Dolphins will rush for more than 120 yards

Expect a group effort here for the Dolphins, but the Patriots should be able to be had up the middle of the defense. The team lost Danny Shelton, Donta Hightower and Patrick Chung this offseason, dramatically softening their sturdy play up the middle of the defense. Given Miami’s heavy investments in the ground game this past offseason, the team will be looking to dictate play in the trenches at a much more consistent rate this season. Pair that with New England’s losses and the opportunity is there for Miami.
