TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Records: Dolphins 4-11, Patriots 12-3

Line: Patriots by 15½

Satellite radio: Dolphins feed on Sirius 137 (streaming 818), Patriots feed on Sirius 81 (streaming 820)

Dolphins’ keys: Miami’s hopes on offense will rest upon the scrambling abilities of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, combined with strong play from WR DeVante Parker and TE Mike Gesicki. On defense, Dolphins must pressure Tom Brady and bully the Patriots’ offensive line, which has had issues this season.

Patriots’ keys: Quick passing attack while hammering the ball with RB Sony Michel. They also can build on holding the Bills to 4 yards per carry.

Who wins? The Patriots have newfound swagger after Week 16. Patriots 33, Dolphins 10
