Patriots at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Patriots 20, Dolphins 17

Moneyline

BET PATRIOTS (+110).

In Week 1, the Dolphins showed nothing promising from their offense, resorting to QB Zach Wilson (5-of-8 passing, 32 yards) after a poor showing from Tagovailoa. While the offense has shown promise in years prior, the Patriots have great value in this matchup.

Maye and the offense have a chance to steal a road win Sunday, but they’ll need to be more productive on the ground to open up the passing game. The Colts gashed the Dolphins for 156 rushing yards in Week 1.

Against the spread

PASS.

There is better value on Patriots ML.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 43.5 (-115).

Neither the Patriots nor the Dolphins gave anything in their opening week to point toward a strong offensive performance in Week 2, with both teams easily hitting the Under.

These teams have a lot to figure out on both sides of the ball, with injuries affecting both units. While both teams are expected to reach the end zone, the game should feature a slower pace.
