Im hearing a lot of talk about how good the Dolphins are and how they've turned their season around...
Lets reflect on their last two wins after the Philbin era:
@ the 32nd worst team Tennessee Titans who turned the ball over 4 times and allowed a Sp Teams TD.
@ the 31st worst team Houston Texans, where the Phins no doubt played a great game from start to finish against a team who's once starting QB couldn't even make the team flight.
The previous 3 games were losses vs. Jets, Bills, Jax.
Im also hearing a lot of noise about how bad the 6-0 New England O-Line is. Yes a few of those guys have only 3-4 NFL starts. Butttttt, they won last weeks game vs. the best defense front four in the league. So how green are these guys??
Im also hearing a lot of talk about how Suh (0 sacks through the first 5 games) will be head hunting for Brady. The refs have proven for years they provide Tom with special protection. There is no way they are going to allow Suh to have his way tonight. He will be watched very closely. And Im also very certain that this noise will get back to Brady. Time and time again we've seen how that has worked out.
FYI, beating the #31 and #32 team in the NFL doesn't make you relevant or legit.
If your betting on Dan Campbell to go into NE on a short week, in primetime, and beat Belichick then you are probably the same kind of person who stares out the window everyday expecting to see a rainbow.
I am the biggest contrarian there is and Im always looking for a good SU underdog winner. This is not the spot. This is a square play and around 45-50% of the time the square plays win. Although I feel the odds to win here are around 85%.
Everybody is always looking for a reason to bet against NE. And time and time again when they are at home they play a clean game and bend but never break.
So if you put your money in tonight on the slim chance that Brady has a home clunker in primetime (don't even know if this has ever happened), or that Miami plays NE tight on the road because its a divisional game (NE has outscored Mia 96-30 the last 3 years in Foxborough), or that Dan Campbell is the answer (after beating Tenn. and Houston), then you clearly are the better capper.
The difference maker tonight is coaching, preparation time and the travel. All 3 of those goto NE. @)
NE -8 for 2 Units.
