Week 16 of the nfl season sees the Dolphins travel to New England to play the

New England Patriots. A handful of weeks ago, this would have looked

like a snoozer of a match, but a resurgent Dolphins team will grant the New England Patriots all they want and more in

this game.

Confident Squads
The Dolphins and New England Patriots come into this game with plenty of

confidence. The New England Patriots are on the yearly playoff run and are seeking to secure the number 1 seed in the AFC, which will grant them home turf

edge throughout the playoffs. The Dolphins have turned things around

with a 5-2 run after they started the season with seven consecutive losses.

Match
The New England Patriots and Dolphins in fact met in Miami in the 1st game of the 2011

season. New England won 38-24 in a match that was not that close and Tom Brady threw for

over 500 yards. Don’t anticipate a duplicate of that game. The squads come into this game having developed substantially over the prior sixteen weeks. The Dolphins defense has become one of the best in the league, even though few realize it due to the fact of their

record. In turn, the

New England Patriots defense has become among the worst even though it has

better somewhat in the last handful of contests.

On offense, the New England Patriots are still dangerous. Tom Brady is competing like, well, Tom Brady. Nobody will shut down the New England Patriots, but the Miami

Dolphins defense is good enough to slow them down. This could possibly be just

enough for the Dolphins offense, which has been showing significant

life in the last half of the season having obtained more than 30 points in 4 of their last

six matches.

Will it be sufficient for the Dolphins to pull the upset? Having posted New England as a 9.5 point fave,

the odds makers don’t manage to think so. Personally, I favor the Dolphins in this one and surely to cover the spread.
