The Week 7 matchup of the New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins will pit the best team in the NFL against the worst team. About the only thing the Dolphins have going for them in this game is that they will be playing at home and defensive leader LB Zach Thomas returns from injury. SBGglobal.com has the New England Patriots as -16.5 point favorites.
Last week Miami 1-3-2 ATS, lost another game to the ordinary Cleveland Browns 31-41 as +4 point dogs. On the opposite end of the spectrum the New England Patriots, 6-0 ATS, hammered a top 5 Dallas Cowboys team 48-21 as -5 favs. Despite the obvious mismatch on paper the Dolphins have played the role of bogeyman to the Patriots who are just 2-5 against the fish under head coach Bill Bellichick.
In order for the Dolphins to keep from getting blown out in this game RB Ronnie Brown must have a big day on the ground and QB Cleo Lemon must play mistake free football. Lemon will be without his top target for the rest of the year with WR Chris Chambers being traded to San Diego. Brown has been having a pro-bowl type year and he will be challenged by a Pats defense that is allowing only 78.0 yards rushing per game. SBGglobal.com has theTotal points for this game listed at 51.5.
The Patriots have a disposal of weapons on their league leading offense and they could be even more dangerous this week with the anticipated return of starting RB Laurence Maroney. Patriots WR Randy Moss has been dominating with 8 TD's by himself. The Dolphins must disrupt Patriots QB Tom Brady’s timing with a strong pass-rush or else Brady will pick apart the Miami defense. Miami’s D has been one of the NFL’s worst this year allowing 30.3 PPG but they always play inspired football against New England.
The Patriots might be in a letdown spot in this game playing against such a poor team after their big game against Dallas. The weather in Miami will be partly cloudy and humid with a high of 88 degrees. Will the Patriots give 100% effort against the lowly Dolphins? Can Miami build on last week’s offensive surge and pull of a huge upset? EinsteinPicks has an early 100 unit pick on the Kansas City vs Detroit game that has money maker written all over it.
