Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots SBG Odds Overview
For one thing, New England is the Beast of the AFC East until proven otherwise. Belichick carries considerable offshore betting cache. Keep in mind The Hoodie went 11-5 his one New England season without Brady. Sharps will at least consider Miami. The potential value is perceived. However, Ryan Fitzpatrick starting at quarterback disappoints many gamblers. Instead, New England is likely to get their business.
Miami Dolphins Team Overview
At the onset of 2019, the Dolphins lost seven straight games. First-year head coach Brian Flores seemed in over his head. And then the Dolphins began to click. Flores refused to let them quit. Miami won five of their final nine games. Further, they shed their old ways of quitting. A win at New England to end the season was a landmark achievement. Defense remains their biggest potential liability.
New England Patriots Team Overview
Quarterback Cam Newton was the 2015 NFL Most Valuable Player. And led Carolina to the Super Bowl that year. Bill Belichick took him off the scrap heap to replace Brady. And named him team captain. If anyone can replenish Newton that would be The Hoodie himself. Of great concern is the same lack of playmakers that doomed Tom Brady.

In this situation, the Dolphins remain the contrarian NFL Bets play. New England’s lack of game-breakers makes covering chalk problematic. As mentioned earlier Flores is changing the Dolphins culture. Miami will fight the full 60.
