The Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots get their seasons underway Sunday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Dolphins vs. Patriots odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.
Expectations are high in Miami to compete for the AFC East title after finishing second in 2020 with an impressive 10-6 record. The pressure will be mounted on second-year QB Tua Tagovailoa after finishing his rookie campaign with just 11 passing touchdowns against 5 interceptions across nine starts. Miami completed the preseason 2-1 straight up, against the spread and Over/Under.
New England will be looking to bounce back from a disastrous 2020 season that saw it finish third in the AFC East, marking the first time since 2008 the team didn’t capture the division title. First-round draft pick QB Mac Jones will be making his first regular-season start for the Pats. New England finished the preseason 3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS and 1-2 O/U.
