Betting on the Miami Dolphins (-3)
Regular season record: 1-0
Tua Tagovaolia and Tyreek Hill absolutely went off in Week 1’s 36-34 Miami win on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers. Tagovaolia lit up the air for 466 passing yards and three touchdowns with just an interception on 28/45 completions, while Hill roasted Los Angeles’ pass defense for 215 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 11 catches and 15 targets.
Hill is a tough cover for any team because of his incredible speed and athleticism, but he’s not the only serious downfield threat New England will have to worry about. Jaylen Waddle can just be as productive after he had 78 receiving yards on four catches and five targets in Week 1. This high-flying Miami offense is going to keep defensive coordinators sweating this season.
Betting on the New England Patriots (+3)
Regular season record: 0-1
Had they not been behind 16-0 to start their Week 1 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Patriots might have just completed an upset victory at home. They will look to have a better start in week 2, with Mac Jones eyeing to take advantage of Miami’s seemingly leaky defense that allowed 433 total yards to the Chargers.
Ezekiel Elliott and Rhamondre Stevenson combined for just 54 rushing yards on 19 carries in Week 1, but there is a chance for them to light it up on the ground this coming Sunday. Remember that the Dolphins surrendered a dizzying total of 233 rushing yards to Los Angeles last Sunday.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots
The Patriots score a mild upset win at home by leaning on the pair of Elliott and Stevenson and defense.
Prediction:
The Patriots win, 27-23.
