New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins Game Preview
Why New England Patriots Will Win
The New England defense is still going to be terrific.
It might have melted down in the playoff loss to Buffalo after getting ripped up by Miami in the regular season finale, but it’s still going to be fine up front.

Why Miami Dolphins Will Win
Here comes the Miami passing game.
Good luck slowing down the deep threat tandem of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle no matter who your defensive backs are, but New England has question marks in the secondary on the outside.
