Especially when it comes to the Patriots, the other teams tend to lay it all on the line for these match-ups. The first game of the season between these two teams was an ugly game from the Patriots. After an acceptable first half, the team folded like a pancake after the halftime break. Anyone watching this game can expect this Patriots team to remember that performance, and come out with the intention of putting all of the early season woes to rest.
My Prediction:
Tom Brady- 345 yards, 3 TD's
Rob Gronkowski- 134 yards, 1 TD
L. Blount- 185 yards, 1 TD
Patriots Defense: Under 300 yards, 2 turnovers
Ryan Tannehill- 250 yards, 2 TD's 2 INT
B. Hartline- 80 yards, TD
Dolphins Defense: 500+ yards, 0 turnovers
Score: Look for New England to come out hot, scoring fast and early. The Dolphins may pull back in the game at some points early at the end of first half or beginning of the second (depending on kick off) but it will be a tough day other than that.
New England: 41
Miami: 24
