NFL predictions, picks, and odds for New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins. NFL Week 8 betting best bet and game analysis.
Despite last week's upset over the Bills, the Patriots are very much a bad team and the Dolphins have made a habit of dominating inferior competition. Expect more of the same as the AFC East rivals go head-to-head at Hard Rock Stadium.New England was on the right end of one of the biggest upsets of the year vs. the Bills while the Dolphins are spending the week being accused of being frauds after a disappointing loss to the Eagles.
Miami is first in the league in yards per play — by a wide margin — while the Patriots are 27th. While it might be true the Dolphins can’t hang with good teams, it can’t be denied that they destroy bad ones... and make no mistake about it, the Patriots are a bad team. Miami’s offense has struggled against the upper-tier pass rushes of the Eagles and Bills but was sacked just three times in the other five games .
These numbers are even more eye-opening when looking at home/away splits, as the Dolphins average 24.3 first-half points at home, while New England is at 5.3 on the road.Let’s continue to build around that first-half bet by adding in a bet to support the most explosive offense in the football. The Dolphins hosted two other bottom feeders in the Giants and Panthers this season and covered as a 12.5-point and 14-point favorite in those games. Is New England really three points better than the Giants and 4.5 points better than the Panthers? I don’t think so.
