Two teams looking to redeem themselves following less than exemplary results (and maybe efforts) meet Sunday afternoon in Miami Gardens when the Dolphins (0-1) host the New England Patriots (0-1).
Miami, frankly, was embarrassed in Indy by the Colts, 33-8. Daniel Jones looked like a combination of Dan Marino and Peyton Manning especially in the first half of the shellacking. The Dolphins totaled a mere 211 yards for the game. How paltry is 211 Total Yards in today’s NFL? Daniel Jones threw for 197 yards...in the first half.
Unlike the Colts, the Patriots did not get the play under center with their quarterback that they anticipated. Drake Maye threw for 276 yards but got the Pats across the goal line just one time. On the other side of the ball, Mike Vrabel’s defense allowed 21 first downs and 389 total yards.
Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the Patriots and the Dolphins and grab a sweat or two.

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper): New England Patriots ML (+106)
The Dolphins look to have a mutiny on their hands, certainly with their fanbase and maybe in the locker room. The dysfunctional preseason has spilled into the regular season and negatively impacted every aspect of the offense and defense. Injuries now make their two biggest weaknesses on the OL and in the secondary even more pronounced, brilliant bounce back spot for the visiting Pats.
