The Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots clash is part of the lineup for Week 1 of the 2022 NFL Season. The two teams are rivals in the AFC East division and the rivalry is growing stronger every day, which makes us think that this will be a close match.
In the preseason, the Dolphins had good performances and finished with two wins and one loss, while the Patriots were only able to win one of their three games, without being able to show much improvement from last season.

The Miami Dolphins did not perform well in the 2021 season and finished third in the AFC East with a 9-8 record. This was the fifth consecutive season in which the Florida franchise missed the playoffs, so in this 2022 season they will surely try to return to the top.
The team has added some great players to its ranks and that is an encouraging reason to believe that this could be a great season. In the preseason clashes, the Dolphins opened with a 26-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then lost 15-13 to the Las Vegas Raiders, and closed with a 48-10 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the game in which they looked their best.
Betting on the New England Patriots
- Regular Season Record: 0-0
- Spread: +3
- Moneyline: -160
- Over/Under: 46.5
The New England Patriots are looking to put the 2021 season behind them: they were second place in the AFC East with a 10-7 record and ended up making the playoffs in the wild card round, but were unable to advance beyond that in losing to the Buffalo Bills 47-17.
The team seems to be taking shape after the reconstruction of the last two seasons, and this 2022 could be a great opportunity for them to return to the best level. The preseason was not good, as Bill Belichick’s team won only one of the three games, by a score of 20-10 against the Carolina Panthers. The Patriots lost to the New York Giants 21-23 and to the Las Vegas Raiders 23-6.
JefeBet Prediction
We can’t base our predictions on what the preseason was like for both teams, since the real and serious competition will begin in this match, but the New Englanders are the favorites despite being the visiting team, especially due to the experience of their head coach.
Victory for the New England Patriots.
